Printing on fabric

Post by Subqueen » Sun Sep 05, 2010 1:39 pm

Does anyone have any recommendations for the best printer to use for printing photos on fabric? I would like to make a memory quilt for my Dad. Thanks for any input you have.

I don't know about the brand of computer but I know it usually says to be sure and use an ink jet printer. I hope you post a picture when you finish your quilt. I have thought about doing one some day.

I've used my ink jet printer with wonderful results. I used the special cloth/paper sheets from Printed Treasures. It really makes for a very meaningful quilt. Good Luck.

I use my ink jet printer. I like the linen sheets. Don't forget to heat set.

I made a quilt in 2004 using Printed Treasures and it turned out beautifully. Printed Treasures are washable. This is the only product I would use for photos on quils.
