  • Hello everyone!! Today I want to share the process I use to print images on fabric using freezer paper and my laser printer. If you are interested in the products I used in today's video...I have linked the items below as now I am an Amazon affiliate.
    Before using any printed image in a very loved quilt, make sure to TEST YOUR PRINT with the desired fabric and your printer/inks :) Not all inks are the same, and not all fabrics are the same. Put your test project through the wash and see how well it all holds up before investing time and money into a much larger project.
    If you are in the market for a new laser printer...this is the printer I use in this video:

    And this is the toner:

    Lisa, I used this technique to print color photos of my two granddaughters on fabric. I used the photos as appliqués stitched into the scenes of a cloth panel children’s story book “Baby’s Day”. I also added top stitching for texture on each page of the book. I gave it to my daughter as a gift and she loved it. She has an art background and was very impressed with the results. I want to thank you for sharing this method! I will use it often💖

    Just a hint: When peeling the freezer paper from the fabric you were concerned about not distorting the fabric. I noticed that you were peeling it on a 45° angle which is exactly on the bias of the fabric and most likely to cause distortion even when you are careful. After you begin the peeling process at the corner try going across the paper edge so that you are peeling with the lengthwise (or crosswise) grain of the fabric. This would prevent pulling against that bias grain and distorting the fabric.

    I am a printer repair technician and would have never tried this because I know there is a possibility of the printer catching on fire. ( At least that is what I have always been told.) I do know that some fabric with glue as a binder are far to viscose and will run into a laser printer when heated, ruining a printer, however I never thought to use freezer paper. It is 2: 30 AM and I am going into my computer room and print out family photos on good cotton fabric using your freezer paper method and my color laser printer. I'll call in sick tomorrow! Thank you for being so brave and experimenting! I can also print out my logo on fabric and use it on everything from aprons to hats! You are super!.

      I have been making microwave pads for holding bowls and cups while heating food or drinks in the microwave; the directions are always to use only cotton fabric, batting, and thread because polyester may start a fire in a microwave oven. I also made rice and flax pads for heating pads for sore muscles; again, the directions are to use only cotton in the microwave. Might this principle apply to use in a laser printer and should perhaps be limited to cotton fabric?

    Lisa. Thank you so much.... Prayer shawls are popular for cancer patients, but going through this journey myself i find a lap quilt is just as comforting as a shawl, if not more so. It has been my desire for some time to make some of the squares with positive, uplifting messages and incorporating them into the pattern. NOW I KNOW HOW TO DO IT!!! I can hardly wait to get started! Your tutorial is REALLY an answer to prayer.

    • @TheQuiltmakerHomestead
      @TheQuiltmakerHomestead  Před 4 lety +1

      I am so thankful that this video has been so helpful for you Sharon! Make sure to test some prints first to make sure they are colorfast before sewing into a lap quilt that may get washed down the road, as not all inks are the same. You just may have to treat your print with some BubbleJet perhaps to set the colors. I think your quilts will be a huge blessing for so many!

    Thank you so very much for this video. I made the label for my very first grandchild and long awaited grand-daughter's quilt that I made for her. So nice to be able to include everything that I thought was important on it such as my mother (the great grandma) had given me the fabric several years ago. And the quilters name as well. I was also able to include a picture of one of the main elements of the fabric in full color on the label! I used a Samsung Laser printer. Thank you so much. I only needed to watch the video three times! I'm in my 60's and was scared I would miss a point. I will be using this technique again! Thank you!

    Thank you for your very well done tutorial. I just finished printing 16 panels for a quilt my wife is doing for our granddaughter's high school graduation. As part of our experiments, we tried using cotton sateen fabric thinking that the finer thread count might produce a more well defined print - it didn't 😞, so we went with cotton muslin. We have an HP Laser Jet printer model M283cdw. I used the "Color Laser Matte 105g" setting for the paper, which seemed to produce the best print. Since the prints are all going to be in 6" square panels, I defined my own paper type of "Quilt 6.50 x 6.50" which gives us a print centered on a 6" panel with 1/4" left for the seams all around. Again, Thank You!

    Thank you so much, Lisa! This makes total sense. My husband, before his recent retirement, was a computer/printer repair technician. Many times, he would come home with toner on his clothes from a printer or copier he had been working on. We ALWAYS tried to make sure his clothes were washed in cold water, because if they were washed in warm/hot, the toner was permanently bonded to the fabric in his clothes. Believe me, I've NEVER been able to get set-in toner out of his clothes. I don't know why this never dawned on me. I love to put photos in my quilts, but have always worried about the photos fading too much in the wash. This is such a great idea! Now to decide on which laser printer to purchase. Decisions, decisions. Lol

    You have such a great teaching acumen.
    Anyway, I also sew as a hobby been doing it in the last 40 years since i bought my first sewing machine after migrating to this great country of ours from Asia. My mother was a fashion designer and dressmaker in a small rural town we lived she still used the old Singer machine with the foot paddle. LOL. I was not allowed to touch it or learn to sew except by just watching her. When I came to this country and worked as a health care professional the sewing machine was a dream that became my reality. And I self-taught myself to learn everything my mom did. Including designing. Now I want to incorporate personalized texts into my designs as gifts to family and friends. I will be making pairs of matching pillowcases, grocery bags, and throw pillow cushion covers with my friends' names and their favorite Bible verses. So I just needed to know how to transfer texts into my creation and you did me tremendous help. Thanks a million.

    Thank you for sharing your technique! I am amazed how perfect the printing on fabric is by your technique. I've seen others but with the purchase of labels, print mirror immage, and then iron on, etc. I need an inexpensive way. And then I found your video!!! I'm attempting this to make small labels for some of my sewing crafts. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻. Much appreciation!

      I don’t know if reusing the paper for printing is worth the risk of ink transfer. Lisa’s paper had residual in ghosted onto the paper from the ink. If using white or light fabric could it absorb some of that transfer onto the next printing?

      @ David & Ron Brothers Q: how did you get on? I’m following Lisa’s great instructions but I am finding issues when ironing the print. I printed on cotton and muslin and Im using a HP Laser jet Printer with black toner...the prints come out perfect however I’ve found when ironing the print the next day the ink leaves an impression on whatever I’m laying the fabric on, I’ve tried ironing from the front too and ink comes off onto the iron. :( any idea what am Im doing wrong?

      awe Nina, thank you so much! Do try some test prints, checking the colorfastness of your inks before using your prints in a project...all inks are different. If they wash out or fade, there are tons of ways to make them permanent so don't give up! I'm so glad my videos are helpful, and thank you so much for the lovely feedback!

      So glad you found this video helpful! One thing to keep in mind....usually the store bought fabric printing sheets have been treated so that the ink from your printer is colorfasted. If using this method from this video....you may want to do some test prints to check your printer inks before incorporating into a project that will be washed :)
