Think Jill (Mom) has done this before - I'm sure it was mentioned one day.

Hi tracy

Thankyou Jean, yes..... it was me.......and it's great...available in cotton, silk wahable and non washable......they do fuzzy paper too...ideal for DH carpets......you can get it from Crafty Computer Papers And Fabrics For Inkjet And Laser Printers......

thanks i'll have a look and give it a try

Hi Tracy,

I've just used it today and it works really well.....you can have lots of fun trying out different full scale patterns and shrinking them to 1 12th scale.....

I've printed carpets onto photographic canvas, but I've not done finer fabric... before that I bought transfer paper. Both options worked well for me.

Hiya,

I've also used the products from crafty computer paper and it does work nicely. I used the cotton paper (£1-£2 per sheet, so not expensive if you're just printing weeny things for dolls houses).

I used it when I was printing off loads of photos in order to make a blanket for one of my friends. If you do use it, check it's nice and flat because if the edges are curved slightly it may jam your printer, and make sure your printer is set to best quality/photo paper....and baby-sit your printer.
