What technique(s) did you use for the pictures on your memory quilt?

I have seen/tried 3 different methods.

1 - Printing on T-Shirt transfers then ironing on a pale solid coloured
fabric.

2 - A product from The Shopping Channel that a neighbour of mine bought
which you print your picture, then use this liquid stuff to attach it to the
fabric/muslin. Then use another liquid chemical to "wash away the paper
fibers away from the picture. It took us a LONG LONG time to get it nice.
Then, you couldn't iron the picture or it would melt due to the picture
being turned into a plastic type product. Then it peeled off the fabric in
places after all that work. AGH! It was weird and awkward to work with it.
I would never use that again. Unless someone had experience with it and had
some advice to offer.

3 - Make vinyl covers that you place the pictures in and you can replace
them when you wish to wash it or change them.

Anyone else have any other ideas that have worked well or not?

It might be nice to share our experiences...

I just took a workshop of photo transfers using the new "Printed Treasures"
photo sheets that you put in the printer and print pictures. It's probably
just a fabric prepared with Bubble Jet Set solution and trimmed and backed
to easily put in the computer printer. The pictures came out great.
I have treated my own fabric with Bubble Jet Set and had very good results.
I used to iron the fabric on to freezer paper and then trim to standard
paper size but often the fabric would get a bubble in it and then the print
wouldn't be perfect. I now use Avery Labels that are the size of a standard
sheet of paper. They can be used several times before discarding.
I have tried a couple of the methods you outlined, but the fabric sheets
(whether purchased or prepared at home) are definitely better.
You can see some of my photo transfers on the African quilt on my webshots
page. Just know that I manipulated the original colors to make them
"artsy"!

Christina,
I used iron on photo transfer paper . The photo can not be ironed after
it is applied or it will "melt". But with my dad , I was not worried
about that !

Yeah ,I am working on the label for it today/ tomorrow.
It is called "Black Lake Beauties: the ones that got away"
Black lake is where he and his buddies went fishing every year for a
week. Man , the "stories" they'd tell about the "big one" etc.....

iron muslin onto freezer paper, print, heat set (only one type of
printer works for this but I can never remember which does and which
does not) - cheap though!
