I've ironed fabric onto freezer paper and run it through the printer. Wonder if you could iron tissue paper (perhaps using an applique sheet for protection) onto freezer paper and print it? Can't try it at the moment don't have printer until weekend.

you would not be able to separate the tissue paper from the printer paper...you can run freezer paper sheets through the printer then press the freezer paper to your fabric instead of using the adhesive.

I did it with one of my show quilts with the p-n-s due to wanting perfect border design.

did any of you ever use that Glad press-n-seal? It worked great as long as you let the sharpie dry before you sewed!
I have used wax paper sheets that you get from the restaurant supply company, trimmed them to fit into my computer and printed off the designs I wanted from my extensive collection of those EQ quilting designs.
