I have a question about printing on fabric. Before I bought the Bubble Jet
rinse I bought some of that precut/pretreated fabric by June Taylor at
Hancocks. Terribly expensive for a few sheets. I was pleased with how well
it fed thru the printer and the outcome was really great - other than being
thick and stiff. I heat set it like the directions tell you to do but a
drop of water got on it while I was working with it and it created a blotch.
I'm really upset because I thought this would be as good as advertised. Has
anyone else had this kind of problem? Did I do something wrong. I'm
looking at a whole quilt of photographs and I sure don't want this to happen
again.

I saw a program on the telly the other week and the quilt lady used her own
fabrics to make her Kaelidascope quilts.
I thought I could do this as I love to dabble in Graphics.
I made my own "Fractal images" and imported them into Photoshop and then
used a small free plugin to Kaelidascope the images. Increased the
"contrast" and the " saturation " amounts then copied them to a new Image
with a 600 dpi (thats so when they are printed the colours come out
better)
I used the Bubble Jet Set on a white quilters muslin and did what you are
meant to do then printed them out. I found from previous experience that
using the muslin makes for a floppier fabric in the end.Other fabrics that
I
have printed on have come out too stiff.
WOW ! now all I have to do is work out what colours and styles to do the
sashings and I have my very " own " quilt. Designed and made by me, all
me.
The images I came up with are here if anyone wants to see.

One day in the near future I may get to sew for the day then I can start
on
it.
