Quilt Qua
Helping to Expand Your Creative Expression
I want to add a photograph of several occasions to their quilt. How would I accomplish this?
By: Penny Halgren
Photo Fabric - there is photo fabric available at some quilt shops & at Joann's (four sheets run approx. $8 - 9.00). Simply follow the instructions on the package for using ready-made sheets.
If you are using your own fabric - a product called Bubble Jet (a liquid) can be used before you copy your photos. Soak the fabric for about 5 minutes, pull it out, squeeze out gently and lay it out on towel until dry.
When running the fabric through a printer (Ink Jet, NOT Laser), use regular copy paper to assist in the fabric feed. Tape the copy paper across the entire top and part way down the side of the fabric; it has to be secure (so it won't jam in the feeder).
Happy Quilting!
