    How did you do the pictures? Did you use fabric sheets? Did it yourself or send it out?
    I printed the pictures myself with the fabric sheets you can buy. They have fabric on one side and a paper backing on the other side. You just slide them in your printer and print whatever you want on them. I got mine at JoAnn's half off one week.

    Yes, I did the pictures myself on my home computer & printer. Used the fabric Sheets you can buy at JoAnn's, etc. Paper backing on one side and fabric on the other. I don't think it used any more ink than printing pics on photo paper. One thing I did learn about a year ago is that when you print black and white photos you use more color ink than black ink. Doesn't make sense but it's true
