Abstract
A fabric printing apparatus includes a body and a cloth holder that holds a cloth and is movable in a moving direction. A receiver is disposed inside the body. The receiver removably holds the cloth holder. A printing device prints an image on the cloth placed on the cloth holder held by the receiver. A guide rail is mounted on both lateral ends of one of the cloth holder and the receiver in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the cloth holder. The guide rail engages and holds both lateral ends of another one of the cloth holder and the receiver in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the cloth holder.
