Carman Thanks for the link. I think I'll try some of it. Sounds cheaper than fabric paper.

| I use a product called Printed Treasures and have been very happy with it.. it is fabric on sheets of paper you can put right thru your computer printer. I have made several projects with it and have been happy so far! |

I have used the Bubble Jet 2000 and have had wonderful results with it~ Won't use anything else, but this is my preference personally.
One of the best gifts to give a child/grandchild is your listening ear.

| I have a question and I feel like a dummy but because of the term "bubble jet" does that mean you have to have a bubble jet printer to use this stuff? I've often wondered that but have always been afraid to ask anyone! LOL |

| I use Bubble Jet on my HP 3 in one inkjet printer. I have had WONDERFUL results on it! I've made about 5 or 6 quilts & have washed them a few times with the pics on them. |

I have a question and I feel like a dummy but because of the term "bubble jet" does that mean you have to have a bubble jet printer to use this stuff? I've often wondered that but have always been afraid to ask anyone! LOL You can use any "brand" printer name as long as it is an INKJET printer, no laser printers. Don't be afraid to ask any questions here. The only stupid question is the ones that are never asked. I have also used the bubble jet product and like it. I've used different brand fabric sheets too. I prefer the bubble jet, as it is "cheaper" to make your own sheets versus buying pre-made. But if I was only doing a one-time project with little picture printing, I would just purchase a quality pre-made sheets to save time for myself. Happy sewing/quilting/crafting

| Another thing I have tried but wasn't real satisfied with the results is ironing freezer paper onto fabric, cut it to printer paper size and feed it (one at a time) thru my printer. It works but like I said the results weren't as good as you can get using other methods. I still use the method tho if it isn't an actual photo I want but just a certain color or print of fabric. |
