Recommendation for printing color to fabric?
I want to be able to print color icons to fabric to indicate the contents of pouches. I was inspired by a photo of this product, which I am using only as an example to see what I'm trying to get. Do you know of a product that works with colors this vivid that I can put through my ink jet printer? Most of the photo-> fabric I see are photographs, not artwork.

I know this lady I see at shows that sells photo fabric products and she has beautiful samples at her booth. I will look for her card and get back to you.

Try TAP, Transfer Artist Paper, available at JoAnn's and elsewhere.

Found an email address for the lady I mentioned earlier. She will also be at Road to California this coming week, if you are in the area. That is where I originally found her.

Do you want a sew in product or an iron-on transfer or a fusible fabric picture? Once you tell me the answer to that, I will tell you the best products I have found for each purpose.
By the way, I assumed from the advertising that TAP would work great for some labels on quilts; so I purchased a large pack. Nope...needs to be used with a more loosely woven such as a t shirt not a quilting fabric. The fusible glue shows with a tightly woven fabric; rather than settling down in between the fibers, it stays on top. Another question is which type of printer do you have? My answer depends on that too. |
