Final Result

Materials

• 1 pk Avery Printable Fabric (cotton x 5 sheets)
• computer & ink jet printer
• fabrics of choice
• scissors
• pellon or wadding
• thread
• sewing machine
• iron
• optional - rotary cutter, mat & ruler

Step 1

Using the computer and relevant software, select photos or images and prepare for printing. Check the recommended printer settings on the list enclosed in the pack. Test print on plain paper to check image placement before printing onto fabric. Print on the matte fabric side as the glossy side is the heat-seal backing. Set aside to allow ink to dry completely.

Step 2

When dry trim image to desired dimensions before ironing. With iron on cotton setting (medium high to high heat) preheat for 5 minutes. Do not use steam. Place printed fabric onto fabric (or desired surface) and press for 5 seconds making sure all areas are completely sealed.

Step 3

Cut a piece of background fabric (hand dyed) to desired size and a piece of pellon slightly smaller. Lay background fabric over pellon and arrange printed fabric and other fabrics on top as desired. Stitch layers together and add decorative stitching. Place the stitched quilt onto a piece of backing fabric cut slightly larger than the background fabric and stitch together around all four edges.

Handy Hint

This printable cotton fabric has a heat-seal backing that bonds to fabric, cardboard, wood and other porous surfaces.

Handy Hint

Use printable fabric for memory quilts, pillows, bags, aprons, album covers and more. Incorporate photos, sayings and graphics. Even print your fabric.

Handy Hint

Printable fabric can be washed if applied to a washable fabric but ink must dry for 24 hours.
