If you've got an Epson Stylus C-series printer or another one that has permanent ink, you can print directly onto fabric--photos, text, images from the web--anything! Here's how--

  • Hi there, really good video but i have one question. Is it possible to reuse the freezer paper after you've ironed it on and peeled it off?

  • @kimmyquevil You can try--see if you can get a good tight bond the second time. You may want to use tiny pieces of double-stick tapes on the corners or the leading edge. You just don't want the fabric to come loose and jam your printer. Good luck!

  • are these images washable and the image will be permanent after wash(es)???

  • @DRbebe2017 Heatset them thoroughly, let them cure for a couple weeks before washing, turn inside out and wash gently. They will fade some but should be pretty good. I've had them go through many washes with little fading--but you have to take care. Good luck!

  • Thank you so much for this easy tutorial! It's soooo simple. Just cut the fabric, cut the freezer paper. Iron fabric on waxy side. Feed into computer with fabric side facing printer rollers!

    This is a wonderful, inexpensive way for us to transfer ANY image on fabric (I only use muslin). It worked like a charm......thanks a million!!

  • @MeriScrapper13 So glad you're enjoying it--I've had great results and done tons of things I wouldn't have been able to do otherwise.

  • will the photos come out clear or blured?

  • AWESOME!!! YOU ROCK!!

  • Thanks, I have been looking for a simple tutorial. I used stitch witchery in place of double sided tape. Probably not the best idea, but all I had. Just wanted to test the method. Thanks again!

  • OOh you are so creative! Is this how you did your journal jean skirt on your blog? Those are waay cool. Thank you for doing all these great vids.
