That's what I remembered reading! I thought I had saved it but couldn't find it. Saving for certain now, thanks!

There are other things you can use, other than embroidery hoops, but at the moment, I am drawing a blank.

Generally, the netting used is cheese cloth that has been treated with modge podge in order to have the print screen blocked off properly.

er...Mod Podge. Sorry, about that.

You can buy embrodery hoops at Michaels.

If embroidery hoops don't work out, I nailed netting to an old, empty picture frame.

it might be easier to just glue/staple netting to a home made frame. it would be way easier to print from something with four sides rather than circular.
