Fabric Sheets
Jun 25 2008, 7:53 AM EDT I am wanting to create a quilt with the Sew-in inkjet fabric sheets & was wanting to know if anyone has any tips on preserving the ink & fabric so it doesn't wash out years later or months? 6 out of 10 found this valuable. Do you? |

It is time consuming but worth it. Also, use new HP ink cartridges for the project. 6 out of 7 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Fabric Sheets
Sep 18 2008, 8:50 PM EDT I created two memory quilts for my grandchildren Christmas 2006. They have used them on their beds and have had no problems with the photo blocks. I am currently working on a queen-size Memory Quilt for my own personal use. I have changed my photos all to sepia tone and have done forty-two (42) blocks. I use Printed Treasures by Milliken for my photo transfers. You just need to make sure you follow the directions as to rinsing off excess ink and then I press my on the back side to heat set. Hope this will help you with your question. 3 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

Lisa here. I have made several t shirts, quilts &night gowns. All of them I would say "Don't get it dirty" You can't wash it without wrecking it. I finally gave up. I loved that kind of computer work but always have ended not happy. Please share any hints you have received. TY Lisa 0 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Fabric Sheets
Oct 10 2008, 9:14 PM EDT Lisa - Janice here. Sorry you have had some bad experiences. Two years ago, I made memory quilts for my two grandchildren as a Christmas gift (they were ages 7 & 9 at the time) and they have been and are using them on their beds. The quilts have been machine washed without any problems. I used an inkjet printer to print out the photos. (used approx. 12 photos on each quilt, 5x7, in color). I heat set my photos after rinsing for several minutes in cold running water and letting dry on towels. I really have not had any problems. I use Printed Treasures photo transfer sheets. They are a little more expensive, but worth it in the long run. 5 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |
