DD and I have made several photo memory quilts. I don't remember what pretreated fabric we used in the first one, but it RAN. We later found "Printed Treasures". I highly recommend it. The photos faded slightly in the first wash, but there was no discernible fading in subsequent washes. I use regular detergent in warm water, delicate cycle like I do in all my quilts and dried on medium heat in the dryer.
