Hello everyone!! Today I want to share the process I use to print images on fabric using freezer paper and my laser printer. If you are interested in the products I used in today's video...I have linked the items below as now I am an Amazon affiliate.
Before using any printed image in a very loved quilt, make sure to TEST YOUR PRINT with the desired fabric and your printer/inks :) Not all inks are the same, and not all fabrics are the same. Put your test project through the wash and see how well it all holds up before investing time and money into a much larger project.
If you are in the market for a new laser printer...this is the printer I use in this video:

And this is the toner:

I did that years ago with both a photo of my grandmother in her kitchen and her mincemeat pie recipe. I put it on an apron for my mother. She loved it. The image transfer paper that I used was a major pain. I’m looking forward to trying this method!

Oh my goodness, this is incredible! I was trying to order a label on Etsy for $15.00 and it would not ship on time for my gift quilt. I watched your video 3 hours ago and one trip for the freezer paper and my label is done and attached!!! Thank you so much!

@cynthiadinsdale5821 6 жыл бұрын

Just a hint: When peeling the freezer paper from the fabric you were concerned about not distorting the fabric. I noticed that you were peeling it on a 45° angle which is exactly on the bias of the fabric and most likely to cause distortion even when you are careful. After you begin the peeling process at the corner try going across the paper edge so that you are peeling with the lengthwise (or crosswise) grain of the fabric. This would prevent pulling against that bias grain and distorting the fabric.

I am a printer repair technician and would have never tried this because I know there is a possibility of the printer catching on fire. ( At least that is what I have always been told.) I do know that some fabric with glue as a binder are far to viscose and will run into a laser printer when heated, ruining a printer, however I never thought to use freezer paper. It is 2: 30 AM and I am going into my computer room and print out family photos on good cotton fabric using your freezer paper method and my color laser printer. I'll call in sick tomorrow! Thank you for being so brave and experimenting! I can also print out my logo on fabric and use it on everything from aprons to hats! You are super!.

Wow.....NOW I stop and think hahahaaa......youre right, for sure I wouldn't put any product with adhesive through my laser printer.....however freezer paper is activated with heat on fabric so I gave it a go lol.

Kate Palombo it's been 3 weeks, PLEASE let us know how the printing went with your color laser printer. I just bought a new brother one. I don't think is try it out while still under warranty, but maybe later down the road. May ingest in a inexpensive b/w one though.

I have been making microwave pads for holding bowls and cups while heating food or drinks in the microwave; the directions are always to use only cotton fabric, batting, and thread because polyester may start a fire in a microwave oven. I also made rice and flax pads for heating pads for sore muscles; again, the directions are to use only cotton in the microwave. Might this principle apply to use in a laser printer and should perhaps be limited to cotton fabric?

I also added top stitching for texture on each page of the book. I gave it to my daughter as a gift and she loved it. She has an art background and was very impressed with the results.

It has been my desire for some time to make some of the squares with positive, uplifting messages and incorporating them into the pattern. NOW I KNOW HOW TO DO IT!!! I can hardly wait to get started! Your tutorial is REALLY an answer to prayer.

I am so thankful that this video has been so helpful for you Sharon! Make sure to test some prints first to make sure they are colorfast before sewing into a lap quilt that may get washed down the road, as not all inks are the same. You just may have to treat your print with some BubbleJet perhaps to set the colors. I think your quilts will be a huge blessing for so many!

Thank you for your very well done tutorial. I just finished printing 16 panels for a quilt my wife is doing for our granddaughter's high school graduation. As part of our experiments, we tried using cotton sateen fabric thinking that the finer thread count might produce a more well defined print - it didn't 😞, so we went with cotton muslin. We have an HP Laser Jet printer model M283cdw. I used the "Color Laser Matte 105g" setting for the paper, which seemed to produce the best print. Since the prints are all going to be in 6" square panels, I defined my own paper type of "Quilt 6.50 x 6.50" which gives us a print centered on a 6" panel with 1/4" left for the seams all around. Again, Thank You!

Thank you so much, Lisa! This makes total sense. My husband, before his recent retirement, was a computer/printer repair technician. Many times, he would come home with toner on his clothes from a printer or copier he had been working on. We ALWAYS tried to make sure his clothes were washed in cold water, because if they were washed in warm/hot, the toner was permanently bonded to the fabric in his clothes. Believe me, I've NEVER been able to get set-in toner out of his clothes. I don't know why this never dawned on me. I love to put photos in my quilts, but have always worried about the photos fading too much in the wash. This is such a great idea! Now to decide on which laser printer to purchase. Decisions, decisions. Lol

thank you, I just started to sew and I've been going crazy with the iron on's, I can't even begin to tell you how much money I spent buying the transfer paper, let's just say I went through two packs in less than an hour. I didn't realize how much fun it was and I'm addicted. I have this thing too when I start something new I go all out and have to buy everything I see others using and I can't ever just get one of everything. I bought rotary cutters and had to get them in all shapes and sizes and let's not forget color. this is what I've done with everything I've gotten so far to sew with. I'm really thinking about buying another sewing machine bc I want the digital kind, even though I just bought a singer simple. now I want a quilting machine too, but I just found a video that showed how to do free motion on a regular sewing machine now I just might not have to buy a quilting machine. thanks for saving me money on all that transfer paper.

Thank you. Really appreciate your video. I find it really helpful to use a lint roller over the fabric before feeding it into the printer. Also the freezer paper is reusable many times and its cut to the right size 😊

what a great tip to pass on, using the lint roller, thank you so much!

@mgs783 4 жыл бұрын

I don’t know if reusing the paper for printing is worth the risk of ink transfer. Lisa’s paper had residual in ghosted onto the paper from the ink. If using white or light fabric could it absorb some of that transfer onto the next printing?

It totally just worked!! Because I don't trust me, I picked up an off white fat quarter of fabric from walmart and freezer paper and put it through my inkjet (after the fact I found where my manual feeder-er is) and ran a test sheet through after following your instructions to press it onto the fabric...I do have a laser jet that's only black ink that I'll try another time for my labels/tags...thank youuuuu! EDIT...probably because I used inkjet and not laserjet, my ink ran when I sprayed it but it's fine for me because my projects wont require laundering...I'll update when I try it out on my other printer but overall I LOVE THIS!!!

OMG! LISA! I just printed my dog club's logo on a white fabric following your tutorial... I am IMPRESSED how it came out! I even sprayed the fabric to test to see if the toner would smear and it didn't! I wish I could post a photo of it! Thank you Thank you!

You are a genius! I have been too afraid to use my laser printer for fear of ruining my printer (don't ask, horror story in some random chat room). I had nothing to fear. I have printed 5 pieces already and they are perfect. Depending on your specific settings, I was able to print in grey scale as well as regular, both versions are perfect. I cannot thank you enough! I have a B&W laser, not color. The black ink cartridges are expensive ($70 for high yield). It would have to be an unbelievably super special project for me to buy color cartridges. You can buy color laser printers for well under $300, but by the time you buy the color cartridges (the ones that come with the machines are basically samples and do not last very long), you're investing about $75 per color cartridge and you need 4 of them, plus $70 for the black, and that's a whopping $370, eeek!

@TheQuiltmakerHomestead 6 жыл бұрын

I'm so glad you found this useful, and gave it a try!! From my research although pricey for toner, the cartridge is suppose to be cheaper per print vs. Inkjet....from what I read anyways. Good info on the pricing for color....I may just stick to my black printer haahaaa...but I have some AWESOME ideas for adding color.......

You should be able to take the cartridges into any office supply store that offers to refill them for you. The benefit of Lazer over inkjet is amazing lol I haven't made the switch yet. Refilling the cartridges (they use a syringe type deal) is a whole lot cheaper than buying new every time.
