    Thank you for ALL the discussion here - I have never tried it but you make it sound so logical to do. Thanks.

    Fabulous. I must give this a try. Those purchased at the store are so pricey and hard to get a hand needle through. I like to print my quilt labels on them. Love the site. Thanx for sharing.,

    I've printed on fabric ironed to freezer paper with good success. I'm sure happy to have the 'recipe' for the fabric soak - thanks for posting!

    How does this method work when washed? Does it fade out when washed? I make a lot of photo memory quilts plus 5 & 6 generation quilts & use the bubble jet. Washing has to be in cold water on a delicate cycle & fluff dried with no heat to protect the photos. This method would be so much cheaper.

    Couldn't open this either. I use freezer paper, cut 8 1/2 x 11" and iron paper onto the freezer paper, cut paper to fit. It will then go thru the printer and print whatever you have on the computer.

    I am sorry. I meant iron the freezer paper onto fabric cut both 8 1/2 x 11". Run thru the printer and it will print on the fabric, whatever is on your computer screen.

    All I have to say is Thanks!! I didn't realize I didn't have to use fabric sheets which I was going to run out of for this memory project this week so I will do this and one of my sons has been trying to get me to buy him anything he can learn to juggle with...I will make bead bags today....weirdest thing he has to be able to juggle to pass PE (he's in 7th grade). Thanks again
