printing pictures

I went to Joann's fabrics,and purchased the special fabric for the quilt. I scanned the pictures,and printed them onto the fabric.You then pull the backing off of the pictures, after they have dried for ten minutes. After taking the back off the picture,the next step in the process is to iron the picture. After removing the backing, and ironing the next step is to rinse the pictures in cold water. After rinsing the pictures in cold water you then lay them flat to dry, and the next step is to gently dab the pictures with a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. After all of these processes are done there are only two left you have to iron the fabric angain to make sure that all of the moisture is comletely out, and finally you can sew the picture into your project. The rinsing and final ironing are to make sure that your photo is colorfast, but always follow the maunfaturers directions on whatever packages you pick up because the can be diffrent.
