Well that is pretty daunting.... Have you ever considered a less "noble"
process? Tho all I can think of at the moment is a platinum-toned silver
print of some sort.(Gum and cyanotype will work on fabric fine but somehow
I figure they're not what you have in mind.) And what do you do with the
cloth print when finished? Do I remember you saying you put it on screens?
