Notta. I have a question about printing photos on your computer. Is there a "softer" but better version or way to do it without using those printer sheets we get at the fabric store. I used one of those with a pic for a little boy I did a quilt for and the picture is almost gone. You can't hardly see it. I'm just wondering if there's a better way to put pictures on fabric so they won't fade away quickly. I thnk his mother washed it in the washer but I'm sure she didn't use anything that should have caused that pic to wash out so bad. Ideas?

The only one crazier than the seller would be the buyer

One man had his prize racehorse on fabric he used to upholster chairs for his office. Her prices are realistic if you want to design your own creation.

Okay I can see it for specialty fabrics but for common ordinary quilt fabric, that is ridiculous. If she is waiting for quilters to come in and pay that price, she is going to go out of business quick. I am grinding my teeth at $10.25 a yard which is what I hear fabric is going to.

I would not even look at a fabric at that price.
One of my quilting friends is realy into app.and was hunting for a swade in black and was told that it would be $79 a yard,So I started looking localy and found it for $ 10 a yard. as she only needs 3/4 yard this price really apealed to her. :thumbup:

Only if it were made from spun gold.

Ditto!

I honestly can't imagine the pricing is for cotton quilting fabrics tho' which would explain the prices being charged.

absolutely NO way!! For that I'd figure out how to paint my own fabric. :roll:

absolutely not - unless maybe if each yard came with a cleaning woman for a month!
