Turn your photos and digital images into stitched treasures!
I love nothing more than to capture moments in time with my camera, manipulate those photos, and then print them onto fabric to create digital art cloth. I then stitch and embellish these fabric images to create my own unique textile art.
Learn how to print your own photos and images onto fabric and have them turn out perfect every time! Fabric prints can be incorporated into memory quilts, textile and quilt art, wearable art, photo quilts, and mixed media art – your creative options are endless.

Recommended Inkjet Printers
An inkjet printer is a requirement for this workshop and although you can print on fabric using any type of inkjet printer, some printers are better than others. The information below gives you a general idea of what type of printer you will need to have. Additional information and supply list will be provided after you sign up for the class.
Special Note
Although I’ve been printing images and photos onto fabric for about 15 years and my own printers have never suffered a permanent injury due to problems such as paper jams, if you are at all concerned about potential damage to your printer, then you should purchase an inexpensive printer for the purpose.
Recommended
the paper feeds from a tray located at the back of the printer in a downwards angle, curves slightly and then exits at the front.
the paper feeds from the back (or the front) of the printer and exits at the front (or the back) traveling in a straight line.
Not Recommended
U-Shaped Feed…
the paper feeds from a horizontal tray located at the front or on top of the printer, feeds into the printer and makes a u-turn curve in order to exit.
Note: This type of printer is not recommended because it is more prone to paper jams and poor print quality than the other two types. However if you are confident about using it, you are more than welcome to use it for this class.
Espon XP-440 (Amazon associate link)
I use and recommend this Epson XP-440 printer. It prints up to 8-1/2″ wide and up to 44″ long and it uses Durabrite (pigment) ink so your prints are permanent and water-resistant. This printer is inexpensive and robust and is a good starter printer for printing on fabric, as well as everyday use.
