Valerie on Jul 09, 2013I found this method on the website Quilting Daily. It uses Citrasolv Natural cleaner and degreaser. Print an image onto plain copy paper using a laser or toner based copy machine. Cut the copy paper around the image, and place the paper face down onto the fabric you have chosen. Dab a small amount of Citrasolv onto a foam brush. Apply the Citrasolv to the back of the copy paper, holding the paper tightly or taping the paper down to prevent it from shifting. The Citrasolv will immediately saturate the paper, and the image will appear on the fabric. Only a very small amount of Citrasolv is needed - just enough to moisten the paper but not to saturate it. Burnish the back of the paper with a bone folder or back of a spoon to transfer the image. Be sure to work on a smooth surface to ensure a crisp transfer. Remove and discard the paper, and allow the fabric to dry before using it.Helpful Reply
