   Excellent tutorial! I have often wondered how the freezer paper method would work! I have been buying the fabric sheets from the craft store,but they are very expensive. I like the iron-on adhesive on the back. Any suggestions on what could be used to produce the same on the printer sheets? Thank you so much for sharing!

     Thanks, Linda!

     You’ve got me thinking now! I would use Vliesofix (adhesive transfer paper May have a different name for you) to apply the adhesive onto the back.
     I’ve never thought about ironing the fabric straight onto Vliesofix and then printing onto the fabric. This would would make things easier with getting the adhesive on the back of the fabric, but I’m not sure if it will damage the printer at all….the adhesive may gum up the printer.
     I’ll need to test this and get back to you!

     Thanks for dropping by!

       I have had good luck with using 505 fabric adhesive sprayed unto a sheet of white card stock and then adhering a piece of white fabric to that. Then I trim and run it through my printer. Some printers won’t print because of the added weight but I think you could do the same process with an ordinary piece of printer paper. Doesn’t seem to harm my printer in anyway. I use the printer setting, the drying time, and the Retyne ideas that you suggested. So far so good.

         Great to hear! I think as long as you can stabilise the fabric the printer should accept it and print on it. Good to know the adhesive spray works. Does the fabric come off of the paper easily once you are done? Does it leave any residue on the fabric? Thanks for stopping by!
