Printing on cotton
I'm sure that I asked this 'ages' ago, but I can't remember what the outcome
was. I want to print a picture off my PC on to plain cotton sheeting to quilt. Is there a product that I can get to do this, or do I need a special lotion or printer cartridge or fabric....... Our quilting group is planning an exhibition next year with lots of schemes, I want to do elements, so naturally I want to quilt a periodic table (all the elements!) for it! My twisted view on life... Any advice, I can't afford much time or money fussing around on this project, it's just a fun piece! -- Janner "Quite often lately I have the feeling I don't know what's going on..." --- Snoopy!

You can buy fabric sheets to use in your ink jet printer. I bounght mine at
Walmart in the notions area but fabric stores probably carry them too. -- Kathy in CA Quilting Stuff: http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/kathys1068 "Janner" wrote in message ...

You can get a product called "Image Maker" that you paint onto a photocopied
image which you then iron onto the fabric. It's easier than messing around with possibly damaging your printer! Charlie. "Janner" wrote in message ...

I bought it from my local art shop. A good art shop should sell it! It
cost me about £3. Charlie. "Janner" wrote in message ... Any idea where they sell that in the UK? -- Janner "Quite often lately I have the feeling I don't know what's going on..." --- Snoopy!

That sounds like an interesting product. Can it be used with images from
an ink jet printer, or do the images have to be photocopies?

I'm not sure. I've always used them photocopied as I used to just do it at
school for free. I've always prefered this method as theres no chance of it ruining my printer! Charlie. "Julia in MN" wrote in message ... That sounds like an interesting product.

My printer is the HP Photo Smart P1000. I did trim the fabric w/freezer paper attached to the size of printer paper. You must make sure there are no strings hanging. Bonnie NJ |

I have ironed freezer paper to the back of my fabric, cut it the size of
printer paper, trimmed all threads, and printed it like that. I have a HP Office Color printer, and have never had any trouble doing it like that. I have also bought the fabric sheets, and used them in the printer. Sherry Starr "Janner" wrote in message ... I'm sure that I asked this 'ages' ago, but I can't remember what the outcome was.
