Thank you. My granddaughter wants a photo quilt for Christmas and this looks to be a wonderful solution for me to accomplish that. I have never quilted before so this will definitely be an adventure!
Thanks for sharing all of these products and demonstrating them. I dont quilt per se but use the techniques in garments and totes. I’m moving into a bit more crafting ideas of phot transfer and never heard of some of these products. I’m definite going to look at the Tap product. Seems lie it would cover a wide range of what I want to do!
This is a really helpful tutorial. I would never have known about these products. I will be watching most of your other tutorials. Thanks so much for creating the series!
This looks as though it would be perfect to make memory quilts with. I would like your thoughts please. Going to use paper size sheets quilted with solid squares in-between. Then tack to cotton batting back. They should tack well shouldn't they? This will be my first quilt.
Thank you for the instructions. Little confused about the "TAP" product. Couldn't quite catch how the photo got on the TAP surface prior to transferring it to fabric. Other than that (and I will watch it a few times to see if it makes more sense), loved it all.
This is a great tutorial Heather - thank you! I am so disappointed that TAP, Sewpaintable, and Golden Digital Ground have been discontinued. Would you consider creating an updated video with alternate method(s). Also have you tried inkAID, and if so what is your opinion of that product?

Here is a tutorial with several different methods for transferring images: www.nationalquilterscircle.com/video/how-to-transfer-images-to-fabric-003580/
Hi, You may want to practice and try it out with a small sample piece first, but yes, you should be able to use regular waxed paper. Cheers, Ashley National Quilters Circle
Hello Heather: in your article you mention the "metal shim". Is this something that can be bought at a fabric store? I'm a photographer who is always looking for new ways to present my art and stumbled across this video.
I am wanting to put images on some burlap. Wondering if with those pencils you could put your image under the fabric and trace it onto your fabric. Are those pencils okay to paint right onto the fabric?
Hi, Unfortunately burlap is not a fabric that I have ever tested this technique on. I would recommend either consulting the manufacturer of the pencil to see what fabrics they recommend using. Or, simply testing it out on a small scrap of burlap to see if you get the desired look. Cheers, Ashley
Hi, You can use some of the same techniques, however because of the nap on velvet it is going to be difficult to transfer an image as it won't really lay flat. I may consider using an alternative fabric. Cheers, Ashley National Quilters Circle
TAP was a great transfer paper. However, it has been discontinued and the woman who created says that there are no plans to manufacture it. If you do find it online, make sure that it's not too old. The medium on it can get dry and gets crumbly and it won't work anymore.
Well that is disappointing! Looked like the best way to do the transferring. Any suggestions on what to use instead? Have never done photo transferring to fabric but would like to try. Thanks!

Hello Maria. Photo transfer paper can be found at many quilting and craft stores, online through sites like Amazon or directly from the manufacturers sites like Jacquard:www.jacquardproducts.com/inkjet-fabric-sheets.htmlJacquard Products - Inkjet Fabric Sheets www.jacquardproducts.com Inkjet Fabric Sheets. Anything you create or have on your computer, such as drawings or photographs, you can print on our cotton, silk, and organza fabric sheets.Hope this helps!
Is it because I just don't know enough about the products she's talking aboutthat I'm totally lost halfway through this video? I'm looking for a way to transfer a fairly simple black image onto burlap. maybe a rooster or some dragonflies or something fairly simple and straightforward that I would print from my inkjet printer and probably get it from a site like graphics fairy.
+Brent Hutchinson Hi Brent. The only technique that works well for garments that will be laundered is the product, T.A.P. . It comes with great instructions and is sold in quilt and craft stores. It's licensed by C&T Publishing.
This is an amazing tutorial. I just came from a video that was telling people to run fabric through a regular printer. Your video has amazing advice.
Glad it was helpful!

I am wondering if you can use TAP to transfer on needlepoint or cross stitch canvas. They have holes in them.
can you use an inkjet printer
Dang! Both TAP and Sewpaintable have been discontinued!
I still see TAP on Amazon
@@playtone229 thanks but I’m on an amazon diet 😊
What type of paper is this
Does it matter what sewing machine needle you use when sewing through the metal? THX!
I would recommend using a 'heavy duty' needle or a 'jeans' needle.
What is the the transfer called "taps"?
I have a question... I have to run my glossy photo thru a color laser printer before doing the photo transfer onto fabric????? Thanks for your help!
Use inkjet printer, not laser
Where can I find sew paintable. Which company it belongs to? Thanks!
which paper matirial do you use when whating to print
Hi Ahmed. You can use several different types of fabric for this technique. One of the products used is a fabric paper called SewPaintable, and another is a cotton fabric with a paper backing made by Jacquard:www.jacquardproducts.com/inkjet-fabric-sheets.html
ahmed brek Unfortunately, they discontinued SewPaintable a number of years ago.
No one has said yet how do you sharpen the pencils?
Hi,
When not in use, these wet pencils are very similar to regular colored pencils and can be sharpened like a regular pencil before being dipped in the water.
Cheers,
Ashley
Can I do this on felt? I want to do a quiet book.
Unfortunately I have never tried this technique on felt so I can't say for sure whether it would work or not. I would recommend trying out a small image on a scrap of fabric first.
Years ago. I put photos on a quilt I did, but I’ve forgotten how I did that. And how do you sharpen the pencils? Nobody will tell me.

This is a good project but the volume is so low! Increase your volume while taping!
ooo she shouldnt dip her pencils straight in the water it damages them, she should colour first then go over with a wet brush. lovely work though
Sarah Fields ghhhjkllppiuhl
Sarah Fields definitely! The wood in the pencils will warp over time. Not to mention the degradation of the “lead” since they are water soluble.
Can you make shirts?
