I got a lady to make happy! Dan.
There ARE fabric sheets to use with ink jet printers. Be sure to get a good quality one. My personal experience is I used one called Printed Treasures, I believe it was $40.00 for 10 sheets at JoAnn's, but I had a 50% off coupon! I was 100% happy with it. A friend of mine used a lower quality (cheaper brand) that didnt print as nicely as mine did. She also ended up ruining some of the photos as she sprayed with water when she was pressing her seams. She read the label on package and now her quilt has to be dry cleaned :(. Be sure to read the packaging well. BTW... I didnt have to do anything with my photos using the "printed treasures" brand.
Good luck, Your a good man for doing this for your sweetheart!
