I am so excited I found you! I am going to decorate a tablecloth from the books that we have read for my homeschool kids' book club. I am planning on ironing the books on first and then secure with a hand stitch. I just printed out Felicity and it worked! Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!! I want to hug you!
I did that years ago with both a photo of my grandmother in her kitchen and her mincemeat pie recipe. I put it on an apron for my mother. She loved it. The image transfer paper that I used was a major pain. I’m looking forward to trying this method!
Oh my goodness, this is incredible! I was trying to order a label on Etsy for $15.00 and it would not ship on time for my gift quilt. I watched your video 3 hours ago and one trip for the freezer paper and my label is done and attached!!! Thank you so much!
❤ I am 75 years “young “ and work on miniatures. Age does not permit me to do some finer detail work. This will allow me to do some things I thought out of reach before. Excellent teaching methods. Thank you very much for the help!
@@marieschumacher6410 custom printed fabric is much more affordable. I do upholstery and recently I printed faux leather and marine vinyl. It’s amazing.
Lisa, I am a newbie making quilts for my grand nieces and nephews after 39 years of teaching. I am now 81 years of age. You are one of my most favorite teachers. I love your sense of adventure and creativity. I used your method of creating a label for a washable quilt. It was perfect. Thank you.
I want to thank you for causing my sleep deprivation - way to many great ideas to use this technique wilth for me to sleep. Its been 3 days now since I first watched the video. Let the fun and creativity begin lol.
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!.
Kate Palombo catching on fire!!!!! Wow.....NOW I stop and think hahahaaa......youre right, for sure I wouldn't put any product with adhesive through my laser printer.....however freezer paper is activated with heat on fabric so I gave it a go lol. Let me know how your labels turn out, and enjoy your "sick" day off from work hehe
Kate Palombo it's been 3 weeks, PLEASE let us know how the printing went with your color laser printer. I just bought a new brother one. I don't think is try it out while still under warranty, but maybe later down the road. May ingest in a inexpensive b/w one though.
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.
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!
I have been in cancer treatments for one year (including chemo & radiation). I made a lap quilt with minky fabric. It brings me comfort. I hope you are doing well. 😃
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💖
I have looked for a year on how to print on fabric. I knew there had to be a way. Finally after a year I have found you. Absolutely PERFECT explain and video. I tried it today and worked PERFEFCT. I'm so excited. I paint on fabric which turnes our beautiful. Thank you so much helping me. Have a great day.
Just...WOW! My mind is blown! I just saw freezer paper in the store today for the first time, and had NO IDEA that it could do this. Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I am only a few minutes in to your tutorial and I have to say this is one of the most detailed and thorough tutorials I have seen. I wanted to thank you for the time you spent and for the generosity in sharing with all of us..
I just barely go to the intro and thought wow I love this lady and how she looks into the camera and makes you feel like she is talking right to you! love your compliment to her.
I realize you posted this quite a few years ago - but I'm just trying it out now - and it worked great!! Thanks for sharing this - great step by step instructions. Much appreciated!!
The last time I did pictures to fabrics was in the 90's and I am so impressed with the advancement of technology how simple this is. I cannot wait to start my project.
Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. I was just about to buy some (very expensive) special paper online to print quilt labels, when I noticed someone in the comments mentioning freezer paper. I searched online for the technique and your video came up. I already have a roll of freezer paper so I'm all set. Thank you again for taking the time to show us how it's done.
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.
Also, I have found that using one of my quilt rulers helps as I’m peeling. I lay the ruler flat on the fabric and slide it along next to the paper as I peel.
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!
So happy to find you and your wonderful tutorial. I nearly spent $$$ on specialty printable fabric "paper" but waited for a coupon... now all I have to do is get the freezer paper and begin my Christmas projects. Thank you for speaking so clearly and concisely, to the point, and for the supporting demo. Thank you again for sharing. Can't wait to get started.
Just make sure to check your prints for colorfasting before using in a project that will be washed :) All inks/printers are different. Have lots of fun!!
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. A whole new world of creative ideas has opened up for me. You helped make that happen!!!
Thank you so very much Taz, I appreciate the amazing feedback a lot! I think adding personalized text to your projects is a WONDERFUL way to customize, and I think you are going to love it!
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! I have watched several fabric printing videos and no one had explained the differences between the supplies, techniques, and printers until yours! 😊
Wonderful. I paint on fabric, mostly on silk, but also on cotton and synthetic. Always wanted to scale my job, and this is an awesome technic to begin and try. Thanks a lot....from Brazil 🇧🇷
Like so many others, I would like to thank you so much Lisa for this clip which opens up so many creative possibilities. So easy and so inexpensive but really rewarding.
I've used this technique to make quilt labels for a few years now, and they haven't washed out yet! It's a great way to add a personal touch. I've also used freezer paper as a stencil, for painting on fabric, and heat setting it (with a paper towel over the paint when you first heat set it), and it works out beautifully! You did a great job with this tutorial!
Lisa, This was AMAZING. How much fun to make, my labels turned out perfect. Thank you for sharing this. I made so many tags in just a little while :-) . Now I am making to gift to my sister who loves to sew and adds a nice tag to her things. I really appreciate all your precise and careful instructions step by step. God Bless You.
I love this and not only is it softer than the photo paper at our craft stores, its looks like it's much easier to peel the paper backing off!!! I have struggled so much with that on my store bought photo papers. Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
I went out and got me some freezer paper right away and this worked so fabulously! I can now personalize coordinate each of my quilt labels with each quilt. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!🎉
Brilliant!!! I have started using this transfer method for hand embroidery patterns. There is no fading or fighting with fabric taped to the window, etc. thank you so much for the tutorial.
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
I just tried your method. I had to adjust my iron temp to muc lower setting to avoid the "bubbles" you talk about in your video. I am super excited. I can now play around with hand written recipes and other treasures using my laser jet printer. Thank you so very much!!!
This is the best tutorial I saw. She explains a couple of steps, like cutting bonded freezer paper and fabric after fusing and using the manual load for the bonded paper/fabric into the printer. This made a big difference in my HP 7740. Many thanks
That's awesome. I had no idea you could do this with laser or freezer paper. It's brilliant, and the type setting is amazing. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!!
I have used this method quite a few times since watching your video.and printed out enough blocks to make 2 large quilts. So far I have not had any complaints. Thank you so much. It has been more economical this way.
Best video I have ever seen! I cannot wait to try this. I really want to make prayer pockets with the poem on fabric as the backing of the pocket square. This will be a huge win to be able to do my own and not limited to what's on the market. Hope that made sense thank you so much for a very clever technique and clear instructions. Outstanding.
Just tried your method, although I used my Kodak Verite Craft printer which is an inkjet. It worked great, so am very happy to have tried your method of using freezer paper as the backing for fabric in a printer. Wowser!
Thank you. Really appreciate your video. I find it really helpful to use a lint roller over the fabric before feeding it into the printer. Also the freezer paper is reusable many times and its cut to the right size 😊
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?
Thank you so much for your mama’s (wisdom). I am so grateful to have found you ad your method. I am a bag maker and was trying to find ways of making a label for my products. I really appreciate your kindness and very educational tutorial. Mahalo.
Lol 😆 I think I was the first person that invented this back in 1984. Home computers were nearly unheard of. There was no internet. The only operating system was DOS (no Windows). Printers printed in Black only. Being a compulsive crafter and seamstress, and also a computer nerd, it was a given that I would quickly figure out how to print on fabric. 😋
Tina Sparks lol 😆 Yes! I rarely find any hacks on Pinterest that I don’t already know. Everything old is new again when 20-somethings “invent” it. That’s ok, tho... except for the feeling that I think we’re just getting old! Haha
This helps me a lot. I was in the middle of searching where I can get my business name printed on a fabric tag then I saw this. Supper easy and inexpensive. Thank you! ❤️
Thank you so much. Just exactly what I've wanted to print simple black texture lines on plain fabrics. This is for use on small gifts and craft items, and will be so helpful. Thinking I may print some of my grandma's hand-written recipes onto fabric for an apron.
I've really enjoyed the tutorial. I have been sewing garments for years. Now retired, my plan is to venture into quilting as an addition to preserving my family ancestry. Thanks for the inspiration.
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!
Really happy I found you on here! I have subscribed. I am at a point in my life, retired, where I can learn the things I haven't had time to. Looking forward to exploring your videos.
You are such a good teacher! I've been wanting to use printed fabric for labels but only have a laser printer. Thanks so much for showing me it can be done.
Thanks for all the description in the beginning. I have never tried printing on fabric so needed to know all this. Have never quilted either but doing memory quilts from my mother’s things for the family I love that sewing machine clock behind you too!
Augh, I'm sure your family will simply treasure the quilts you are making for them, that is so special! I'm glad this video was helpful, sometimes I am long winded and talk a lot, but my videos are really geared to someone like you who has never done this before or just starting out, and I like to cover all the things I myself would want to know hahahaa. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this!!! I did it last night and had no problems! I'm so excited that I can make my own custom personal quilt labels now!! Never thought it could be so easy , and so much cheaper than buying 2 sheets for $10
I bought some white muslin from my local quilt shop. After printing it , I folded all sides under about a 1/4" and sewed all around the edges. Then used featherlite heat and bond and put it on my quilt , hand stitched around the edges. No frraying :)
You are so brilliant. I did something (don’t remember what) with freezer paper/ printer and I was afraid I was going to get it caught in my printer. But it went thru ok. I didn’t trim it good and had a string on the fabric. Thanks for explaining so well.
@ 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?
Whoo hoo! Just tried this tonight and I love it! I printed the first initial of my grandkids on the fabric so I can attempt to use the sewing machine to embroider . . .
Just purchased my machine and while I am exploring I came across your Video Lisa for Printing on Fabric using Freezer Paper, what a GREAT TUTORIAL and it will be a definite trial for me after all Christmas is coming in 5 months!! Thank you so much for sharing this tut and your download!
Oh I love this. What a great tutorial - timing and instructions are so well done. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and sharing it with all of us.
This is literally a lifesaver! I have struggled with the label making packages getting old and then the paper won’t come off. This will solve my problem!!!! 💛🤗🎈. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I wanted to attach the written history of my grandmother’s quilt for future generations. I only have a laser printer so this was perfect. Well explained and best of all it worked! I wish I could attach a picture.
It totally just worked!! Because I don't trust me, I picked up an off white fat quarter of fabric from walmart and freezer paper and put it through my inkjet (after the fact I found where my manual feeder-er is) and ran a test sheet through after following your instructions to press it onto the fabric...I do have a laser jet that's only black ink that I'll try another time for my labels/tags...thank youuuuu! EDIT...probably because I used inkjet and not laserjet, my ink ran when I sprayed it but it's fine for me because my projects wont require laundering...I'll update when I try it out on my other printer but overall I LOVE THIS!!!
What a fantastic tutorial. I was scrolling through videos and the title of yours caught my eye. I was intrigued by the idea of printing on fabric (I didn't know you could do that with a home printer) and I was curious as to what you were going to do with the freezer paper. I love that I've learned something new! Your tutorial is extremely well done. I completely appreciate your ability to speak well (i.e. your tone, your rate of speech & your ability to speak smoothly and without stammering or using filler words such as and, umm, like etc). This is definitely the most well done tutorial I have watched in a very long time. While I don't quilt, I am subscribing to your channel because I thoroughly enjoyed learning from you today. Thank you for the very interesting video. Also, I too had noted while watching your video that you have nice hands 😁
This looks awesome! I’m so excited to give this method a try with my printer. I am also a bit of a rebel; I love experimenting and figuring out how to do something different. I’m going to try printing on some knit fabric that will become the bodice of dresses for my granddaughters. Thanks for the inspiration 😊
It worked wonderfully! I used MS Word to create my own label and printed it to add to a quilt I gave my granddaughter. Thank you so much for the video!
I remember watching this video years ago when I had an inkjet printer, the results were good. Now I have a laser printer and just wanted a refesher because I haven't done this in years and it was your video that I wanted to watch, before I attempted it again. Excellent video by the way, I have also subscribed and will be watching your other videos / tutorials. ps. I'm from the UK so you've gone international, so woo hoo!!! 02-05-24.
You are a genius! I have been too afraid to use my laser printer for fear of ruining my printer (don't ask, horror story in some random chat room). I had nothing to fear. I have printed 5 pieces already and they are perfect. Depending on your specific settings, I was able to print in grey scale as well as regular, both versions are perfect. I cannot thank you enough! I have a B&W laser, not color. The black ink cartridges are expensive ($70 for high yield). It would have to be an unbelievably super special project for me to buy color cartridges. You can buy color laser printers for well under $300, but by the time you buy the color cartridges (the ones that come with the machines are basically samples and do not last very long), you're investing about $75 per color cartridge and you need 4 of them, plus $70 for the black, and that's a whopping $370, eeek!
I'm so glad you found this useful, and gave it a try!! From my research although pricey for toner, the cartridge is suppose to be cheaper per print vs. Inkjet....from what I read anyways. Good info on the pricing for color....I may just stick to my black printer haahaaa...but I have some AWESOME ideas for adding color.......
Print in color book and use Crayola permanent fabric markers. I made book bags for my library group to give away and we used those markers to add the text we wanted. Worked great.
You should be able to take the cartridges into any office supply store that offers to refill them for you. The benefit of Lazer over inkjet is amazing lol I haven't made the switch yet. Refilling the cartridges (they use a syringe type deal) is a whole lot cheaper than buying new every time.
Oh, btw I found on Amazon the entire cartridge set for the specific printer she uses for $79.99 and that includes colors and black inks.

Thank you for a very clear and informative tutorial. I have thought about doing this for such a long time but never got around to it, you know how it is when you are engrossed in your sewing 😀. I came across you by accident but am now a subscriber and will be checking out your other tutorials, love your style and anything to do with sewing and quilting. The mug rug is gorgeous xx
I can't wait to try this out. My Nephew and his wife are expecting twin boys in a few months and this will be a perfect way for me to add their names in a beautiful font. Love your videos and your relatable style. keep on keepin on!!
Jennifer Farsh hahaaa right??? I've only come across just a few websites or videos using a laser printer.........we are living on the edge! Bwahahaaaaa :)
I followed your tutorial to the letter and IT WORKS!! I'm so excited that I've finally found a solution for my art and images! I'm in the middle of testing different fabrics and washing them. Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial! Although I am not a quilter I do make a living by selling at markets. I'm SUPER excited. This will save me loads of $$!
OMG! LISA! I just printed my dog club's logo on a white fabric following your tutorial... I am IMPRESSED how it came out! I even sprayed the fabric to test to see if the toner would smear and it didn't! I wish I could post a photo of it! Thank you Thank you!
After searching for a very, very long time, I came across your tutorial with clear and step by step instructions. I was sceptical at first, but made my first print today and it work beautifully! Thank you for the great video, because now the possibilities are endless! ❤👍
This is what I have been looking for! I have watched dozens of clips over the last couple for weeks (data to use) as I have been learning embroidery (started at the beginning of 2021) and recently trying applique. I've been reworking old t-shirts and shirts with some of my interests (motor racing and golf). Anyway, thank you. I have not made a comment before on so this is something new for me (had to register open an account) but to echo alot of previous comments of your tutorial, a big thank you for sharing your wisdom. Stay safe. K.
I personally think the tiny bit of waste is worth having all edges firmly "glued" to the paper and no stray threads coming off in the printer or straying onto the ink.
@@SharoninKentucky Yes, and 18 divided by 2 is nine, which is plenty for an 8.5" sheet. It IS larger, with a lot less waste. She would cut a little over 11" wide, then have enough for two instead of cutting off all that bottom part.
Years ago one of my sis-in-laws sent a square of muslin for each grandchild to each family with the instructions for each kid to paint w/paint, fabric pens a design and sign it. When all were returned to her she made a grandkids quilt for my in-laws 50th anniversary. This would be perfect for that, by scanning in drawings by the kids and scanning them into the computer.
What is a #4 iron setting? For synthetic, cotton, silk? What fabric did you use? I'm assuming I would need to use a natural fabric, cotton being the best?
I am so excited I found you! I am going to decorate a tablecloth from the books that we have read for my homeschool kids' book club. I am planning on ironing the books on first and then secure with a hand stitch. I just printed out Felicity and it worked! Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!! I want to hug you!
Wouldn't that be beautiful to take your mothers and grandmother’s hand written recipes and put them to cloth. ❤️
What a wonderful idea !
I did that years ago with both a photo of my grandmother in her kitchen and her mincemeat pie recipe. I put it on an apron for my mother. She loved it. The image transfer paper that I used was a major pain. I’m looking forward to trying this method!
Oh my goodness, this is incredible! I was trying to order a label on Etsy for $15.00 and it would not ship on time for my gift quilt. I watched your video 3 hours ago and one trip for the freezer paper and my label is done and attached!!! Thank you so much!
❤ I am 75 years “young “ and work on miniatures. Age does not permit me to do some finer detail work. This will allow me to do some things I thought out of reach before. Excellent teaching methods. Thank you very much for the help!
@@marieschumacher6410 custom printed fabric is much more affordable. I do upholstery and recently I printed faux leather and marine vinyl. It’s amazing.
Lisa, I am a newbie making quilts for my grand nieces and nephews after 39 years of teaching. I am now 81 years of age. You are one of my most favorite teachers. I love your sense of adventure and creativity. I used your method of creating a label for a washable quilt. It was perfect. Thank you.
I want to thank you for causing my sleep deprivation - way to many great ideas to use this technique wilth for me to sleep. Its been 3 days now since I first watched the video. Let the fun and creativity begin lol.
so I'm not the only one who looses sleep due to the endless ideas floating through my head
This is so painfully ADHD and relatable aaah
😂💗💨
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!.
Kate Palombo catching on fire!!!!! Wow.....NOW I stop and think hahahaaa......youre right, for sure I wouldn't put any product with adhesive through my laser printer.....however freezer paper is activated with heat on fabric so I gave it a go lol. Let me know how your labels turn out, and enjoy your "sick" day off from work hehe
Kate Palombo it's been 3 weeks, PLEASE let us know how the printing went with your color laser printer. I just bought a new brother one. I don't think is try it out while still under warranty, but maybe later down the road. May ingest in a inexpensive b/w one though.
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?
Did you create your own logo or pay for someone to do it for you?
Shirley johnson I was thinking of using muslin
This actually gives me a great idea for a memorial project using my mother's and grandmother's recipes.
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.

With an ink jet printer? If so, how good you make the ink permanent?
I have looked for a year on how to print on fabric. I knew there had to be a way. Finally after a year I have found you. Absolutely PERFECT explain and video. I tried it today and worked PERFEFCT. I'm so excited. I paint on fabric which turnes our beautiful. Thank you so much helping me. Have a great day.
Wow, you ain't on fabric? Can you recommend any pens? I want to do a project with my son. Thx
I want to do a project with my son, and would like to color the results with fabric pens, any recommendations?
Just...WOW! My mind is blown! I just saw freezer paper in the store today for the first time, and had NO IDEA that it could do this. Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Hello how're you doing hope you and your family are safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
I am only a few minutes in to your tutorial and I have to say this is one of the most detailed and thorough tutorials I have seen.
I wanted to thank you for the time you spent and for the generosity in sharing with all of us..
this makes me feel awesome, thank you for your appreciation :)
I just barely go to the intro and thought wow I love this lady and how she looks into the camera and makes you feel like she is talking right to you!
love your compliment to her.
My sentiments exactly. In addition, you have lovely hands!
Kathleen Kelly wow, thanks!!
Cool thankyou
I realize you posted this quite a few years ago - but I'm just trying it out now - and it worked great!! Thanks for sharing this - great step by step instructions. Much appreciated!!
The last time I did pictures to fabrics was in the 90's and I am so impressed with the advancement of technology how simple this is. I cannot wait to start my project.
thanks for watching Kathy, and I hope you have fun creating!!
Hello how're you doing hope you and your family are safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. I was just about to buy some (very expensive) special paper online to print quilt labels, when I noticed someone in the comments mentioning freezer paper. I searched online for the technique and your video came up. I already have a roll of freezer paper so I'm all set. Thank you again for taking the time to show us how it's done.
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.
My thought as well!
Thanks!
Really, just ironing it again and peeling it will come up easily
Also, I have found that using one of my quilt rulers helps as I’m peeling. I lay the ruler flat on the fabric and slide it along next to the paper as I peel.
@@pamelapetrovits5617 Really, just apply more heat with the iron and it lifts off effortlessly, think about it, lol.
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!
So happy to find you and your wonderful tutorial. I nearly spent $$$ on specialty printable fabric "paper" but waited for a coupon... now all I have to do is get the freezer paper and begin my Christmas projects. Thank you for speaking so clearly and concisely, to the point, and for the supporting demo. Thank you again for sharing. Can't wait to get started.
Just make sure to check your prints for colorfasting before using in a project that will be washed :) All inks/printers are different. Have lots of fun!!
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.
A whole new world of creative ideas has opened up for me. You helped make that happen!!!
Thank you so very much Taz, I appreciate the amazing feedback a lot! I think adding personalized text to your projects is a WONDERFUL way to customize, and I think you are going to love it!
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead I will. What else are you teaching? Im sure you have a lot of ideas like this?
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!
this was awesome news!! I do the same thing.....re-watch videos so that I don't miss a single thing :) Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I have watched several fabric printing videos and no one had explained the differences between the supplies, techniques, and printers until yours! 😊
You are so welcome!
Wonderful. I paint on fabric, mostly on silk, but also on cotton and synthetic. Always wanted to scale my job, and this is an awesome technic to begin and try. Thanks a lot....from Brazil 🇧🇷
This method for printing on fabric is brilliant and awesome. Thank you so much for sharing!
Like so many others, I would like to thank you so much Lisa for this clip which opens up so many creative possibilities. So easy and so inexpensive but really rewarding.
Thank you for the awesome feedback!
Thank you for sharing this video
I've used this technique to make quilt labels for a few years now, and they haven't washed out yet! It's a great way to add a personal touch. I've also used freezer paper as a stencil, for painting on fabric, and heat setting it (with a paper towel over the paint when you first heat set it), and it works out beautifully! You did a great job with this tutorial!
thank you so much!!! I appreciate the feedback, and also hearing of all the ways you use the freezer paper :)
Stephanie Sparks, reference for using freezer paper as a stencil?
Now I can have any fabric design for my Barbie dolls! Yess!!
Lisa, This was AMAZING. How much fun to make, my labels turned out perfect. Thank you for sharing this. I made so many tags in just a little while :-) . Now I am making to gift to my sister who loves to sew and adds a nice tag to her things. I really appreciate all your precise and careful instructions step by step. God Bless You.
You are so welcome! I'm so glad this video was helpful for you Yayi!
I love this and not only is it softer than the photo paper at our craft stores, its looks like it's much easier to peel the paper backing off!!! I have struggled so much with that on my store bought photo papers. Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
I agree Mary, it is a lot softer in the end :) Thank you sooo much for watching!
I went out and got me some freezer paper right away and this worked so fabulously! I can now personalize coordinate each of my quilt labels with each quilt. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!🎉
Oh my goodness! Can’t thank you enough. Going to give this a try tomorrow. I sew a lot for charity and this will save me a lot of money.
Ive just watched several videos on printing on fabric and yours is the BEST!!!! thankyou!!!
Wow, thank you!
i was happy to read this comment knowing I found the right video first 😅
Brilliant!!! I have started using this transfer method for hand embroidery patterns. There is no fading or fighting with fabric taped to the window, etc. thank you so much for the tutorial.
That's a great idea!
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
Denese Swackhamer I would love to get a color laser printer one day :) thanks for watching, keep me updated on which printer you choose!!
I just tried your method. I had to adjust my iron temp to muc lower setting to avoid the "bubbles" you talk about in your video. I am super excited. I can now play around with hand written recipes and other treasures using my laser jet printer. Thank you so very much!!!
This is the best tutorial I saw. She explains a couple of steps, like cutting bonded freezer paper and fabric after fusing and using the manual load for the bonded paper/fabric into the printer. This made a big difference in my HP 7740. Many thanks
Thank you so much. I’m not a quilter, but I am a mixed media artist and this will come in very handy and inexpensive. God bless you! 💕💕💕
you are right, I think this would work FANTASTIC in all kinds of mixed media types of projects!
Me too!!!!
That's awesome. I had no idea you could do this with laser or freezer paper. It's brilliant, and the type setting is amazing. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!!
I tried this tonight and was so excited with how it turned out! Now I have a simple way of adding a label to my quilts. ☺️❤️
That's so awesome Sandy! Thanks for watching :)
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
I have used this method quite a few times since watching your video.and printed out enough blocks to make 2 large quilts. So far I have not had any complaints. Thank you so much. It has been more economical this way.
Wow you've been so busy!!! Isn't it fun? I love all of the creative possibilities with this method :)
Best video I have ever seen! I cannot wait to try this. I really want to make prayer pockets with the poem on fabric as the backing of the pocket square. This will be a huge win to be able to do my own and not limited to what's on the market. Hope that made sense thank you so much for a very clever technique and clear instructions. Outstanding.
@joyfulhope4474 thank you so much!
Just tried your method, although I used my Kodak Verite Craft printer which is an inkjet. It worked great, so am very happy to have tried your method of using freezer paper as the backing for fabric in a printer. Wowser!
When you wash the fabric, does it blot?
Thank you. Really appreciate your video. I find it really helpful to use a lint roller over the fabric before feeding it into the printer. Also the freezer paper is reusable many times and its cut to the right size 😊
what a great tip to pass on, using the lint roller, thank you so much!
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?
@@mgs783 Actually I have reused the freezer paper for subsequent prints and had no issues with color transfer from prior print.
That's genius! I can just imagine how many different things a person could do if that were possible... Wow. Thank you so much and God bless you!
Thank you so much for your mama’s (wisdom). I am so grateful to have found you ad your method. I am a bag maker and was trying to find ways of making a label for my products. I really appreciate your kindness and very educational tutorial. Mahalo.
unbelievable!!! you've opened up another huge world of projects!!!!! Thank you! Who knew you could use Freezer paper thus? You Did!!!
thanks so much Julie! Have fun creating :)
Lol 😆
I think I was the first person that invented this back in 1984.
Home computers were nearly unheard of. There was no internet. The only operating system was DOS (no Windows). Printers printed in Black only.
Being a compulsive crafter and seamstress, and also a computer nerd, it was a given that I would quickly figure out how to print on fabric. 😋
Tina Sparks lol 😆 Yes! I rarely find any hacks on Pinterest that I don’t already know. Everything old is new again when 20-somethings “invent” it. That’s ok, tho... except for the feeling that I think we’re just getting old! Haha
Tina Sparks I just saw your post. I could have written it! You sound exactly like me!
This helps me a lot. I was in the middle of searching where I can get my business name printed on a fabric tag then I saw this. Supper easy and inexpensive. Thank you! ❤️
Thank you so much. Just exactly what I've wanted to print simple black texture lines on plain fabrics. This is for use on small gifts and craft items, and will be so helpful. Thinking I may print some of my grandma's hand-written recipes onto fabric for an apron.
aweeee....I would love to see your apron if you do this!!! How special that would be
Great idea!!
Cat Quilter great idea, thank you.
I've really enjoyed the tutorial. I have been sewing garments for years. Now retired, my plan is to venture into quilting as an addition to preserving my family ancestry. Thanks for the inspiration.
You are so welcome!
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!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! I’m looking forward to using this method for photos I’ll be using in my next memory quilt. But first, practice, practice,practice!
I love that you said practice, practice, practice :) It makes all the difference :)
Hello how're you doing hope you and your family are safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
Really happy I found you on here! I have subscribed. I am at a point in my life, retired, where I can learn the things I haven't had time to. Looking forward to exploring your videos.
Sounds like an exciting time for you!! So glad you have joined along Donna, always here to help :)
Hello how're you doing hope you and your family are safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
Fabulously done! I've always wanted to create my own fabric designs & this was the best way to obtain that. Great job!
thanks for watching!
You are such a good teacher! I've been wanting to use printed fabric for labels but only have a laser printer. Thanks so much for showing me it can be done.
Thanks for all the description in the beginning. I have never tried printing on fabric so needed to know all this. Have never quilted either but doing memory quilts from my mother’s things for the family I love that sewing machine clock behind you too!
Augh, I'm sure your family will simply treasure the quilts you are making for them, that is so special! I'm glad this video was helpful, sometimes I am long winded and talk a lot, but my videos are really geared to someone like you who has never done this before or just starting out, and I like to cover all the things I myself would want to know hahahaa. Thanks for watching!
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
Gonna make something special for my granddaughter, thank you! Outstanding presentation!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing this!!! I did it last night and had no problems! I'm so excited that I can make my own custom personal quilt labels now!! Never thought it could be so easy , and so much cheaper than buying 2 sheets for $10
Windy Stroud you go girl!!! Save that money, and put your own unique touch on your quilting projects!!! ♡
Windy Stroud what fabric are you using for your labels and how do you prevent the edges from fraying?
I bought some white muslin from my local quilt shop. After printing it , I folded all sides under about a 1/4" and sewed all around the edges. Then used featherlite heat and bond and put it on my quilt , hand stitched around the edges. No frraying :)
Windy Stroud
Windy Stroud , did you type out your wording or gand write and scan then print on your fabric?
You blow me away with all your information. Thank you, Lisa!
you made the whole process look doable! soooo i tried it! wow! my first try came out
great! love it! love it! thanks!
You are so brilliant. I did something (don’t remember what) with freezer paper/ printer and I was afraid I was going to get it caught in my printer. But it went thru ok. I didn’t trim it good and had a string on the fabric.
Thanks for explaining so well.
Lisa, this is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this with us 💕
Wow! I have avoided so many ideas for printing on fabric because I only have a laser printer!! Trying this asap!
@ 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?
when you go to remove the freezer paper try warming the paper a little not too hot will help release the freezer paper.
Whoo hoo! Just tried this tonight and I love it! I printed the first initial of my grandkids on the fabric so I can attempt to use the sewing machine to embroider . . .
Just purchased my machine and while I am exploring I came across your Video Lisa for Printing on Fabric using Freezer Paper, what a GREAT TUTORIAL and it will be a definite trial for me after all Christmas is coming in 5 months!! Thank you so much for sharing this tut and your download!
Thank you so much for watching my video Carole, and I can't believe Christmas is only 5 months away....boy do I need to get busy hahaha!!!
Oh I love this. What a great tutorial - timing and instructions are so well done. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and sharing it with all of us.
You are so welcome!
Omg this is such cool tip!!! This opened up a whooooole new world for my crafting!!! Thank you for posting this!!!
phyllis miller enjoy and have fun creating!!
This is literally a lifesaver! I have struggled with the label making packages getting old and then the paper won’t come off. This will solve my problem!!!! 💛🤗🎈. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much! I wanted to attach the written history of my grandmother’s quilt for future generations. I only have a laser printer so this was perfect. Well explained and best of all it worked! I wish I could attach a picture.
Thanks, Lisa. You've demystified printing on to fabric with a laser printer. Hadn't realised I could do it. Briliant.
The best tutorial I have seen! My brain is now overload! Thank you so much for sharing this! Good video!
Rina van den Heever thanks for watching :)
This is so cool, I've been wanting to make a personalized quilt but wasn't sure how I wanted to do it but this is it, thanks so much.
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
What type fabric were you using to print on? Was it a basic cotton fabric? This was a great tutorial. You did a very good job! Thanks for sharing.
It totally just worked!! Because I don't trust me, I picked up an off white fat quarter of fabric from walmart and freezer paper and put it through my inkjet (after the fact I found where my manual feeder-er is) and ran a test sheet through after following your instructions to press it onto the fabric...I do have a laser jet that's only black ink that I'll try another time for my labels/tags...thank youuuuu!
EDIT...probably because I used inkjet and not laserjet, my ink ran when I sprayed it but it's fine for me because my projects wont require laundering...I'll update when I try it out on my other printer but overall I LOVE THIS!!!
Just found your channel and I must say you are such a joy to listen to and learn from. Thank you.
What a fantastic tutorial.
I was scrolling through videos and the title of yours caught my eye.
I was intrigued by the idea of printing on fabric (I didn't know you could do that with a home printer) and I was curious as to what you were going to do with the freezer paper.
I love that I've learned something new!
Your tutorial is extremely well done. I completely appreciate your ability to speak well (i.e. your tone, your rate of speech & your ability to speak smoothly and without stammering or using filler words such as and, umm, like etc).
This is definitely the most well done tutorial I have watched in a very long time.
While I don't quilt, I am subscribing to your channel because I thoroughly enjoyed learning from you today.
Thank you for the very interesting video. Also, I too had noted while watching your video that you have nice hands 😁
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
This looks awesome! I’m so excited to give this method a try with my printer. I am also a bit of a rebel; I love experimenting and figuring out how to do something different. I’m going to try printing on some knit fabric that will become the bodice of dresses for my granddaughters. Thanks for the inspiration 😊
You are so welcome Lanette, I love the idea that you shared!
Great idea
Thank you for showing how to print on material. ❤️ 💛 💚 💙 💜 I have so many ideas and projects! Where do I start?🙄 LOL!! 😄
Joyous I know the exact feeling hahaha :)
It worked wonderfully! I used MS Word to create my own label and printed it to add to a quilt I gave my granddaughter. Thank you so much for the video!
I'm so glad you were able to use the video and make your own custom label Beth!!! Thanks for watching :)
I remember watching this video years ago when I had an inkjet printer, the results were good. Now I have a laser printer and just wanted a refesher because I haven't done this in years and it was your video that I wanted to watch, before I attempted it again. Excellent video by the way, I have also subscribed and will be watching your other videos / tutorials. ps. I'm from the UK so you've gone international, so woo hoo!!! 02-05-24.
You are a genius! I have been too afraid to use my laser printer for fear of ruining my printer (don't ask, horror story in some random chat room). I had nothing to fear. I have printed 5 pieces already and they are perfect. Depending on your specific settings, I was able to print in grey scale as well as regular, both versions are perfect. I cannot thank you enough! I have a B&W laser, not color. The black ink cartridges are expensive ($70 for high yield). It would have to be an unbelievably super special project for me to buy color cartridges. You can buy color laser printers for well under $300, but by the time you buy the color cartridges (the ones that come with the machines are basically samples and do not last very long), you're investing about $75 per color cartridge and you need 4 of them, plus $70 for the black, and that's a whopping $370, eeek!
I'm so glad you found this useful, and gave it a try!! From my research although pricey for toner, the cartridge is suppose to be cheaper per print vs. Inkjet....from what I read anyways. Good info on the pricing for color....I may just stick to my black printer haahaaa...but I have some AWESOME ideas for adding color.......
Print in color book and use Crayola permanent fabric markers. I made book bags for my library group to give away and we used those markers to add the text we wanted. Worked great.
Beatrice Hall could you further explain what you mean by " Print in Color Books". Thanks
You should be able to take the cartridges into any office supply store that offers to refill them for you. The benefit of Lazer over inkjet is amazing lol I haven't made the switch yet.
Refilling the cartridges (they use a syringe type deal) is a whole lot cheaper than buying new every time.
Oh, btw I found on Amazon the entire cartridge set for the specific printer she uses for $79.99 and that includes colors and black inks.

Thank you, Lisa. I can't wait to try this. I have wanted to make a family tree and put names on the leaves for family members. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Try heating your iron a bit and run it across your paper side after printing to "loosen" the fabric when removing the paper..
You are right, the heat from the iron makes it come off easier :)

You rock!! This is amazing. Thank you for the tutorial.
Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
After searching for a very, very long time, I came across your tutorial with clear and step by step instructions. I was sceptical at first, but made my first print today and it work beautifully! Thank you for the great video, because now the possibilities are endless! ❤👍
Thank you for the awesome feedback Karen....let the creativity begin! :)
Hello how're you doing hope you and your family are safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
This is what I have been looking for! I have watched dozens of clips over the last couple for weeks (data to use) as I have been learning embroidery (started at the beginning of 2021) and recently trying applique. I've been reworking old t-shirts and shirts with some of my interests (motor racing and golf). Anyway, thank you.
I have not made a comment before on so this is something new for me (had to register open an account) but to echo alot of previous comments of your tutorial, a big thank you for sharing your wisdom. Stay safe. K.
Thank you so much!
Since freezer paper is 18" wide, why don't you cut 1 11" piece and then cut it in half to create 2 sheets with no waste?
they way you mentioned is definitely smarter way to cut the sheets! Hahaha.....
I personally think the tiny bit of waste is worth having all edges firmly "glued" to the paper and no stray threads coming off in the printer or straying onto the ink.
@@Sharlene12866 But if it's cut to 9", you already have extra to cut off since letter size is 8.5"
She said it needed to be larger at first then cut to paper size.
@@SharoninKentucky Yes, and 18 divided by 2 is nine, which is plenty for an 8.5" sheet. It IS larger, with a lot less waste. She would cut a little over 11" wide, then have enough for two instead of cutting off all that bottom part.
This would be awesome to have kids draw a picture can them into the computer and print them on paper and make a quilt for the teacher.
Baby quilt w/their birth certificate or birth announcement. Wedding announcement, invitation, etc.
Years ago one of my sis-in-laws sent a square of muslin for each grandchild to each family with the instructions for each kid to paint w/paint, fabric pens a design and sign it. When all were returned to her she made a grandkids quilt for my in-laws 50th anniversary. This would be perfect for that, by scanning in drawings by the kids and scanning them into the computer.
As an elementary school teacher...I would love that!
What is a #4 iron setting? For synthetic, cotton, silk? What fabric did you use? I'm assuming I would need to use a natural fabric, cotton being the best?
Oh wowser. Thank you so much. I have watched lots of other freezer paper label videos with no luck. I am a seriously happy bunny.
This was my first Lisa video. I have done this application several times. Very easy. Thanks
Yayeee, your first Lisa video :) Hopefully you join me in my ventures....I'm certainly not the best video maker....but we have fun hahaa...
