PRINTING ON FABRIC: The ABSOLUTE Best Method for Creating Your Own Custom Printed Fabric

[@MorningDove204]

I used this 20 years ago also. A TIP: IF you want vibrant color, after you set it for 30 minutes and is dry, rinse in water with a little bit of fabric softener added. It brightens the ink colors. I did this on photos transferred for a memory quilt. I wanted to see the vibrancy of the kids photos. Not necessary if wanting a faded vintage look. Just something to have in your toolbox of knowledge when using Jet Set Bubble set and the main printing product

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you so much for the tip! I'll have to write it on the bottle so I don't forget. 🥰

[@christineowens5108]

Do I need to really use the bubble rinse?

[@groovychic]

i happened onto this video a few months ago and was so excited to learn about the Bubble Jet 2000! A few days later I wanted to order a bottle and this video had disappeared from everywhere - I searched YT history, browser history, google web activity, temp files, etc. I looked for days to no avail. This time I've saved it in about 10 dift places and took a pic of the product with my phone. lol thank you for sharing your find!!!

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Oh no! I hate when that happens. I'm glad you found it again!

[@mariansparks1362]

Thank you for this great method. I made one change. I've put the Bubble Jet Set 2000 in a spray bottle, and applied it that way. I found that I didn't like having to iron the fabric to try to get rid of the intense wrinkles I had doing it the other way. I'm making a memory quilt for my step son who just lost his wife at age 52. Thank you again.

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

That is such a great idea and I love the idea of your memory quilt for your stepson!

[@jamierusso9078]

Thank you for this video. I started making baby quilts and stroller accessories about 10 or so years ago for family and friends. I have wanted to make my own labels but every time I tried to print straight onto the fabric it would usually bleed or get screwed up in the printer. You solved both my problems in one shot. ❤ Now I have to buy some Bubble Jet.... and get printing. Again Thank You🎉

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

You’re so welcome! I’m glad you found it helpful. 😊

[@beverlynielsen6714]

Thanks Sherri. I had no idea how to do this.

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

You are so welcome! I'm glad I was able to help. 🥰

[@donnam.parsons1005]

Ihave tried so many things and will definitely try this, thank you so much for this video!

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Glad it was helpful!

[@debbeshumaker1722]

I have ordered the products you used and can’t wait to play. I have used others products before they worked ok. Thanks for the information.

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

I hope they work for you too. I'm so glad to have found them myself. I knew there had to be something out there and was almost embarrassed I didn't already know about this...proof I am new to all this too. ☺️

[@marymcdermed3680]

Where do you get your products?

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Sorry I just saw your question because it's on a response to someone else's comment it didn't show up in my comments. I need to change my filters to show me responses to responses....anyway....I'm very limited where I live so I only have Walmart and a small Michaels that's farther away so I often must rely on Amazon or other website. I usually share links in the descriptions of each video so check there if you are looking for something I have mentioned in a video.

[@armfar69]

OMG! This is pure gold!!!!! Thanks a lot for sharing.

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it! It's so funny because I had searched and searched for something like this on KZbin. I knew there had to be a product out there and it's been around since 1969! Now that I know the name of it, there are other videos out there I just did not find them when I was searching. 🥰

Thank you so much! I'm happy you found it useful.😊

[@TrimzzDotNet]

I actually use white drapery lining that is a Poly/cotton and works great with Bubble Jet.

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

That’s good to know. I’ve had people ask what type of fabrics work and I’ve only used cotton.

[@RaindropLila7]

Thank you so much for sharing! I am excited to try this out sometime!

Fantastic!

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@Ann-eh7ii]

Great video Sherri. I suspect the commercial paper backed fabric I used was pretreated in a similar manner as I never had bleeding problems. ❤❤❤

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

That would make sense and then justify the cost. I’ll have to check it out. 🥰

[@Ann-eh7ii]

I ordered the products thru you as I would guess the cost per sheet is still cheaper. ❤

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

I just saw this response so sorry....there was also a tip from someone about using alum and baking soda so I guess I need to get back to experimenting as that would be even cheaper.

[@Atcraftcity]

Hi! Great video and thanks for sharing!! I went to Amazon and checked it out. The bottle label says to drip dry and not wring it out…it may be important so thought I’d mention it. Have a great day!

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thanks for the info! I rechecked my bottle and it doesn't say that at all. I've printed several now and it doesn't seem to matter that I wrung them out and dried them in my dryer. 🥰

[@Atcraftcity]

@@heartandsoulfuldesign They may have updated the instructions on the bottle. I just saw it yesterday on amazon and enlarged the label so I could read it. Glad it worked for you! Maybe someone complained to the company. You’re also applying it to journals and not rewashing it either , like a quilt. I love your slow stitch journals!

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

I don’t know that’s so weird. I ordered mine from Amazon the 32 oz bottle just a few days ago. Oh well…at least it worked 😆

[@CristinaAmiss]

This is wonderful and also why I love mixed media art we all have so much to learn from each other!! I often tie dye fabrics and clothing. I'm wondering, instead of using that bubble jet product, if soda ash or baking soda could be used as the ink absorbing medium for this type of project not just soak dying. Typically with tie dying the fabric/garment is still damp with the baking soda or soda ash solution when the dye is applied but I wonder if I could soak it, dry and then print on it. Will definitely have to give it a try!

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you. I have no idea about trying baking soda but you'll have to let me know if it works. 🥰

[@cherylmolesky]

You can make your own bubble jet stuff with alum and soda ash. As this dyer said you are basically mordanting the fabric to accept the dye. You can Google recipes. Great idea with the sticker sheets!

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you! I will have to check it out and maybe do another video update because I did have someone comment that they can't access Bubble Jet where they live and wanted to know if alum would work. I know nothing about mordanting so I will have to experiment. Thanks for the tip.

[@6862211]

Awesome video! Thanks!

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you for watching!

[@caeciliaderrick8741]

Great video and thanknyou for sharing this information with us. One quick question. What gabric should I use for this process? A light otton fabric or linnen?

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you for watching! You want to use 100% cotton. Blends won't work. I prefer just thin cotton and usually just buy the cheapest or even cut up old sheets. If you have some 100% cotton linen that you're wanting to repurpose I would just make sure it's not too thick for your printer and get all the wrinkles out.

[@paulad2527]

[@williamdoust]

Hi, great video, I've looked into this in the past, but no other KZbinr went into as much gold plated nuggets of detail 🥳🏆🎖️👏😅. Q. Could you advise about a method of thickening the fabric to use in msking non dtich owncil csses with fabric glue? - Is there like a way of fusing the oeinted fsbric with another bscking fabric? I hope that I don't have to siak the whole bdcking fabric wirh fsbric glue. Thanks 🙏👍😊😅

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you. I think I was able to decipher your question. There are fusible backings that you can just iron onto your printed fabric. There is also fusible webbing material also sold by the yard that you could use to fuse two fabrics together again with an iron. This would allow your pencil case to have a decorative lining. Good luck!

[@Vanieko]

Omg thank you

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

You are very welcome! I can't believe it took me so long to learn about this myself. ☺️

[@billholder253]

How are you using the backing, over & over, from the Online Sticker paper?

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you for watching. If you remove the sticker backing from the printed fabric it still has some tack so you can usually reuse it at least three maybe four times.

[@billholder253]

@@heartandsoulfuldesign thank you, I was lost in the 'imagination world". Now I'm back in focus.

[@TrimzzDotNet]

I use a cookie sheet and lay pieces flat and do about 5 at a time.

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Great tip! Thank you ☺️

[@Atcraftcity]

can you coffee dye the fabric before or after applying bubble 2000?

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

That's a great question. I have not tried that. If I were doing that experiment, I think I would try doing the coffee dying first, then apply the Bubble 2000 and then copy. Good luck! 🥰

[@Whenstarsaligned]

Do you think this could work on monks cloth? Great video BTW!

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you. I've never tried to print on something that thick. I don't know if it comes in different weights but it seems like it would be a little too thick for me.

[@juliemayer4665]

Thank you for the video! These may be dumb questions... But are you printing then soaking in Bubble Jet, and then spraying with scotch guard? Or are these 2 different methods that will prevent the bleed? Or are you spraying with Scotch guard and then washing in Bubble jet? Haha thank you!

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you for watching. Sorry for the confusion. The Scotch Guard idea was from my previous video. I discovered the Bubble Jet after and it is a much better method. You treat the fabric first with the Bubble Jet, then print, then you can use the Bubble Jet Rinse after printing if you want. I hope this helps.

[@juliemayer4665]

@@heartandsoulfuldesign Yes that its a great clarification! Thank you!

[@TrimzzDotNet]

I personally think that putting g the sheets i. they dryer makes the colors not print as vibrant. Air Drying I think is best.

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you for the tip. I guess I hadn't noticed because I personally prefer a distressed, vintage, and even faded look.

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

[@micheleclark1895]

Using ANY kind of scotch guard product or aerosol glue will cause you to inhale PFOA’s - and they NEVER leave your body. As much as I like the idea, I can’t use that product to seal. Liquid glues, and sealers contain the pfoa’s and don’t put them in the air but can contaminate wherever they r thrown away.

[@heartandsoulfuldesign]

Thank you for your input. If you watch the next video there is a better product called Bubble Jet. It's not a spray but a liquid that you pretreat the fabric with and it makes the fabric waterproof. Might be a better option for you and shouldn't be a problem if not thrown away.
