Super.I have an HP printer and I used to be able to print onto fabric if I
ironed the material onto freezer paper but on this one it just didn't seem
to feed thru properly. I will check the computer shops as you suggest.

Got the printer, got the pics but have no idea how.

You can get fabric print sheets just about anywhere (Office Depot,
Walmart, Comaputer supply stores, etc.) They work in just about any
Inkjet printer (Laser jets and impact printers don't work).

There's also a way to prepare your own fabric - there's a company that
sells a set of liquids for adhering fabric to paper (so it will go
through your printer) and for prepping the fabric to make it more
colorfast and not wick the ink. (Although surprisingly, that's not much
of a problem!) Probably a lot cheaper if you do any quantity, and a lot
more work, too.

I attended an hp presentation and demo recently - the results are
unbelievably good!

I think your printed quilts would look even better with a very thin
pseud-batting filler, a backing, and some faux stitching to give them
real three-dimensionality.

Miniature quilt racks are available, both pre-made and as kits.
