    Default Best way to transfer a photograph onto fabric for a quilted pillow

    Can someone tell me what to buy to put a photograph onto fabric. I know I have seen something somewhere but can't remember what it is called and dont know what the best brand to use. Has anyone used something with good results. TYVM

    there are different fabric printer sheets on the market, June Taylor is the one I think Joanne's carries- but there are others- they come in packages of 3-10 depending on which ones you find- and It is important to read the packages (some are for wallhangings *not washable* - some are washable) and it is important to follow the instructions. or- you can buy PFD fabric (prepared for dyeing) and use that- or you can use bleached or unbleached muslin- pre-wash it- with detergent- no fabric softener- press freezer paper to the back of it- cut it to the size of printer paper- make sure the freezer paper is well adhered to the edges- this holds the fabric to run through the printer---allow the pictures to 'cure' dry well- so the ink saturates the fibers- then heat set- then rinse in cold water- make sure you are using an inkjet printer- and good quality permanent ink. there are many tutorials & u-tube videos on printing on fabric.
