Notta. I have a question about printing photos on your computer. Is there a "softer" but better version or way to do it without using those printer sheets we get at the fabric store. I used one of those with a pic for a little boy I did a quilt for and the picture is almost gone. You can't hardly see it. I'm just wondering if there's a better way to put pictures on fabric so they won't fade away quickly. I thnk his mother washed it in the washer but I'm sure she didn't use anything that should have caused that pic to wash out so bad. Ideas?

One man had his prize racehorse on fabric he used to upholster chairs for his office. Her prices are realistic if you want to design your own creation.

I would not even look at a fabric at that price.
One of my quilting friends is realy into app.and was hunting for a swade in black and was told that it would be $79 a yard,So I started looking localy and found it for $ 10 a yard. as she only needs 3/4 yard this price really apealed to her. :thumbup:

I honestly can't imagine the pricing is for cotton quilting fabrics tho' which would explain the prices being charged.
