Works great every time and I have used this method on quilts that get used and washed. Hope this helps.
I've used this method too....a lot. It works really well, & the fabric doesn't feel stiff like cardboard the way it does with some of the store bought transfer sheets (which I've also used a lot).
Just don't panic if the sheet gets jammed in your printer. Most printers have a 'back door' you can use to retrieve any misbehaving sheets. (guess how I know)
Make sure you iron the freezer paper down really well, & try again.....
one sheet at a time. If you keep your finished quilt out of the sunlight, it will maintain a brighter color longer....sunlight fades them fast! &, if you use a small amount of white vinegar in the wash water, that will also help the colors 'set' & stay bright.
good luck!
