Printing pictures on material
#1
I am frustrated in trying to get the HP inkjet printer to cooperate. It keeps getting jammed. Is there a secret to mounting the material with the freezer paper and have it go thru the printer without jamming. I have taken standard cellephane tape and taped the top of the page and it is still getting caught.
Also is there a transfer paper that you can buy that will print the pictures from the computer and then iron on the fabric.
Presently, I purchased a solution to soke the material and then dry it and then iron it on freezer paper and then suppose to put thru the printer from the computer, transferring the picture onto the cloth thru the printer. There has to be a secret so the piece does not jam. I have about 10 copies of pictures that I want to put on the memory quilt and trying to find the best way at this point.
Help!!!!

I cut the paper and fabric a 1/2 inch bigger than needed. Iron on the freezer paper and then carefully trim to size. Handle carefully so none of the edges start fraying.
Carefully slide in the paper into the printer, until it just starts to catch.
Only put in one at a time, don't try to feed them in one after the other :D:D:D

Do you use freezer paper with material ironed on. I attached a standard piece of printer paper on the back as well to give it some substance but maybe that is too thick. I will try again just the material with the freezer paper. Trial and error until I get it right.
Thanks

The only drawback is that it is very expensive. @$20 for 10 sheets of 8 1/2 by 11inches. This is probably why others use the fabric on freezer paper. I would only use this if you're OK with spending the extra $ or if you can't get the other method to work.
