Description
How to print pictures on fabric for the frame designs (not sublimation)
Materials:
- Beloved photo (digital or ability to scan)
- Printable fabric that works for your type of printer. I used Crafter’s Images PhotoFabric for inkjet printers (I got mine from Joann’s). Purchased printable fabric comes with a paper backing to enable it to get through the printer.
Step 1:
To “audition” your photo for the frame, I print out the pdf that comes with the design and cut out the center to make the template to see how your picture will look.
Step 2:
Print out the picture in the approximate size of your frame on regular paper (I printed in black & white so not to waste ink) & try it out using the to see if the picture fits or needs to be adjusted. It’s much easier to make adjustments at this point rather than wasting your printable fabric.
Step 3:
After you are happy with the size & how it fits in the frame, follow the instructions for your printable fabric and adjust your printer settings appropriately.
Print out your photo! I still like to make sure that the final product looks like I wanted.
Step 4:
Most printable fabrics suggest letting the ink dry for a period of time, rinsing & then ironing. Once I’ve done that, I also fuse woven fusible stabilizer on the back before using it in the design.
Do not cut the picture to the size of the opening of the frame before you stitch. You need at least 1/2” larger around the needed dimensions and you will cut the excess when you do the appliqué step of the design.
Step 5:
Stitch out your design with your printed photo and enjoy your new framed picture!
