Please note: this is a live video. If you don't like the longer format with questions and the odd um and ah, this video isn't for you.

The method I prefer is....cut a piece of freezer paper that will fit in your inkjet printer...I always cut it standard size 8 1/2 inches X 11 inches. Place a piece of muslin the same size on top of the shiny side of the freezer paper and go over it with a hot iron. The fabric will stick to the freezer paper which will allow it to go through your printer . Load it into your printer and print your image directly on the fabric. When done, simply peel the freezer paper off the fabric.

This is a good method but it can (and will after a while) mess with the printer. I did this throughout my BFA and or works but should be done with a old printer or one you're comfortable with potentially messing up

We don’t have freezer paper in my country. Nor wax paper, only parchment paper. Is there another kind of paper I can use?
Images on fabric are really exciting. Some years ago, I bought some fabric that goes straight into the printer. It was quite expensive, so always good to have more affordable techniques. My daughters went to Japan for a holiday and sent some beautiful photos back via their phones. While they were still there, I printed some and made a patchwork quilted wall hanging, ready for when they got back! I must have been super organised and motivated that week. Not my usual crafting way😂
I am a quilter and I've never been happy with my quilt labels. This would be a wonderful idea as I could create a photo of myself and then add my note and signature after the transfer to the fabric. Thank you!

Fascinating! I had no idea something like this could be done. Thanks for the video. I’ve wanted to do videos. But the process is overwhelming. It’s a lot of work! Also, I live in a world, inside my head I’m sure, where people are nice. Seems like videos bring out the yucky in folks, sometimes. Anyway, thanks for going through the process and showing us how to do this.

Even easier: Load your ink jet printer with butcher paper. (Print on the dull side. ) Scan your image onto your computer. Print image onto butcher paper. Cut out image, leaving only enough to tape it on your fabric or other project. Do not touch image as it will smear. Using a wooden spatula, rub all over the image to transfer it.

@@judichristopher4604 no soap in it. Dampen it ever so slightly under a tap. I squeeze excess out before using it. It’s great on scuff marks on a staircase wall for example. It is slightly scratchy so will take some paint off with scuff mark so use it gently and turn it to use a new clean edge.
I know this quite a bit after the live, but I wanted to say that you are a delight and it was great information!
I use to do this with flower book pictures and transfer to plates. Works great!
Wow I wasn’t expecting such a crisp image. Btw if you get your nails done, magic eraser will remove nail product you’ll want to wear gloves to save your nails

Enjoyed your live Brry much.
So true about the heat gun…I found mine on the floor in the morning having fallen off my craft table, the fall switched it on and it was on ALL night and burnt my carpet. Absolutely horrified this had happened and what might have happened had I not gone in to the room wondering what the noise was. I now keep it propped inside a hairdryer holder (bought cheap one from Aldi). It doesn’t roll on to the floor now. Nice and stable.

Very kewl. Way back in the day, maybe late 80's, I used a medium called "picture this" to do t shirts & it worked the same way. It was probably the same stuff, & I was over paying for it lol. I would get color copies of photos blown up for the t shirts.

Nice to know someone has heat. So very cold and snowy in WI. I can hear you fine over the fan.
I'm glad I saw you rip your image by going to hard and fast, so I don't make the same mistake. The Mr. Clean sponge also lifted your image off, so I won't be using that. This is a great tutorial, especially of what not to do :)
Wonderful ! I love this !
I liked this processing idea.i need to give it a go. I have a project i have had inmind for a couple of years now.mm like 5 years.

Don't touch the photos! Get laser printed copies in a copy shop - it's a different process than using many domestic printers. e.g. I have an Epson Eco tank model of printer and this process would make the colours run.

Thank you! I will definitely try that! I’ve done a similar technique with transfers to clear packing tape. But you don’t need the matt medium, you stick it down, burnish it, soak it and rub the paper off the same way. You also don’t need the heat gun.
Cool. Will come back when I have the supplies.
I like when some of the ink comes off, has that vintage look.
Just love your video. You showed what could go wrong so when one attempts it they don't feel like they are an idiot. Again, just love your video

Byw, your teflon sheet shojld be able tp handle the heat of the heatguj just fine. They are often used for sublimation, and built to handle a lot of heat.

I love this transfer, do you know how to transfer images onto antique plates? I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for a long time now. Cheers!
With all these comments, someone probably said it. The quilt shops carry PFD fabric with no sizing. It means Prepared for Dye.
"Leaving to rest" Ha Ha Ha...this is so me! Having to cook for a large family for so many years I am so over cooking! After all it takes hours and they eat it up in 10 minutes. BUT when you create something...well, it's there to view forever. I have not done transfer for years, but cam across your page and decide I need to revisit it using your ideas of using the gel medium.
I want to try this idea to make additional decorations to the tote bags I make. I wonder if an iron and parchment paper could replace a heat gun? I also experiment making my own products likecgalk paint. I live rural, hard to even get deliveries. But I look up ingredients and old time ways of doing things. Also ignore the negative people. Let's see their videos!
Great video!

Thank you very much for sharing the video!! I have a question. Can I use the retainer with sublimation inks? We can use this ink with 100% polyester fabrics, good for crafts!!! I love the idea of stamping directly on fabric with adhesive paper, although I also have the heat press machine. Thank you! ❤❤❤❤😊
I haven't tried this yet, but as far as the last bit of rubbing off hazey paper goes, where you use magic eraser... I'm wondering if you could just coat it with more matte medium which might just make it disappear... For instance using plastic resins, if you have a scratched or fuzzy layer, adding a coat over top just makes it all disappear... not sure about paper... but the action is kind of like making it permanently wet.
