One of the many types of fabric decoration that eludes me is using those photo transfers to put photos on fabric. I think I must have tried at least 3 different methods and various products but as yet I have not gotten the results that I like.
One of the messiest was using this goop that you put on the photo and then place the photo on the fabric and iron away. The goop was suppose to loosen the print off of the photo and transfer it to the fabric. That didn't work at all and I think I still have a half of bottle of the stuff somewhere. The next one I tried was those sheets you put through your printer and then use them as iron on's. The results were not very good. I don't know if it was my printer or the fabric or that maybe the iron was not hot enough. The transfer came out like an antique picture, cracked looking and faded. I also have a small package of fabric sheets that you put into your printer and the printer just prints directly to it. The printed fabric is then removed from the paper backing and you use the fabric with the photo printed on it just like regular fabric. I have not tried that one yet.
I guess I am always getting disappointed at the results. Here is a product that I want my photo fabric transfers to look like - Photo Blanket. If I could only get just a decent looking photo transfer for quilt squares I would be happy.
