Help..Computer Printer fabric dry clean only
#1
Ok, I got so excited when at Joanns sale yesterday I picked up the wrong computer printer fabric. I got dry clean only. I have opened it and printed a picture now trying to decide what procedure should I follow to find out how it can be washed! Yep, trying to find a way to clean it without dry cleaning. Has anyone had any luck? Or does anyone out there want it? I will have to go back to Joanns today and buy the washable stuff.....do not want to go back; afraid I will spend too much. Any advice would be appreciated!!!

have you experimented with the picture you printed??? heat set it? set it aside to cure...take it to the sink and run cold water through it, see if the ink comes out or not...it really should depend on the permenence/quality of your ink whether or not this fabric will be ok or not.
is it cotton?
i have lots of (dry clean only's) that get washed all the time...without problems....
if the ink does run when cold water is ran through the picture i would only use those fab=sheets for wall hangings or items that will not need laundering.
i hope it does not wind up being a waste for you
