Use a stitch length sufficient enough to hold the seam together well, yet allow your seam ripper point to fit under a stitch if needed to remove it. Jan in VA |

For transferring photos: if you have an inkjet printer, I recommend "Printed Treasures" paper-backed linen. You just insert it into the printer (like paper) and print photos or text right off your computer. Remove the backing, and heat set; then thoroughly submerge into cold water, let dry and press the wrinkles out. I've used it for photos and labels for my quilts. The Bubble Jet is a product used to do the rinse, but not of necessary. There are other products out there, so be sure to READ the directions and know what type of printer you will be using. Good Luck!

Have you washed photo transfer fabrics yet? What is recommended for care after they are used in a quilt? I'm giving the Civil War quilts away as gifts and I want to include washing instructions in case they decide to use the quilt on a bed or for a lap quilt. |
