dltaylor -- where did u find it to print it out? I have searched the web and cant find it thanks -- laura

Thank you for the kind words!

I agree. Jan you make things so clear!!

if you PM me I can fax the story to you. For those who have the book its on page 159. follow Jan's directions for printing.

Fabric must be treated to retain the colour from inkjet printer. If you can't buy the pre-treated fabric, you will have to buy 'Jet-Set' solution to soak your own fabric, and cut to A4 size. The bottle will have instructions. Then it's best to allow to leave over-night then set with the iron.

Jan, I also thank you for the instructions.

I have made this quilt. I'm not sure why you want the story with the quilt. The story of underground railroad and the quilt patterns has been largely questioned. If you do some research on this you will find a lot of information on how this is thought to be more myth than truth. That being said, it doesn't take away from the beauty of the quilt. I love sampler quilts and Eleanor Burns.

Jan, thanks for the great instructions. As always you have such great solutions.

Joann sells fabric on paper that will go through your ink jet printer. I buy it in a roll and use it for all my labels. You just cut off the size you need, print your label, then peel off the paper back. I use Microsoft Word to design the labels and can use pictures, etc. on them. So pretty. Then you can attach to the back of your quilt as desired. I have also thought about printing pictures and using on the front of a quilt but have never done this. I've seen it done though. You will find the product in the t-shirt section in their stores.

I printed it out on fusible fabric sheets, too!

When our guild did this quilt for a project several years ago, we ordered the book and the story already printed.
