How to Learn About Photo Transfer to Fabric I would like to learn how to transfer photos, whether from digital images or print photos to fabrics..such as canvas bags,shirts etc. I would like to be able to provide quality transfer..so that the ink is actually tranfered to the item instead of simply an iron-on technique.

I have not yet done this but plan to do so in the near future. The quilt shops in my area offer inexpensive classes in this technique. I've also checked out books from the library on this subject so you may want to contact your local library or order a book from a bookseller. I understand it's a rather simple process and that it's lots of fun.

Olympus makes a fabric transfer that you use like their paper. They say it feels like silk. I haven't tried it. But I really like their Pictorico Photo Gallery paper, you can go to www.pictorico.com.

I created a seven-generation photo quilt using a product called Printer Fabric Sheets by June Tailor. These are 8 1/2" x 11" sheets of treated fabric on a removable paper backing that can be run through your color ink jet printer and/or copier. The fabric is washable after it's been treated, although I plan to use my quilt as a wallhanging. I set my printer on 360 dpi (high quality ink jet paper) and I was amazed at the quality of the print. I bought mine at JoAnne's. You'll really have fun with this product.
