Thanks you folks are super with all the knowledge!

I also use the freezer paper. I cut the freezer paper to a standard piece of printing paper size. Then I cut the plain fabric that I want the pictures on and iron them together, and they go through the printer nicely. You can then do family pictures, etc. also. Be sure to heat set them.

I used the pre treated fabric sheets put out by the Electric quilt company EQ, they were easy to use and seem to be lasting

Here's my suggestions:
When using the bubble jet solution, I try to use 200 count muslin. I think it prints better. I also treat a piece of fabric slightly larger than 8.5 x 11, then iron it to a piece of freezer paper, then trim both together down to 8.5 x 11 size. That way the edges are well adhered and work thru the ink jet well. My other thought: if using a commercially prepared product, besure to check to see if it is washable, if you might have to wash the project. Wishing you well on this project. |
I had to make some quilt labels to attach to some quilted bears...my printer refused to accept the fabric/paper...so, had to go to a print shop to make them.

Great information. I want to do a picture pillow for my daughter. I wanted to use 3 1/2 squares with pictures and fabric. I think I may try the Bubble Jet.

Remember (most of the fabric you buy tells you this) you need to use an ink jet printer NOT A LASER. Caryl Bryer Fallert has some good info on her website
