I use the fabric by electric quilt company. It can be a little pricy but I have made 3 quilts with photos. I have had minumal bleeding of color. I just put it threw my printer and set the pictures as in directions.

I have used "Printed Treasures" for years. I use it for labels. It goes thru the printer just like heavy paper. The colors are true even after washing. I tried the June Taylor brand and it faded badly. My bright Easter egg label was a pale imitation of itself. I buy it at JAF w/50% off coupon.

Be careful in buying the sheets to print on. Be sure the ones you buy are washable. I bought a box of fabric sheets (Jacquard brand?) that didn't disclose on the outside of the box that you have to DRY CLEAN the fabric after sewing it into something. That disclosure was in the instructions inside the box. You might want to ask to open the box of fabric and read the directions before completing the purchase.
