inkjet printing
I`m going to try printing a design to make trimming on a blouse. I`m using a HP300 printer. Has anyone any advice for a first-timer? These sheets are too expensive to practice on! I purchased June Tailor sheets. Hope someone has some tips for success. Thanks, Bonkers

print on paper first (post #34096, reply #1 of 3)
is it possible to print it on to paper first, and keep testing until you like it, then transfer it on to sheet? I am curious how your outcome is. Please let us know.

I was told the Printed Treasures brand sheets by Miliken are on a finer weave fabric and would produce a better photo. I agree they are pricey but I do like the results they give! I did do a practice copy on paper first. I had my photographer to print a photo on a sheet of this fabric using her "photo" program--I had to reprint from my own photo using my HP printer and got much better results. I now wait for a 40% coupon at the local craft store to purchase these sheets!

Yikes! I still use tracing paper and number 2 pencils to transfer designs for embellishments! Using a copied or printed design, I trace over it on the reverse side with a regular pencil, then rub the it with the back of a spoon to transfer that onto a piece of fabric. Low-tech, but it works quickly and effectively...
