Sue, no I bought the prepared for dye and plan on doing the paper myself. I have been successful with cotton, we'll see how it works. I may end up using some kind of temporary fusible stabilizer...it's all an experiment at this point.

I'm really curious to know how this works. I had no luck with the Citrasolv debacle. I hope to see a step-by-step process if this works. Did you buy fabric that was already fused to Freezer Paper (or some "carrier" paper)?

Thanks, Beverly and Robin. Ellie already has her first quilt. It's in my photos. I have about a gazillion more in my head, and fabric for about 5 of them!

Love your new avatar, Susan!!!! For those who don't know, Susan just became a grandma for the first time. She's holding her DGD Ellie.

Thanks Sue. I just went and looked and she had some nice hints. She uses Spoonflower instead of printing it herself, which isn't a bad option, and I just looked. They will print Radiance. So now I know it can be done, I think I'll experiment with my own printer first. If it doesn't work well, I'll go that route. :)

It seems to me that I remember Jane Dunnewold talking about this in her TQS show. She loves silk.

Have any of you ever tried to print on Cotton/Silk Radiance? :unsure: I'm thinking of giving it a try because I'm designing a new quilt that I need to print some small pieces for applique and I'm wondering if that would work. If so, do you have any tips for me? I'm thinkng of backing it with freezer paper first, and I might need to buy the Prepared For Dye Radiance. What think you?
