Hi,
I have finally finished designing a rag memory quilt for my stepson's 50th birthday and want to start printing out the pictures. I am very much a newbie, so bear with me. I have fabric that you can print on and I also just bought Leslie Riley's Transfer Artist Paper. It's supposed to wash up very well after you iron it onto fabric. Since I am making a rag quilt, I like to rinse them at least two or three times to get the full "ragging" I possibly can. My question is this? Will the photos fade? I am going to print the photos in black and white to give it an antique feel. All input and advice is most welcome. Thank you all! Japonica |
i've never heard of that product, do you print your photo to it then iron it onto the fabric?
i have not had much luck with doing pictures that way, they crack, i like to print right onto the fabric i would do one picture and wash it a few times to see how it does before i do the whole quilt let us know how it works |
Thank you. I had planned on testing it first! I think I will do that tomorrow, I will let you know!

How is it used? I have used C. Jenkins miracle fabric sheets (already treated, backed and ready to put through the printer) with good results. |

I think Bubble Jet Set is the best buy. I have a bottle that I have had for years. You treat your own fabric and put it through the printer with a piece of freezer paper ironed on the back of the paper. Works great, washes up well. Just follow the directions on the bottle exactly.

Bubble Jet Set is put out by C. Jenkins. It is what they treat their fabrics with, which makes the process easier for quilters. (rather than having to treat your own fabrics) Theirs are treated and backed, ready to put through the printer.
