Printing on Fabric using Freezer Paper with FREE download 

Wouldn't that be beautiful to take your mothers and grandmother’s hand written recipes and put them to cloth. ❤️

Oh my goodness, this is incredible! I was trying to order a label on Etsy for $15.00 and it would not ship on time for my gift quilt. I watched your video 3 hours ago and one trip for the freezer paper and my label is done and attached!!! Thank you so much!

Lisa, I am a newbie making quilts for my grand nieces and nephews after 39 years of teaching. I am now 81 years of age. You are one of my most favorite teachers. I love your sense of adventure and creativity. I used your method of creating a label for a washable quilt. It was perfect. Thank you.

I am so excited I found you! I am going to decorate a tablecloth from the books that we have read for my homeschool kids' book club. I am planning on ironing the books on first and then secure with a hand stitch. I just printed out Felicity and it worked! Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!! I want to hug you!

Lisa, I used this technique to print color photos of my two granddaughters on fabric. I used the photos as appliqués stitched into the scenes of a cloth panel children’s story book “Baby’s Day”. I also added top stitching for texture on each page of the book. I gave it to my daughter as a gift and she loved it. She has an art background and was very impressed with the results. I want to thank you for sharing this method! I will use it often💖

I want to thank you for causing my sleep deprivation - way to many great ideas to use this technique wilth for me to sleep. Its been 3 days now since I first watched the video. Let the fun and creativity begin lol.

Lisa. Thank you so much.... Prayer shawls are popular for cancer patients, but going through this journey myself i find a lap quilt is just as comforting as a shawl, if not more so. It has been my desire for some time to make some of the squares with positive, uplifting messages and incorporating them into the pattern. NOW I KNOW HOW TO DO IT!!! I can hardly wait to get started! Your tutorial is REALLY an answer to prayer.

I have looked for a year on how to print on fabric. I knew there had to be a way. Finally after a year I have found you. Absolutely PERFECT explain and video. I tried it today and worked PERFEFCT. I'm so excited. I paint on fabric which turnes our beautiful. Thank you so much helping me. Have a great day.

I am a printer repair technician and would have never tried this because I know there is a possibility of the printer catching on fire. ( At least that is what I have always been told.) I do know that some fabric with glue as a binder are far to viscose and will run into a laser printer when heated, ruining a printer, however I never thought to use freezer paper. It is 2: 30 AM and I am going into my computer room and print out family photos on good cotton fabric using your freezer paper method and my color laser printer. I'll call in sick tomorrow! Thank you for being so brave and experimenting! I can also print out my logo on fabric and use it on everything from aprons to hats! You are super!.

Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial. I was just about to buy some (very expensive) special paper online to print quilt labels, when I noticed someone in the comments mentioning freezer paper. I searched online for the technique and your video came up. I already have a roll of freezer paper so I'm all set. Thank you again for taking the time to show us how it's done.

Thank you, Lisa. I can't wait to try this. I have wanted to make a family tree and put names on the leaves for family members. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This actually gives me a great idea for a memorial project using my mother's and grandmother's recipes.

I realize you posted this quite a few years ago - but I'm just trying it out now - and it worked great!! Thanks for sharing this - great step by step instructions. Much appreciated!!

I am only a few minutes in to your tutorial and I have to say this is one of the most detailed and thorough tutorials I have seen. I wanted to thank you for the time you spent and for the generosity in sharing with all of us..

Just a hint: When peeling the freezer paper from the fabric you were concerned about not distorting the fabric. I noticed that you were peeling it on a 45° angle which is exactly on the bias of the fabric and most likely to cause distortion even when you are careful. After you begin the peeling process at the corner try going across the paper edge so that you are peeling with the lengthwise (or crosswise) grain of the fabric. This would prevent pulling against that bias grain and distorting the fabric.

Now I can have any fabric design for my Barbie dolls! Yess!!

Thank you! I have watched several fabric printing videos and no one had explained the differences between the supplies, techniques, and printers until yours! 😊

The last time I did pictures to fabrics was in the 90's and I am so impressed with the advancement of technology how simple this is. I cannot wait to start my project.

That's genius! I can just imagine how many different things a person could do if that were possible... Wow. Thank you so much and God bless you!

Just...WOW! My mind is blown! I just saw freezer paper in the store today for the first time, and had NO IDEA that it could do this. Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so very much for this video. I made the label for my very first grandchild and long awaited grand-daughter's quilt that I made for her. So nice to be able to include everything that I thought was important on it such as my mother (the great grandma) had given me the fabric several years ago. And the quilters name as well. I was also able to include a picture of one of the main elements of the fabric in full color on the label! I used a Samsung Laser printer. Thank you so much. I only needed to watch the video three times! I'm in my 60's and was scared I would miss a point. I will be using this technique again! Thank you!

You blow me away with all your information. Thank you, Lisa!

This method for printing on fabric is brilliant and awesome. Thank you so much for sharing!

This helps me a lot. I was in the middle of searching where I can get my business name printed on a fabric tag then I saw this. Supper easy and inexpensive. Thank you! ❤️

So happy to find you and your wonderful tutorial. I nearly spent $$$ on specialty printable fabric "paper" but waited for a coupon... now all I have to do is get the freezer paper and begin my Christmas projects. Thank you for speaking so clearly and concisely, to the point, and for the supporting demo. Thank you again for sharing. Can't wait to get started.

Thank you so much. I’m not a quilter, but I am a mixed media artist and this will come in very handy and inexpensive. God bless you! 💕💕💕

Like so many others, I would like to thank you so much Lisa for this clip which opens up so many creative possibilities. So easy and so inexpensive but really rewarding.

I went out and got me some freezer paper right away and this worked so fabulously! I can now personalize coordinate each of my quilt labels with each quilt. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!🎉

Thank you for your very well done tutorial. I just finished printing 16 panels for a quilt my wife is doing for our granddaughter's high school graduation. As part of our experiments, we tried using cotton sateen fabric thinking that the finer thread count might produce a more well defined print - it didn't 😞, so we went with cotton muslin. We have an HP Laser Jet printer model M283cdw. I used the "Color Laser Matte 105g" setting for the paper, which seemed to produce the best print. Since the prints are all going to be in 6" square panels, I defined my own paper type of "Quilt 6.50 x 6.50" which gives us a print centered on a 6" panel with 1/4" left for the seams all around. Again, Thank You!

Brilliant!!! I have started using this transfer method for hand embroidery patterns. There is no fading or fighting with fabric taped to the window, etc. thank you so much for the tutorial.

You are such a good teacher! I've been wanting to use printed fabric for labels but only have a laser printer. Thanks so much for showing me it can be done.

You are a godsend, Lisa! Thank you so very much for showing step by step how to print fabric with a laser printer! Excellent tutorial!

I tried this tonight and was so excited with how it turned out! Now I have a simple way of adding a label to my quilts. ☺️❤️

The best tutorial I have seen! My brain is now overload! Thank you so much for sharing this! Good video!

I love this and not only is it softer than the photo paper at our craft stores, its looks like it's much easier to peel the paper backing off!!! I have struggled so much with that on my store bought photo papers. Thank you for sharing this with us!!!

Just tried your method, although I used my Kodak Verite Craft printer which is an inkjet. It worked great, so am very happy to have tried your method of using freezer paper as the backing for fabric in a printer. Wowser!

Lisa, This was AMAZING. How much fun to make, my labels turned out perfect. Thank you for sharing this. I made so many tags in just a little while :-) . Now I am making to gift to my sister who loves to sew and adds a nice tag to her things. I really appreciate all your precise and careful instructions step by step. God Bless You.

Fabulously done! I've always wanted to create my own fabric designs & this was the best way to obtain that. Great job!

I've really enjoyed the tutorial. I have been sewing garments for years. Now retired, my plan is to venture into quilting as an addition to preserving my family ancestry. Thanks for the inspiration.

This is the best tutorial I saw. She explains a couple of steps, like cutting bonded freezer paper and fabric after fusing and using the manual load for the bonded paper/fabric into the printer. This made a big difference in my HP 7740. Many thanks

Oh I love this. What a great tutorial - timing and instructions are so well done. Thank you for taking the time to put this together and sharing it with all of us.

Awesome tutorial Lisa. Clear and concise

Gonna make something special for my granddaughter, thank you! Outstanding presentation!

Thank you so much! I wanted to attach the written history of my grandmother’s quilt for future generations. I only have a laser printer so this was perfect. Well explained and best of all it worked! I wish I could attach a picture.

Lisa, this is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this with us 💕

Thank you for showing how to print on material. ❤️ 💛 💚 💙 💜 I have so many ideas and projects! Where do I start?🙄 LOL!! 😄

Wonderful. I paint on fabric, mostly on silk, but also on cotton and synthetic. Always wanted to scale my job, and this is an awesome technic to begin and try. Thanks a lot....from Brazil 🇧🇷

I've used this technique to make quilt labels for a few years now, and they haven't washed out yet! It's a great way to add a personal touch. I've also used freezer paper as a stencil, for painting on fabric, and heat setting it (with a paper towel over the paint when you first heat set it), and it works out beautifully! You did a great job with this tutorial!

Thank you so much, Lisa! This makes total sense. My husband, before his recent retirement, was a computer/printer repair technician. Many times, he would come home with toner on his clothes from a printer or copier he had been working on. We ALWAYS tried to make sure his clothes were washed in cold water, because if they were washed in warm/hot, the toner was permanently bonded to the fabric in his clothes. Believe me, I've NEVER been able to get set-in toner out of his clothes. I don't know why this never dawned on me. I love to put photos in my quilts, but have always worried about the photos fading too much in the wash. This is such a great idea! Now to decide on which laser printer to purchase. Decisions, decisions. Lol

That's awesome. I had no idea you could do this with laser or freezer paper. It's brilliant, and the type setting is amazing. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!!

And thank you again. I just tried this following your technique and my labels came out perfectly. This was so easy. I just made a rectangle with my last name just to test the process and since I now know how great these turn out, next time I will add a colorful image.

This gives me so many limitless ideas. Thank you soooooo much❤

This is literally a lifesaver! I have struggled with the label making packages getting old and then the paper won’t come off. This will solve my problem!!!! 💛🤗🎈. Thank you!!!

Thank you for sharing this!!! I did it last night and had no problems! I'm so excited that I can make my own custom personal quilt labels now!! Never thought it could be so easy , and so much cheaper than buying 2 sheets for $10

unbelievable!!! you've opened up another huge world of projects!!!!! Thank you! Who knew you could use Freezer paper thus? You Did!!!

This is so cool, I've been wanting to make a personalized quilt but wasn't sure how I wanted to do it but this is it, thanks so much.

Omg this is such cool tip!!! This opened up a whooooole new world for my crafting!!! Thank you for posting this!!!

Thank you so much. Just exactly what I've wanted to print simple black texture lines on plain fabrics. This is for use on small gifts and craft items, and will be so helpful. Thinking I may print some of my grandma's hand-written recipes onto fabric for an apron.

Genius! I’ve just started making my first quilt - I could totally incorporate some personalised patches to it! Thank you so much.

Great idea of the card transfer. I have some of my husband's cards and even or marriage vows that would go wonderful on a pillow I'm making it of some of his shirts. Im also making quilts and teddy bears out of his clothes. I have made a purse out if his old levis. I would love this idea. Thanks so very very much.

You rock!! This is amazing. Thank you for the tutorial.

Thank you. Really appreciate your video. I find it really helpful to use a lint roller over the fabric before feeding it into the printer. Also the freezer paper is reusable many times and its cut to the right size 😊

Whoo hoo! Just tried this tonight and I love it! I printed the first initial of my grandkids on the fabric so I can attempt to use the sewing machine to embroider . . .

Thank you so much for your mama’s (wisdom). I am so grateful to have found you ad your method. I am a bag maker and was trying to find ways of making a label for my products. I really appreciate your kindness and very educational tutorial. Mahalo.

This looks awesome! I’m so excited to give this method a try with my printer. I am also a bit of a rebel; I love experimenting and figuring out how to do something different. I’m going to try printing on some knit fabric that will become the bodice of dresses for my granddaughters. Thanks for the inspiration 😊

Ive just watched several videos on printing on fabric and yours is the BEST!!!! thankyou!!!

Thanks for all the description in the beginning. I have never tried printing on fabric so needed to know all this. Have never quilted either but doing memory quilts from my mother’s things for the family I love that sewing machine clock behind you too!

This is different than other wave stitch tutorials! It’s a really end result! Thank you!!!

Thank you! I’m looking forward to using this method for photos I’ll be using in my next memory quilt. But first, practice, practice,practice!

Wow! I have avoided so many ideas for printing on fabric because I only have a laser printer!! Trying this asap!

I followed your tutorial to the letter and IT WORKS!! I'm so excited that I've finally found a solution for my art and images! I'm in the middle of testing different fabrics and washing them. Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial! Although I am not a quilter I do make a living by selling at markets. I'm SUPER excited. This will save me loads of $$!

Thanks, Lisa. You've demystified printing on to fabric with a laser printer. Hadn't realised I could do it. Briliant.

You are the best! Thank you so much for giving us permission to use the laser printer 😊 super excited to test mine

wow, you have my mind doing dances with all the possibilities this opens up to me. Thank you for another great video. I will not be able to sleep to night because my brain will be on overload.

Stumbled onto this when I was looking for ruler quilting. WOW.....great job. I wish I had found this before I printed my memory quilt design onto purchased printer fabric. My next project will definitely be done using your method.

very thorough, and helpful to see how the materials were handled from start to finish. What I've been missing out on all this time! I only wanted to print my own wear labels on clothing Ive made or replace missing size labels for reselling clothes, but now, theres so much more I want to try!

Hi, Thank you this is truly amazing.

Good video! I can think of all kinds of uses for this.

Thanks, what great information. And it also looks easy and inexpensive. I'm not a quilter although I do love to sew. I'm an artist and make copper jewelry. What a fun way to make custom jewelry bags or for a collage. I'm inspired to start a new project

Thank you! Great great tutorial! I’m wanting to use printed fabric that is unique and special in my junk journals and this looks like the way to do that!💕

Thank you for a very clear and informative tutorial. I have thought about doing this for such a long time but never got around to it, you know how it is when you are engrossed in your sewing 😀. I came across you by accident but am now a subscriber and will be checking out your other tutorials, love your style and anything to do with sewing and quilting. The mug rug is gorgeous xx

Really happy I found you on here! I have subscribed. I am at a point in my life, retired, where I can learn the things I haven't had time to. Looking forward to exploring your videos.

It worked wonderfully! I used MS Word to create my own label and printed it to add to a quilt I gave my granddaughter. Thank you so much for the video!

You have such a great teaching acumen. Anyway, I also sew as a hobby been doing it in the last 40 years since i bought my first sewing machine after migrating to this great country of ours from Asia. My mother was a fashion designer and dressmaker in a small rural town we lived she still used the old Singer machine with the foot paddle. LOL. I was not allowed to touch it or learn to sew except by just watching her. When I came to this country and worked as a health care professional the sewing machine was a dream that became my reality. And I self-taught myself to learn everything my mom did. Including designing. Now I want to incorporate personalized texts into my designs as gifts to family and friends. I will be making pairs of matching pillowcases, grocery bags, and throw pillow cushion covers with my friends' names and their favorite Bible verses. So I just needed to know how to transfer texts into my creation and you did me tremendous help. Thanks a million. A whole new world of creative ideas has opened up for me. You helped make that happen!!!

when you go to remove the freezer paper try warming the paper a little not too hot will help release the freezer paper.

Great Tutorial... Thank YOU for sharing this.

This is a great way for me to print my own labels for my crochet projects. Love it.

This is a great tutorial! It triggered a thought for my next quilt...a little sentimental journey, so to speak, on one or more of my blocks! Thank you Lisa!!

first off, i envy you, your sewing room! secondly, i am 'sew' in trouble with this! (and i have you to thank!)

My mom used wax paper in the 50's and 60's to make patches and do applique.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Thank You for sharing your image printing on fabric using freezer paper process! Accessible products might be the answer to getting these ideas out of my head and manifested on material!

It's amazing what you can learn. It has given me an idea for a Christmas present so thank you for your detailed demonstration really enjoyed.

Thank you sister in Christ! God bless!

This is brilliant. Thank you very much.

I made 6 lbels for Quilts of Valor and they turned out just amazing! Thanks so much.

TY so very much! I so in need to do this for a memory quilt.

What type fabric were you using to print on? Was it a basic cotton fabric? This was a great tutorial. You did a very good job! Thanks for sharing.

I will be trying this for my quilt labels. Thank you, Lisa!!

I have used this method quite a few times since watching your video.and printed out enough blocks to make 2 large quilts. So far I have not had any complaints. Thank you so much. It has been more economical this way.
