Printing on Fabric using Freezer Paper with FREE download

[@caramiasommers8076]

I am so excited I found you! I am going to decorate a tablecloth from the books that we have read for my homeschool kids' book club. I am planning on ironing the books on first and then secure with a hand stitch. I just printed out Felicity and it worked! Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!! I want to hug you!

[@CarolynWells1052]

Wouldn't that be beautiful to take your mothers and grandmother’s hand written recipes and put them to cloth. ❤️

[@Dragon_Jewelz]

What a wonderful idea !

[@julianachandler2975]

I did that years ago with both a photo of my grandmother in her kitchen and her mincemeat pie recipe. I put it on an apron for my mother. She loved it. The image transfer paper that I used was a major pain. I’m looking forward to trying this method!

[@donnabrogle782]

Oh my goodness, this is incredible! I was trying to order a label on Etsy for $15.00 and it would not ship on time for my gift quilt. I watched your video 3 hours ago and one trip for the freezer paper and my label is done and attached!!! Thank you so much!

[@marieschumacher6410]

❤ I am 75 years “young “ and work on miniatures. Age does not permit me to do some finer detail work. This will allow me to do some things I thought out of reach before. Excellent teaching methods. Thank you very much for the help!

[@Mmshroom]

@@marieschumacher6410 custom printed fabric is much more affordable. I do upholstery and recently I printed faux leather and marine vinyl. It’s amazing.

[@sharondayton4391]

Lisa. Thank you so much.... Prayer shawls are popular for cancer patients, but going through this journey myself i find a lap quilt is just as comforting as a shawl, if not more so. It has been my desire for some time to make some of the squares with positive, uplifting messages and incorporating them into the pattern. NOW I KNOW HOW TO DO IT!!! I can hardly wait to get started! Your tutorial is REALLY an answer to prayer.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

I am so thankful that this video has been so helpful for you Sharon! Make sure to test some prints first to make sure they are colorfast before sewing into a lap quilt that may get washed down the road, as not all inks are the same. You just may have to treat your print with some BubbleJet perhaps to set the colors. I think your quilts will be a huge blessing for so many!

[@donnagough7987]

I have been in cancer treatments for one year (including chemo & radiation). I made a lap quilt with minky fabric. It brings me comfort. I hope you are doing well. 😃

[@michelletravis2838]

I have looked for a year on how to print on fabric. I knew there had to be a way. Finally after a year I have found you. Absolutely PERFECT explain and video. I tried it today and worked PERFEFCT. I'm so excited. I paint on fabric which turnes our beautiful. Thank you so much helping me. Have a great day.

[@williamdoust]

Wow, you ain't on fabric? Can you recommend any pens? I want to do a project with my son. Thx

This actually gives me a great idea for a memorial project using my mother's and grandmother's recipes.

[@dianemitchell5770]

Lisa, I used this technique to print color photos of my two granddaughters on fabric. I used the photos as appliqués stitched into the scenes of a cloth panel children’s story book “Baby’s Day”. I also added top stitching for texture on each page of the book. I gave it to my daughter as a gift and she loved it. She has an art background and was very impressed with the results. I want to thank you for sharing this method! I will use it often💖

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Wow, your books sound AMAZING!!

[@vande653]

With an ink jet printer? If so, how good you make the ink permanent?

[@tazg349]

You have such a great teaching acumen. Anyway, I also sew as a hobby been doing it in the last 40 years since i bought my first sewing machine after migrating to this great country of ours from Asia. My mother was a fashion designer and dressmaker in a small rural town we lived she still used the old Singer machine with the foot paddle. LOL. I was not allowed to touch it or learn to sew except by just watching her. When I came to this country and worked as a health care professional the sewing machine was a dream that became my reality. And I self-taught myself to learn everything my mom did. Including designing. Now I want to incorporate personalized texts into my designs as gifts to family and friends. I will be making pairs of matching pillowcases, grocery bags, and throw pillow cushion covers with my friends' names and their favorite Bible verses. So I just needed to know how to transfer texts into my creation and you did me tremendous help. Thanks a million. A whole new world of creative ideas has opened up for me. You helped make that happen!!!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Thank you so very much Taz, I appreciate the amazing feedback a lot! I think adding personalized text to your projects is a WONDERFUL way to customize, and I think you are going to love it!

[@tazg349]

@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead I will. What else are you teaching? Im sure you have a lot of ideas like this?

[@anndepierro2950]

Lisa, I am a newbie making quilts for my grand nieces and nephews after 39 years of teaching. I am now 81 years of age. You are one of my most favorite teachers. I love your sense of adventure and creativity. I used your method of creating a label for a washable quilt. It was perfect. Thank you.

[@arachne1969]

I am a printer repair technician and would have never tried this because I know there is a possibility of the printer catching on fire. ( At least that is what I have always been told.) I do know that some fabric with glue as a binder are far to viscose and will run into a laser printer when heated, ruining a printer, however I never thought to use freezer paper. It is 2: 30 AM and I am going into my computer room and print out family photos on good cotton fabric using your freezer paper method and my color laser printer. I'll call in sick tomorrow! Thank you for being so brave and experimenting! I can also print out my logo on fabric and use it on everything from aprons to hats! You are super!.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Kate Palombo catching on fire!!!!! Wow.....NOW I stop and think hahahaaa......youre right, for sure I wouldn't put any product with adhesive through my laser printer.....however freezer paper is activated with heat on fabric so I gave it a go lol. Let me know how your labels turn out, and enjoy your "sick" day off from work hehe

[@digimom82]

Kate Palombo it's been 3 weeks, PLEASE let us know how the printing went with your color laser printer. I just bought a new brother one. I don't think is try it out while still under warranty, but maybe later down the road. May ingest in a inexpensive b/w one though.

[@shirleyjohnson2091]

I have been making microwave pads for holding bowls and cups while heating food or drinks in the microwave; the directions are always to use only cotton fabric, batting, and thread because polyester may start a fire in a microwave oven. I also made rice and flax pads for heating pads for sore muscles; again, the directions are to use only cotton in the microwave. Might this principle apply to use in a laser printer and should perhaps be limited to cotton fabric?

[@vcalibur1]

Did you create your own logo or pay for someone to do it for you?

[@lesw3803]

Shirley johnson I was thinking of using muslin

[@sophiesniche]

The last time I did pictures to fabrics was in the 90's and I am so impressed with the advancement of technology how simple this is. I cannot wait to start my project.

[@carynwakelin2494]

Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. I was just about to buy some (very expensive) special paper online to print quilt labels, when I noticed someone in the comments mentioning freezer paper. I searched online for the technique and your video came up. I already have a roll of freezer paper so I'm all set. Thank you again for taking the time to show us how it's done.

[@heidisouthard1234]

I realize you posted this quite a few years ago - but I'm just trying it out now - and it worked great!! Thanks for sharing this - great step by step instructions. Much appreciated!!

[@cynthiadinsdale5821]

Just a hint: When peeling the freezer paper from the fabric you were concerned about not distorting the fabric. I noticed that you were peeling it on a 45° angle which is exactly on the bias of the fabric and most likely to cause distortion even when you are careful. After you begin the peeling process at the corner try going across the paper edge so that you are peeling with the lengthwise (or crosswise) grain of the fabric. This would prevent pulling against that bias grain and distorting the fabric.

[@pacurtiswarren1105]

My thought as well!

[@susanpatlak7847]

Thanks!

[@iteeshollow]

Really, just ironing it again and peeling it will come up easily

[@pamelapetrovits5617]

Also, I have found that using one of my quilt rulers helps as I’m peeling. I lay the ruler flat on the fabric and slide it along next to the paper as I peel.

[@iteeshollow]

@@pamelapetrovits5617 Really, just apply more heat with the iron and it lifts off effortlessly, think about it, lol.

Just make sure to check your prints for colorfasting before using in a project that will be washed :) All inks/printers are different. Have lots of fun!!

[@gailrodgers3079]

Thank you so very much for this video. I made the label for my very first grandchild and long awaited grand-daughter's quilt that I made for her. So nice to be able to include everything that I thought was important on it such as my mother (the great grandma) had given me the fabric several years ago. And the quilters name as well. I was also able to include a picture of one of the main elements of the fabric in full color on the label! I used a Samsung Laser printer. Thank you so much. I only needed to watch the video three times! I'm in my 60's and was scared I would miss a point. I will be using this technique again! Thank you!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

this was awesome news!! I do the same thing.....re-watch videos so that I don't miss a single thing :) Thanks for watching!

[@qwertybdj1]

Thank you for your very well done tutorial. I just finished printing 16 panels for a quilt my wife is doing for our granddaughter's high school graduation. As part of our experiments, we tried using cotton sateen fabric thinking that the finer thread count might produce a more well defined print - it didn't 😞, so we went with cotton muslin. We have an HP Laser Jet printer model M283cdw. I used the "Color Laser Matte 105g" setting for the paper, which seemed to produce the best print. Since the prints are all going to be in 6" square panels, I defined my own paper type of "Quilt 6.50 x 6.50" which gives us a print centered on a 6" panel with 1/4" left for the seams all around. Again, Thank You!

I've used this technique to make quilt labels for a few years now, and they haven't washed out yet! It's a great way to add a personal touch.

You did a great job with this tutorial!

[@deneseswackhamer7767]

Thank you so much, Lisa! This makes total sense. My husband, before his recent retirement, was a computer/printer repair technician. Many times, he would come home with toner on his clothes from a printer or copier he had been working on. We ALWAYS tried to make sure his clothes were washed in cold water, because if they were washed in warm/hot, the toner was permanently bonded to the fabric in his clothes. Believe me, I've NEVER been able to get set-in toner out of his clothes. I don't know why this never dawned on me. I love to put photos in my quilts, but have always worried about the photos fading too much in the wash. This is such a great idea! Now to decide on which laser printer to purchase. Decisions, decisions. Lol

[@mgs783]

I don’t know if reusing the paper for printing is worth the risk of ink transfer. Lisa’s paper had residual in ghosted onto the paper from the ink. If using white or light fabric could it absorb some of that transfer onto the next printing?

[@bonnielee8935]

You are a genius! I have been too afraid to use my laser printer for fear of ruining my printer (don't ask, horror story in some random chat room). I had nothing to fear. I have printed 5 pieces already and they are perfect. Depending on your specific settings, I was able to print in grey scale as well as regular, both versions are perfect. I cannot thank you enough! I have a B&W laser, not color. The black ink cartridges are expensive ($70 for high yield). It would have to be an unbelievably super special project for me to buy color cartridges. You can buy color laser printers for well under $300, but by the time you buy the color cartridges (the ones that come with the machines are basically samples and do not last very long), you're investing about $75 per color cartridge and you need 4 of them, plus $70 for the black, and that's a whopping $370, eeek!

I'm so glad you found this useful, and gave it a try!! From my research although pricey for toner, the cartridge is suppose to be cheaper per print vs. Inkjet....from what I read anyways. Good info on the pricing for color....I may just stick to my black printer haahaaa...but I have some AWESOME ideas for adding color.......

[@BJH862]

Print in color book and use Crayola permanent fabric markers. I made book bags for my library group to give away and we used those markers to add the text we wanted. Worked great.

[@dcwatashi]

Beatrice Hall could you further explain what you mean by " Print in Color Books". Thanks

[@winstonchaychel]

You should be able to take the cartridges into any office supply store that offers to refill them for you. The benefit of Lazer over inkjet is amazing lol I haven't made the switch yet. Refilling the cartridges (they use a syringe type deal) is a whole lot cheaper than buying new every time.

[@winstonchaychel]

Oh, btw I found on Amazon the entire cartridge set for the specific printer she uses for $79.99 and that includes colors and black inks. E-Z Ink (TM) No Chip Compatible Toner Cartridge Replacement For Brother TN227 TN 227 TN223 223 to use with HL-L3210CW HL-L3230CDW HL-L3270CDW HL-L3290CDW MFC-L3710CW MFC-L3750CDW MFC-L3770CDW (4 Pack) smile.amazon.com/dp/B07JKNXTRN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lWi-BbAXFXTEQ

Oh wowser. Thank you so much. I have watched lots of other freezer paper label videos with no luck. I am a seriously happy bunny.

[@andrewhesling7875]

I remember watching this video years ago when I had an inkjet printer, the results were good. Now I have a laser printer and just wanted a refesher because I haven't done this in years and it was your video that I wanted to watch, before I attempted it again. Excellent video by the way, I have also subscribed and will be watching your other videos / tutorials. ps. I'm from the UK so you've gone international, so woo hoo!!! 02-05-24.

Joyous I know the exact feeling hahaha :)

[@razmatazmania1]

Try heating your iron a bit and run it across your paper side after printing to "loosen" the fabric when removing the paper..

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You are right, the heat from the iron makes it come off easier :)

[@cindykling7123]

What a fantastic tutorial. I was scrolling through videos and the title of yours caught my eye. I was intrigued by the idea of printing on fabric (I didn't know you could do that with a home printer) and I was curious as to what you were going to do with the freezer paper. I love that I've learned something new! Your tutorial is extremely well done. I completely appreciate your ability to speak well (i.e. your tone, your rate of speech & your ability to speak smoothly and without stammering or using filler words such as and, umm, like etc). This is definitely the most well done tutorial I have watched in a very long time. While I don't quilt, I am subscribing to your channel because I thoroughly enjoyed learning from you today. Thank you for the very interesting video. Also, I too had noted while watching your video that you have nice hands 😁

Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?

[@leopardprint6471]

This looks awesome! I’m so excited to give this method a try with my printer. I am also a bit of a rebel; I love experimenting and figuring out how to do something different. I’m going to try printing on some knit fabric that will become the bodice of dresses for my granddaughters. Thanks for the inspiration 😊

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You are so welcome Lanette, I love the idea that you shared!

[@rocioramirez6787]

Great idea

[@kasmstamps1897]

This is what I have been looking for! I have watched dozens of clips over the last couple for weeks (data to use) as I have been learning embroidery (started at the beginning of 2021) and recently trying applique. I've been reworking old t-shirts and shirts with some of my interests (motor racing and golf). Anyway, thank you. I have not made a comment before on so this is something new for me (had to register open an account) but to echo alot of previous comments of your tutorial, a big thank you for sharing your wisdom. Stay safe. K.

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Thank you so much!

[@bethbrock6931]

It worked wonderfully! I used MS Word to create my own label and printed it to add to a quilt I gave my granddaughter. Thank you so much for the video!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

I'm so glad you were able to use the video and make your own custom label Beth!!! Thanks for watching :)

[@pkiser1980]

This is so cool, I've been wanting to make a personalized quilt but wasn't sure how I wanted to do it but this is it, thanks so much.

[@hurstjames6199]

Hello how're you doing hope you're safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?

[@davidronbrothers1764]

Wow! I have avoided so many ideas for printing on fabric because I only have a laser printer!! Trying this asap!

[@kizzywitch]

@ David & Ron Brothers Q: how did you get on? I’m following Lisa’s great instructions but I am finding issues when ironing the print. I printed on cotton and muslin and Im using a HP Laser jet Printer with black toner...the prints come out perfect however I’ve found when ironing the print the next day the ink leaves an impression on whatever I’m laying the fabric on, I’ve tried ironing from the front too and ink comes off onto the iron. :( any idea what am Im doing wrong?

[@kathleentravis8854]

Since freezer paper is 18" wide, why don't you cut 1 11" piece and then cut it in half to create 2 sheets with no waste?

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

they way you mentioned is definitely smarter way to cut the sheets! Hahaha.....

[@Sharlene12866]

I personally think the tiny bit of waste is worth having all edges firmly "glued" to the paper and no stray threads coming off in the printer or straying onto the ink.

[@EsmereldaPea]

@@Sharlene12866 But if it's cut to 9", you already have extra to cut off since letter size is 8.5"

[@SharoninKentucky]

She said it needed to be larger at first then cut to paper size.

[@kcbirder]

@@SharoninKentucky Yes, and 18 divided by 2 is nine, which is plenty for an 8.5" sheet. It IS larger, with a lot less waste. She would cut a little over 11" wide, then have enough for two instead of cutting off all that bottom part.

[@sallyschilling1559]

OMG! LISA! I just printed my dog club's logo on a white fabric following your tutorial... I am IMPRESSED how it came out! I even sprayed the fabric to test to see if the toner would smear and it didn't! I wish I could post a photo of it! Thank you Thank you!

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

You are so welcome! You can post a photo to the Creative Crew on FB. Link in the description box.

[@charlottedonaldson1279]

You are so brilliant. I did something (don’t remember what) with freezer paper/ printer and I was afraid I was going to get it caught in my printer. But it went thru ok. I didn’t trim it good and had a string on the fabric. Thanks for explaining so well.

[@chrisharrison5974]

Thank you for a very clear and informative tutorial. I have thought about doing this for such a long time but never got around to it, you know how it is when you are engrossed in your sewing 😀. I came across you by accident but am now a subscriber and will be checking out your other tutorials, love your style and anything to do with sewing and quilting. The mug rug is gorgeous xx

[@tracystrobel1065]

Love this idea. Can you do this with any type of writing? My kids dad just passed away and im planning on making quilts with some photos of them and their dad on it and was thinking this would be perfect to incorporate his handwriting on it. Like copying the message from an old birthday card.. The "I love you Dad" portion. Would this work?

[@TheQuiltmakerHomestead]

Yes, you could scan the cards etc and print....make sure to do a test print and see how well the ink stays when washed :)

[@kathyhebert6421]

TraCy strobel that sounds like a very great idea! My Donald and I have both lost loves and we both still have bits of their handwriting. Think I will do some of this in the memorial we have in our living room of momentos of people we have lost in our lives!

[@tlsnana9539]

TraCy strobel thank you for this suggestion. I’ve been saving an apple cake recipe that my mother wrote. I really didn’t want to waste it by decoupaging onto a plate. This will work so well!! I can make more than one for my children. They also miss their grandmother. I’m very sorry for your loss, also.

Baby quilt w/their birth certificate or birth announcement. Wedding announcement, invitation, etc.

[@jocelynannmc]

Years ago one of my sis-in-laws sent a square of muslin for each grandchild to each family with the instructions for each kid to paint w/paint, fabric pens a design and sign it. When all were returned to her she made a grandkids quilt for my in-laws 50th anniversary. This would be perfect for that, by scanning in drawings by the kids and scanning them into the computer.
