1. |
Prepare image for printing on your computer.
|
2. |
Prepare fabric for printing.
|
3. |
Adjust printer setting to Plain Paper (Use Thick Paper if printer has this option). The quality setting is up to you. Sometimes we find Best quality can put out too much ink. Normal quality may be a better setting, but each printer is different.
|
4. |
Remove all paper from tray (use Manual Feed if available), and insert fabric one sheet at a time. Print onto fabric side of sheet.
|
5. |
Let dry for 15 minutes after printing. (For Vivera inks one of our testers suggested allowing the prints to dry for 2 or 3 days, but this is up to you. You may also let them dry for 15 minutes.) Peel off plastic backing.
|
6. |
Soak in room temperature water for 10 minutes. We recommend soaking in distilled water, since local tap water may have additives that affect the printer ink. If you notice ink bleeding, soak in a solution of one part fabric softener to three parts distilled water. The soaking is intended to remove excess printer ink, so keep the fabric moving by swishing it around in the water solution if you notice bleeding.
|
7. |
Lay flat to dry. You may want to blot with a paper towel so that water does not pool on your printed fabric.

8. |
Cut and sew your picture block into a beautiful quilt!
O.S.O. Sweet quilt by EQ staffer, Margaret Okuley, made with pictures of her new grandson Owen Sang Okuley, aged 6 months. Everyone at EQ met Owen, who was adopted from South Korea, via pictures Margaret's son posted on the Internet, and thought he'd make a perfect model for showing off our new fabric sheets.
