Printing "all the elements" would have been so much simpler if only you had
lived in the Renaissance. Then there wer only four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Nell in Austin "Janner" wrote in message ... 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!

Just this morning Alex Anderson's guest was scanning family documents which
she printed for quilts. I looked at it, but just thought that it is far beyond what I feel up to right now. Power to you! Nell in Austin "Janner" wrote in message ...

I use the transfer paper that Ami Simms sells. NAYY.
http://www.mallerypress.com/photsup.html You have to take your pictures and the transfer paper to a copy place with a heavy duty heat setting printer. Do NOT try this at home!! The ink will fall off the paper and make a terrible mess in your printer. You have them mirror image the copies and use heavy paper. Then, you take the copies home and press them with a HOT iron and lots of pressure. I covered a board with some batting and muslin, placed it on the floor and pressed there. A bit more trouble than the ones that you do in your home printer, but the copies on the fabric are extremely sharp and are washable. It truly looks like the actual photographs on the fabric.

Still, when the printer you're buying is going to be part of two peoples
business', it's not a chance to take. From the pictures I've seen of inkjet printer fabric, I definatly think the image maker is better though. It's a much more photographic result, much cleaner, YMMV. It's also cheaper. I've seen freezer paper for sale here for around £7 a pack ($10). The image maker was about £3 and should last longer.

I've always prefered this method as theres no chance of it ruining my printer! Charlie. 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 used a white close weave fabric that I soaked in Bubble jet and let
dry. I then iron it to freezer paper and printed a picture of my grandson onthe fabic. I then sewed it to thee back of the quilt I had made him. It is supple, not too stift. The colors were pasable but could have been brighter. Diane "Janner" wrote in message ... I'm sure that I asked this 'ages' ago, but I can't remember what the outcome was.
