I forgot to tell you that I am trying other ways to print photos on fabric and have better luck using muslin soaked in a soda ash solution. I bought the soda ash at Jo Ann's. I soaked for 20 to 30 minutes and let the fabric dry then ironed it to freezer paper and put it through the printer and printed the photos on it. I then let that dry completely and peeled off the paper. I let it dry even more and then rinsed it in a mild soap. I use bubble set rinse. I then let that dry and send it through my regular wash. I am finding this fades too much but not as much as the ready made sheets have. If I find out more I will let you know.

What have you found that you can recommend? What should I definitely not purchase? Being retired now, I don't have many $$'s to spare on experimenting with all the different products out there. In advance, I thank all of you for your info...not only for this question, but for all the good information you share every day.
