A quilt shop in a neighboring town ordered it in for me. No shipping charges and the costs were the same as online.

I've not used this but am wondering if you gals like it better than the fabric sheets you buy to print on? Do the photos stay true and not fade out with this with washings? Is it usable in ink jets? thanks for the info, I've seen it around and have thought about it but seems like a lot of work if it doesn't work better than the sheets (which are really expensive!) Lyn

I have never had a problem with fading, and it is way cheaper. I do scrapbooks out of muslin, then do a simple quilt design on them. If I had to use the fabric sheets it would cost me tons of money, this way I buy good quality muslin or some kind of 100% cotton, and freezer paper. Has saved me mucho money. Summer Summer

I used both this product and the expensive pre-made fabric sheets. I did a photo quilt, so it saved me money, eventually. If I was just going to try a small project, I wouldn't go to all of the trouble to make up my own sheets, I would purchase the GOOD fabric sheets. I purchased some cheaper fabric sheets at an office supply that sold them for the HP printers. I did a test with them, rinsing it in cold water and the picture washed out.  With the bubble jet I only had a little fading.

Thanks for the info girls! I'll have to get some and give it a try, am thinking about doing a memory quilt for each of my siblings so that would save me a ton of money!

Liz, just had to say I loved looking at your photo album. You do beautiful work. Hopefully I'll be heading up to Onaway this summer....my uncle's been real sick, and I need to go see him, and there might be a family reunion this year. I just love it up there. Haven't been since Feb '04. Allie "onward through the fog"

Allie, Thanks for the compliment. Let me know if you do come up this summer, as we'll have to arrange to meet "face to face"!
