Has anyone used the fabric sheets that you print pictures on for quilting? I am wondering if it works well and if it is good quality that will hold up. I appreciate any help on this one. Thanks

I used it to print text on. Just couldn't resist making a wall hanging out of that "Ode To A Quilter" poem. It worked great, but dummy me, after I printed it out and was ready to put it together I found a typo! Haven't used it for photos, but I did have to change the settings on my printer for the fabric sheets.

I use these sheets to make my labels because I like to write a little "history" about the quilt rather than just my name, date, etc. Some of the quilts have been washed more than once and have been told they have faded a little, but not much. I usually tell the quilt recipient if they wash the quilt to use delicate cycle, cold water. I have experimented with pictures, but haven't made a quilt with any yet.

I have used them to make a family tree wall hanging. They worked great but have never been washed. I don't know how well they hold up.
