wow..I've never had a problem and do many picture quilts. I get my fabric sheets from cjenkinscompany.com but
I have used other brands. Once printed on ink jet printer they need to dry...then useing an iron on unprinted side
heat set, do not use steam. Then yo rince fabric sheet in cold water or bubble jet rinse. I've never had my pictures
fade but I have had some thread bleed so now I also use color catchers in the washer!!
