You use a light fabric that's prepared for dyeing, which is soaking the fabric in Bubble Jet Set and let dry. Then you iron freezer paper to back of fabric (it's cut to the size of a regular copy paper). You feed the fabric thru your printer after you scan the picture. The picture will print onto the fabric. You cut off the excess material. Hope this helps.

You have to copy the picture on to fabric copy paper.
You can get it at Joann's. When you buy the fabric paper
it will tell you what to do.Very easy to work with.comes out great to. Good luck..

Cindy the software that daisylil is referring to is called Quilted Photo by Tammie Brower. the website is
www.quiltedphoto.com. You can also do a search on the board for photo quilts and check out the picture done by sewsilly on 09/06/2009 I started a picture several years ago and never finished it. You make me want to dig it out and try again.

hi! i was reading thru some of the posts and found someone had already given you the same advice i was going to. the reason i'm telling you this is because i normally read thru and if my advice has been given i move on and don't post anything. but i agree it is disappointing to see that 2,000 people looked at your thread and only 63 wrote a message. now you know why i wouldn't normally comment. have a great week end!

There is a website Soft Fabric Photos.
They will do it for you if you send a photo or
you can buy fabric sheets from them. They
send photo back with your order. Also, you
may check Quilt Store in your area to see if
they have a printer to do it for you.

I would love to learn how to do the pic. I just got my puter running so now I can upload a pic of what i'm talking about. hang on and i'll try

it's a photo of a photo so it's course, my copie is much clearer and it's rotated but you can get an idea of what it is i'd like to do. I want to keep it in the black and white and todo it all in fabric.

Thanks all, I'm gonna be going back over the replies tomorrow and repling to every one. I thank you somuch all of you. I'm sure somewhere among all your suggestions is the help I needed and so much want :-)

again god bless and thanks all.
