    I love your pillow and I'm grandma will too. there is some stuff you can get that you spray on that will set your ink. Age might do it. I wouldn't wash it.

    Your pillow is great and the baby is soo very cute!! I might try to make something like that myself. Thank you for the idea.

    The ink does matter...I got an Epson printer for that reason...the ink I have is Claria, but I think there is even one better that this. Also...you should let the printed item set for 24-48 hours and then I use Snuggle fabric softener...HAS TO BY SNUGGLE. 1/4 c in 1 c water. Holding 2 corners...drag the print through the mixture and then lay on towel and roll up to get out excess. Then you are supposed to use a hair dryer to quickly dry it....I actually don't do this and it comes out fine.

    All printeble sheets don't act the same etiher. Hope this helps.

    My Epson printer uses durabrite ink, so I can rinse it but rinsing isn't necessary and the fabric is washable and doesn't fade. I no longer use my HP for printing on fabric.
