Another fabric printing tip
with Christmas comeing up wouldn't it be nice if those ribbons could be personalised with the recipiants name.
How to do it is easy.
first off you need to create a whole page of names done in a simple font at about 14point. Once thats done. use your computer to flip the entire so its reversed.
now all you need to do is find a shop that prints useing lazor print.
This is important as normal ink jet will not work.
Run home with your treasure and find that plain ribbon. Next you have to get that craft pressing device (normall called and iron) and a nice firm surface. cut out the name needed and place it face down onto the ribbon. cover with some parchemnt paper or silicon sheet and with a hot iron PRESS down. This heats the lazor print and allowes it to be melted and transfered onto the ribbon. allow it to cool before removing the paper.
Vey cheap book markers can be created this way to mark a special occasion and used as placemarkers on a table. I have also used this in cards, so makeing them that bit more personal.
I hope this will cause another creative streak to get loose

Thank you for this information.
DHDon has a laser printer for his laptop. It's only black and white but I'm going to get a file ready and send it to him to print out for me.
I expect this will work in colour as well as b&w?????

IE if you want a background to a butterfly on a quilt then use this technique to place it on the plain fabric light coloured linen printed with a black flower and then the butterfly embroidered on it is just one simple idea for you to work with. classy.... try it on a T shirt.
