  • www.easysewingforbeginners.com shows you how print on fabric with your inkjet printer and freezer paper at home. In this video you will see step by step instructions for printing on fabric along with a tip about what I do to make the fabric retain more of the ink when it has been washed as well.
    You can find the blog post for this tutorial here - www.easysewingforbeginners.com...
    In this video I am using an Epson XP-410 and I highly recommend this printer. You can find it on *Amazon here: amzn.to/1zNmxEW
    You can also use any of the other Epson printers that have the Durabrite ink.
    I also recommend using the Durabrite ink with this printer as it is made to be colourfast and smudge resistant. You can find that on *Amazon here: amzn.to/1CqyO2A
    You can also find Retayne on Amazon here* : amzn.to/20hLD9u or eBay here* :rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-532...

    Fascinating! I don't understand why I am just learning about this technique but I do plan to try it - your video was excellent and I particularly liked where you showed the differences between types of ink and in the treated fabric vs. non-treated. I'm sure you have saved a lot of us from costly and time-consuming errors!

    Thanks for the tips. I'm just waiting overnight for the ink to dry and then will do the extra "Retayne" step you recommended. My most challenging step was getting my printer to pick up the thicker & smaller paper with the fabric attached. In the end I removed all the paper from my paper tray and left only the 1 piece of freezer paper with the fabric. And that worked. This will make printing quilt labels a much easier process.

Of course my printer wasn't on the link you provided and after looking it up for specifics, I learned it uses both pigment and dye based cartridges, so I have to do a bit more research. I commend you for doing such a straight forward tutorial, where I learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

    About 12 years ago I made a king sized quilt using this method. It was made up of photographs of a group of people who knew the recipient, as well as quotations that reflected the recipient. It was a beauty I must admit, tho lots of work because of the size. I found the most difficult part was removing the fabric from the freezer paper once it was printed. I've since made two other smaller memory quilts using the same method.

    I have tried this with success so thank you so much for developing this technique. I did use the painters tape which helped immensely with feeding into the printer. I was unable to find any retayne and used a different fabric fixative but found the colour changed. I think I will need to investigate the pigment based ink cartridges instead of the dye based cartridges.

    Along with the retayne, you may be able to iron it one last time before washing to help seal/set in the ink.
