Hi, I used bubble jet set and just cream colored cotton fabric. I followed the instructions to the letter. Then after using the bubble jet set (I found this on Amazon) I ironed freezer paper (shiny side down) to the fabric. Then I took an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper, used painters tape (blue) and taped the top and bottom to the freezer paper. This added "stiffness" to the fabric. Then I ran it through my regular printer and it printed great. Thanks for the compliment. I am not a sewing gal by any stretch of the imagination, but I do love creating special things for all the people I love!

I printed on fabric. The fabric sheets were too expensive for 50 pictures. I used bubble jet set (on Amazon) and followed the directions. Then I ironed the "processed" fabric to freezer paper (shiny side of freezer paper goes down on top of the fabric) then taped paper on top of that.

Here is a link to how I found out how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Br25I...eature=related.
Hope this helps!

Nice thing to do for your son. I dried my sheets on my folding clothes dryer since I had so many!
