It's much more cost effective to test to than print everything and find out that what you envisioned isn't possible with the fabric you chose.

Test on a sample firstWith that experience under my belt, I recommend that you print a single photo tranfer, create a quilt sandwich with it, and see how it looks. Several of my blocks ended up with hair that was fused on.made me look like I was wearing a helmut instead of spiky hair. It felt like regular cotton fabric.īut I am frugal at heart and didn't want to waste the expensive background fabric that I'd created. I was much happier with the finished result and could do the thread painting on it. I had to change plans and ended up switching to one of the EQ photo transfer fabrics, one that is for inkjet printers, 200 thread count, 100% cotton fabric. My needle was leaving unsightly holes in the fabric. I wish there was a better way to explain it but that's pretty close. The fabric itself felt more like a 'plasticized' fabric. I had used a June Tailor packaged/precut photo transfer fabric and it didn't stand up to the stitching.

Unfortunately, when it came time to quilt my 'hair', I really wanted to do some thread painting.I'm not a big fan of fusible web.just a personal preference. Using a word processing program and some lines and some '***' I was able to create a subtle fabric but with a lot of meaning for our group.

I used prepackaged photo transfer fabric to create a conversation print for the background fabric with all the goofy sayings that we used with/on each other. It doesn't look like a standard photo transfer quilt block.
