Southern Quilts Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Does anyone have a good source (ideally wholesale) for printable, fusible fabric sheets? I am making a few memory quilts soon that I need to print the photos onto the fabric and then fuse them to the quilt square. Or is there a simpler method of putting the photos onto the quilt? Thanks!

Zora Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Do some resesrch, because I don't think you have to have special fabric. You can fuse regular properly prepared fabric to freezer paper and run it through your printer then just sew it into your blocks as you construct them..unless you have to fuse for some reason. Have you checked Dharma Trading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachside Quilter Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I use Printed Treasures fabric printer sheets. Readily available at JoAnn Fabrics or online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piecrust Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I've tried every way to print on fabric, including using regular fabric on freezer paper and sending it thru a printer. (Won't ever do that again.) Also there is a possibility of the image washing out if not treated properly. I've used Printed Treasures (discount coupon from Joann's) and I was never happy with the color quality. Also removing the backing was a challenge if you ironed to set the ink before removing the paper. (Remove backing before ironing to set the ink, got it?) My fav is by EQ (Electric Quilt) and can be found on their web site. They have a variety of thread counts, sizes and quantity. I suggest ordering their sample pack and running a few test prints. (BTW, you can scroll thru my blog and see a few pillows that have been made using EQ printable fabric.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 EQ works great. You do not have to fuse it to the block, you just sew it in like fabric. I suggest you call EQ and ask them if your ink jet printer will work well with their product. If not, put the pictures you want on a data stick and check local office stores and see what ink jet printers they have. The store should work with you to print it, just bring the paperwork for the fabric to the store, so they can read everything as how to use it. They will want to protect their printer from damage. Best of luck, and share when your done. Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gailpeters Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I got a photo on fabric. Not sure how it will wash yet as it is for a fund raiser. The web is fotosonfabric.com She does larger than I could do on my printer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I use the Electric Quilt printable fabrics. They have several types. Follow their directions on the package and you'll be good to go. You can just sew them like a regular quilt block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
