This is a great series of videos and it answered all of my questions!!! Thank you for sharing! You are an excellent instructor and talk at a good speed-which I really appreciate!!
Lisa, I had to remove my P44f stabilizer to sublimate. The stabilizer went all bubbly in the heat press. I stabilized after the heat press and it worked fine! Thanks for all your help.
Wonderful Video Demonstration. I use to own and operate a Printery in WA State, and catered to a lot of wonderful quilters who I would do Memory Quilt Blocks for on my Xerox Color Printer with a special fabric paper. This is so much better now and will last a lot longer. Its the next best thing to Silk Screen Printing for permanent and fade resistant printing. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this series! I am following your directions exactly. But I seem to be running short on interfacing for my last few pictures for ,y quilt. Do you think it would be okay to piece interfacing for a photo block?
OMGoodness, You will never know how much I needed this series. I have had everything to do this process for a year now and was too intimidated to try it. Thank you, thank you, thank you........
Thank you friend of the videos. I’m excited to try this since I have everything to do it with but I’m so overwhelmed with quilts that I’m working on right now. but I’m gonna have to wait a little bit before I can get started but I know who to call if I need help.
I have truly enjoyed this series of 5 videos been very informative and very interesting I'd like to say a big thank you for taking the time to do this.
Thanks Lisa for showing us in awesome detail how to print photos on fabric. This was extremely helpful. Now if I were 20 years younger, this would be my next hobby. As always, a pleasure listening to your soft spoken voice, and cute laugh. Berta
Thanks Lisa for doing this series. I wasn't going to get into sublimation, but you have convinced me that I need to add this to my crafting. I enjoy personalizing projects and this method will add so much more. Blessings❣
A fun chat and great series! After a busy day in my sewing room and filming, I get to sit and watch you work while I hand quilt! I hope you have a lovely day ahead. Thank you for posting this video!
A couple of questions if I may: if you didn't use the inks that came with the 15000 EcoTank, were you able to purchase new empty cartridges to fill with the Hiipoo inks or did you somehow empty the original ones? And I presume you can only make one transfer from one print? It really is bringing professional artwork into the amateur/home market! Truly fascinating!
The printer comes empty, but with ink to fill it after unboxing. Instead of using the regular inks to fill the tanks....I filled with sublimation ink Instead. You can really only get one quality print with the image.....however you can get a faded print if you were to use the print again.
I emptied my original ink bottles that came with my printer and then added my Hiipo sublimation ink into those bottles, then I put the ink that came with my printer into those bottles and saved it BUT I added labels on those bottles to be able to save for my other Epson printer that uses plain ink. Hiipo does make their ink compatible with Epson printers but it is much more expensive than their sublimation refills. I just open the bottles I have converted to Epson sublimation ink and keep those bottles to refill with. I do not have the bigger one I have one I purchased from Sam's Club Epson 2760 @ $249.00 it does a fantastic job for family and friends and quilt making for me.
Hello Lisa! Thank you so much for this video. I’m a fashion student and for a project I was thinking to make my own pattern by printing a huge photo on a top. Do you think that with sublimation printing the image will crack on the fabric if I stretch it wearing it? Or it gets deep into the fabric? (Sorry my english might be not understandable) thank you so much sorry for the disturb!!
Hi Lisa. I love your videos. You are very thorough and explain steps well. I do have a question. On the photo you printed above, when you heat press it, the photo seems mirrored on the finished project. When you started on the project you were on the right side of the other person, but when you pressed you were on the left. I'm just confused about the mirroring.
I have watched many of your videos and I want to tell you they are all excellent. I have a few questions: I am working on my first tee shirt quilt and I am planning on using pictures. I currently do not have the funds to do sublimation, I noticed there is colorfast paper that can be used. What are the big differences in sublimation compared to using colorfast paper? What to both ways look like after 1 wash or many washes? Is there any way to shrink the cost of sublimation (I.e.) do you have to have a heat press?
The June Taylor colorfast fabric sheets work pretty well, Ice used them many times. Depending on your printer, they xan produce nice looking results. IMO, the fabric seems a bit "stiff" even after washing and I have noticed some fading of the pictures. I would say yes, you have to have some kind of heatpress for sublimation BECAUSE you need specific temperatures and they get hotter than an iron. Have you looked into outsourcing sublimation? Along with many other, I provide sublimation as a service over on Etsy.
Hello. Do you ever cut out around a photo? For example, black cat on white background. Do you cut around the cat or just leave it square or rectangle? Thanks
Awesome series on sublimating photos on 'POLYESTER" FABRIC. I really enjoyed it and you're a great instructor. Thank you.
Thank you❤

Where do you get your poly fabric now, and do you have a link? The link displayed is sold out and not sure if coming back. Love your series!

sublimation doesn't crack or peel :) It actually dyes the fabric which is awesome :)
Hi Lisa. Do you have a video of how you quilted it? Thanks.
Can these only be heat set with the press? or can we use an iron?
Where did you get the poly fabric.?
There is a link in the description box :)
If u can't find p44 is there another interfacing u can use?
Where do you get your paper to print on ??
I can see the little glue dots from the interfacing on the right side of the fabric- is that normal?
@beefstuy I don't ever see them, what type interfacing and fabric are you using?

Hi Trisha, when doing sublimation, you mirror image the design when you print, that way when you press, your image will be the right side up ♡

Lisa, do you prewash the polyester fabric before you sublimate?
I do not :)
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead thank you! This video series was very helpful.
Are you saying that the Hammermill paper, plain brite paper not a sublimation paper is what you like?
I like both :)
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead I purchased the brite yesterday, going to give it a try tomorrow!
@@sewnana1990 awesome, let me know what you think
