Terri, there are several ways to do it but if you want the ink to not wash out you will need to get Bubble Jet Set I can't find it in stores but it is on line, You treat the fabric with that. I cut my fabric the size of printer paper and iron on a piece of freezer paper then it will go through the printer. If you don't treat it it will wash off. I just use a tightly woven white for the fabric. I have no problem quilting it. You can also purchase transer fabric but I haven't found one I like.
