Printing Pics on Fabric
when my dear friends husband pasted away, her daughter asked if I would make 3 quilts for the boys with his cloths and requested some of their favorite pics to be included. I had never put pics on fabric, so I did a lot of reading. I ended up using bubble jet on Mona cotton, but I was still concerned about fading after years of washing, so I tried something to help set the ink longer. I had a can of clear acrylic spray. So I put a light coat on the pics after dried and set with iron, did a test wash with dawn, scrubbing it good.. It didn't even fade or change. Don't know if anyone has used or tried putting a sealer on printed pics, but I felt I would share. Only One issue, you can't iron the pic or the acrylic will stick to the iron.
