I have used Printed Treasures for years -- tried the June Tailor once and hated it. The fabric used for photos is a little tigher weave (more threads per inch) to give a smoother picture so the fabric is a bit stiffer. I use the very old Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006 to oversaturate the colors (the inkjet color is absorbed into the fabric and so oversaturating the picture makes the final project look good). I always do a test print on the fabric to make sure it looks good.

Some of the fabrics need to be soaked (see directions) to get the excess color out -- and I always heat set after the fabric has been rinsed. One of my quilts with pictures is 10 years old and looks great. The only problem I have seen is that the sun bleaches them faster than the fabric.
