My feelings exactly! I loved this so much!

👍 This is very informative sweet sister Lisa. God bless you richly in your journey, and in everything you do.

This was very interesting. Thank you. I am from Australia. I am currently hand sewing a large memory quilt for my son, which is already quilted. I have a large photo film reel appliqué consisting of 44 photos. I used Matilda’s own ink jet printable fabric sheets which were very expensive for the amount that I was using. There are 5 sheets in a pack for $25 Aud. I get 2 photos on a sheet, so it was an expensive project. As an inexperienced quilter it was all I knew. The photos are beautiful and, on advice from my local quilting shop, I put on fusible web and quilted it on the front. I am currently in Croatia finishing the quilt and I needed to print the label and one photo, using the same printable fabric. The photos weren’t as nice as the existing photos and it appears that there is a slight pinkish hue. Not bad, but it’s there. I had no choice but to use it as I don’t want to take the quilt back to Melbourne (I’ve already taken 18 months.) I’ve concluded that the ink must be different. With my next two quilts for my other children, I will try your method. Thank you.

They are so cute. Thank you for sharing, and the free rung mug panel.

You sure do a very nice job with your videos. It really helps to have all the tips. Thank you so much.

I just found this, was looking for a way to do a picture on fabric. Last time mine faded away and that was very heartbreaking because I had to take apart my quilt to replace that block! Thank you for posting this!

I previously did a printed label for the back of my quilt- a few washes of the quilt and the label is useless because it faded so badly. I didn't use Retayne, so I have hopes to try that experiment again with better results.

Lisa, u r so generous with yr time and thought in trying 2 help us all. Thank u for doing yr videos, I always look forward to them. U give me the confidence to hav a go. U always make sure that u don’t leave anyone guessing how Lisa. God Bless u and yr Family xxx

This was a great video. Thanks for doing the thorough comparisons. I have several memory quilts to make using photos and I will definitely be using tips from this video

KZread can read my mind. I’m getting ready to make some junk journals and wanted to add fabric pages. Was going to start searching for a tutorial and this came up in my suggestions. Very clear and understandable instructions. Thank you.

This was definitely worth it, and thank you so much Lisa. I learned a lot!

Hey Lisa ! Such a great video, so helpful. I will definitely be ordering these sheets from Amazon. I will be using them for my quilt labels. I have jammed my inkjet with a label on freezer paper and these sheets look so nice a stable. I hold my breath until my label comes out of the printer ! ! You do such a wonderful job explaining everything you are doing. Will have to give the retayne a try also. ((hugs))

After this week I'm SOLD on these sheets verses the freezer paper....so much faster and I'm getting great prints. I've had a few jams with the freezer paper myself. 100% transparency here.....I printed 6 of these little mug rug designs for this video....one of them did a small wrinkle coming out of the printer.....I'm not sure why???? I was still able to use it for the video though lol. Sending hugs back your way!!

Perfect! I made blocks for a baby quilt and they came out better than anticipated. The only thing that changed was I used the Ritz version of the chemical. Thank you so much!

I can't wait to try this! Thank you! ❤❤❤

Just bought retayne and the labels. Thank you for such an in depth experiment. While listening to your video, I was hand letter embroidering a quilt label. Looks sloppy and is tedious. Will try your printing method for future quilt labels.

Great tips. Thanks for the printer setting info! I think I'll use freezer paper. I already have it and since I pre wash my fabric it probably is much easier to remove. I like doing things the old fashioned way.

One hour to wash is really long time. I bought a commercial grade Maytag washer in HomeDepot and no short cycle wash. I sold it cause I hated it. I bought an analog Speed queen washing machine at a local furniture store it was pricey $1500 but worth every penny the machine is commercial grade very heavy weight. Thanks to 2 delivery men that installed it. I love that machine can do a wash in 15”, 9”. I think use vinegar rinse. Then I hang dry outside on the line here in tropical Puerto Rico. Clothes dry here in breezy March in 45”. In hot summer 20”.

Thank you for this video and sharing your knowledge with us. How do you get the image or text to print to the full size of the fabric? I print fabric labels for my projects and I am looking to use this as an easier way to do that but I want to utilize the whole paper/label size or as much as I can to maximize my printing without wasting any of the fabric.

So helpful. Thank you

Hi Sharon, the download is in pdf form and so I don't think it can be changed. I used a program called Inkscape to design this. It is a vector based software and a free download online. You could design your own custom prints for fabric :)

Asking about the stabilizer.....are you asking about t-shirt quilts??? I have a ton of videos on that, my favorite is the Pellon P44F :)

I have only printed on the June Tailor colorfast sheets with my husband's inket....I have seen many people print using an inkjet with Retayne or Bubble Jet

Thanks so much for this video. I really appreciate all the time and effort this took. Lisa, do you prefer this method for printing photos for a quilt over using the June Tailor Colorfast Fabric Sheets? I recently rewatched that video of yours and I'm curious as to which method you think works better. Thanks!

@TheQuiltmakerHomestead

4 жыл бұрын

I think they are both really good methods of printing on fabric. The awesome thing about the June Tailor sheets is that they are already treated and they work great for stubborn injet printers that won't set otherwise. I will say, I think they are a bit "stiff"....I don't want to say "crunchy"...but they feel a bit different then the rest of the fabrics in the quilt.....but the print stays lol. I like the other method better only because you can use any fabric and the fabric keeps it's normal drape and feel. That may not work for everyone's printer inks/toners so that's a stinker

Thanks!!!

Hi Beth, you are so welcome :)

You are soo sweet ....I love the way you talk ...

I know it has been a while since this video but I was wondering if repositional labels would remove easier. I may try that. I guess the heat from the laser printer made the glue melt.

I wonder if you starched the fabric on the back of the fabric before adding it to the adhesive paper if it would make it easier to peel.

I wonder if you put an ice pack on the one that is pre-washed might make removal easier.

Thanks for this great video, but where do I find all the links? hugs from DK
