    Default Photos on Fabric for Wedding Guest Book Quilt

    I'm making a guest book quilt for my son's wedding and would like to add photos to this quilt. Any tips on how to go about this as well as which printer and/or fabric works best would be greatly appreciated! Is there a service that would work better (i.e. Spoonflower or FotosonFabric)? Thank you!

    I have not tried Spoonflower. We have a local shop that prints on tee shirts. They will print photos on my fabric and they hold up good. They can also size your photos if you want them enlarged.

    I've done at home with the supplies you buy at JoAnn's in a package on my home printer--ho-hum. So I did like CJSews and took to the local t-shirt store and she enlarged and printed on fabric I took her--looks great.

    There was a favorable article on Spoonflower just yesterday:
