It's a washout"

Washout is the main reason I use a gel transfer. It is permanent and stays soft and flexible. You can quilt over it and wash it, gently Here are two examples of the clarity you can get.

Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting show had some information on this a few weeks ago. I can't remember the exact program but Marianne told about sending pictures off to a company and they will mail you back the photos on a full sheet of fabric ready to cut apart and make something from. She mentioned doing t-shirts this way. Might be worth a google search or go to their website and look for that program. Sorry I can't remember more about it. Have a great day!

There are products to set colors in these fabrics, they are made for ink jet printers, there is a soak and a rinse, I haven't used them, but we had a presentation in quilt guild meeting this month. The are available either in quilt shops or on ebay. Hope this helps.

Bubble Jet Rinse
Just wondering if anyone cam recommend fabric paper for printing photos on to. I bought a packet of (expensive!) paper to print photos on for a memory quilt. Fortunately I tested it out first and on the first light wash the photo faded considerably. Has anyone found a fabric paper that really works? Thanks.
I have done a few Memory quilts. They have been washed about three times a year maybe four. I use Bubble Jet rinse to set the ink better. Yea, It's another step But worth it for the set.

I use BubbleJetSet2000. After treating, iron the fabric to freezer paper. Cut to size and print. Then hand wash the fabric in a mild detergent solution. That way I have complete control over the pictures. One quart bottle will treat a lot of fabric. The solution that is left over after treating can be poured back into the bottle to reuse. The bottle has complete instructions on it.

They showed that show on PBS here today Helen. It is the 2200 Series and is show#2204. The link is below. I thought about this because someone else on here was asking about printing pictures to fabric for quilts yesterday on here.
