I did read about this stuff, Bubble Jet Set. Does anyone know if it works? It, I think, is going to be my next method of attack. Other than that, any suggestions? Since it will be a quilt and a wedding present, it has to be able to be washed. I would hate for it to be gifted and then one day have no pictures on it! Advice is welcome!
Here is the quilt I am making. Alyssa at Pile O' Fabric did such a beautiful job with the quilt. It absolutely stole my breath and I knew it would be perfect for a wedding present. I got these wonderful Kona solids at my local quilt store.
Kona Snow, Kona Ash, Kona Coal, Kona Medium Gray, and Kona Black. Lucky for me, I store carries every color Kona Cotton offered!
On another note, the ColorWheel swap filled up in what to me was record time! I am very excited to get started assigning colors and organizing the fabric as it comes in. I have two people who have agreed to be alternates, should someone drop or send fabric that gets disqualified. But, if anyone else would like an alternate spot, do not hesitate to message me. Thanks again everyone for signing up!
I didn't get a message about whether I got in or not - how do I find out? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI use the bubble jet set, it works, I use the rinse and the actual stuff, definitely recommend. you have to soak it and let it dry completely, then once you print use the rinse. - i've made a few for commission jobs, the other alternative to buying the paper, since it gets costly is to use kona white and freezer paper - iron the freezer paper to it and feed it through the printer.
ReplyDeleteooh, I've never used it, good luck, looks like Jennifer has you covered
ReplyDeleteI have read a lot of info about printing on fabric, but haven't had the nerve to try it yet. One thing I've noticed is the recommendation to print in a laser printer. I think the laser 'ink'/toner may set better than the ink jet ink. Another reason I haven't tried it yet.
ReplyDeleteThere is supposed to be a liquid rinse (wonder if that's what Jennifer is using) that helps set, but I can't remember the name of the stuff. I'll see if I can find the info I've been gathering and shoot you an email. I would love to see how this turns out for you.
FYI: I lust after the X and + quilt you have on your header every time I see it. It's my very favorite version of this quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe rinse I was talking about is EXACTLY what Jennifer recommended. LOL. I saw it on Dharma Trading Co, but haven't tried it yet. After Jennifer's recommendation, might have to give it a go.
ReplyDeleteI'm late to this post. Did you solve your problem? I'm very curious about this since I wasn't a huge fan of the paper I used so I'd love an update :)
