freeze your fabric?

a few posts ago i mentioned how to use freezer paper as a backing for fabric so that it can be printed on. so i decided to make a little tutorial on what i did:




i hope this is helps clears up any confusion on the technique...



so, i have been trying to get all my stuff ready to sew. lots of cutting stuff out, and getting all my supplies together...like making more sew in tags.

i will be with [info]coffee_drinker at the RISD alumni sale in providence, october 8th from 10-4. if you're in the area please stop by, it should be great! this is one of the best sales to attend especially if you are looking to get some christmas shopping done early...

that is all for now...later! ♥ teresa

cool , I really need to find some of this freezer paper stuff!


oh may I add, just for reference, in Australia standard printer paper size is A4, so you can cut to 21cm x 29 cm (in inches thats , 8.27x 11.69) though american letter size will still work, check printer page size settings :]

Thanks for the tip there ;) If anyone finds this stuff in Australia, let us know!

Thanks so much the tutorial, I would love to do this! But I don't think my printer can do that kind of magic stuff >_< I am so jealous of your printing capabilities Sewing Stars! lol

How did you come across this techinique? Just made it up or did you see it somewhere too? (Just curious!)

thanks for sharing! i've always wondered how to transfer my images onto fabric. you're a lifesaver!

now i just have to figure out what freezer paper is *rubs chin*

i got my roll of freezer paper at the supermarket where the saran wrap was. you can also buy it online.

That's awesome of you to share. I use to use those cloth transfer sheets in the packets. So expensive though to use those and my ink wasn't waterproof. What a clever idea!

Brill - thanks for that - I never knew you needed an inkjet. : S

ooh this is great!

by freezer paper you mean some crafty product or an actual refrigirator paper (something like baking paper maybe?)?

what printer do you have?

Re: ooh this is great!

freezer paper is found here in supermarkets in the sections with plastic sandwich bags and aluminum foil.

i have an epson 2200, but some of the new HP printers have water resistant inks now too.

I believe you can use butcher paper too. It's got a waxy surface on one side too.

hi! I somehow wandered to your LJ from someone else's LJ to 'The Sampler' to your store then back to LJ ... here! wooh. And I just wanted to say that you have/make/create/sell(ya, you get the point) absolutely wooonderful and beuuutiful stuff ... makes me jealous .... so back to the point, I just wanted to tell you that I friended you ... well not yet, but I will friend you after I push the 'Post Comment' button. XDD

That's far more clever and cheaper than buying transfer paper! Now to see if my Epson has the proper ink as well!

It's clever and cheaper but there's another way to do it: there are adhesive A4 sheets (I've found them googling for cheap stuff online) you can use to fix the fabric and they are not expensive at all.

fabric printing

Hi, such a good tutorial, I thought someone may have mentioned this but do not see it, there is a fabulous product called Bubble Jet Set, which I would imagine be much easier to get in America, you soak your material in it, print and rinse and it set all inks, on my bottle it says it is made by C JENKINS NECKTIE COMPANY, ST LOUIS, MO,63135, (314)521-7544-EMAIL-neckties@i1.net (i hope, the printing is tiny :-))anyway if you google it sure you would find suppliers, not sure of where to get it now in Australia, but there is some and freezer paper on ebay.com.au, have not seen freezer paper in supermarkets here, got mine from a mail order shop that has closed (sob), have fun everyone, and you have a lovely blog, cheers Suzanne
