I've noticed interactive help areas on Spoonflower. Perhaps Chat or Phone Help could walk you through uploading your pic. I love ordering from Spoonflower. (no affiliation)
The colors are so vibrant!

I can't help you with the picture but first of all glad you weren't bitten by a jelly fish or shark! I have this picture in my head of you falling off the dock. Also hope you had insurance on your hearing aid and glasses. This would be a good time for both. Just glad you are safe.

Personally, I use page size labels and washed white fabric for my pictures, and they are great. Just cut your fabric the size of the label (8 1/2 x 11), carefully put it on the label and run it through the printer. One label can be used multiple times. Hope this will work for you.

Tnx, Granky. I will try that! Have you ever washed it after you printed it?

I've printed on fabric with good results. I ironed a piece of paper that was wax coated paper on just one the back side of the fabric. . I alos ironed on a 1/4" strip of the paper on the top edge of the fabic side which helps the printer. There is a YouTube video about it too.

I read somewhere that she used basting spray to adhere the fabric to the paper. I tried it and it works. I made labels. I used a home made solution for the chemical. I didn't wash the quilt before gifting it, so I don't how the print held up.
