I have tried all of the Printed Treasures products and this still remains my favorite! I've made and sold well over two dozen items using PT. It sews really well, if you treat it gently. The fabric itself is very fine, almost like a handkerchief in weight. And yes, I've had to rip it out of whatever i was working on, and it's been just fine.

I've gotten tons of compliments on how nice the customers' pictures reproduce. I've also won awards using it, so other people must like it too!

Some words of advice:
1) Print a sample of what you want to print on PT, using the regular paper setting on your printer and regular old printer paper. Mess with how it looks using regular paper before you commit to PT, as it's expensive to use.
2) Don't be afraid to cut it. I have cut it into half and quarter sheets and printed those sizes. Make sure your scissors are very sharp or use a very sharp paper cutter on the paper, not fabric side of the piece. Trim any loose threads closely.
3) After it dries, gently peel the paper off and then soak it for about 3-5 minutes in a clear or ceramic mixing bowl. Then gently press it between two kitchen towels (preferably clean ones, LOL!) Let it dry completely before you use it.
4) Allow yourself some seam allowances when you print (see No. 1) Most likely you'll need them.
5) If you're quilting and/or don't need to go through a lot of fabric, a finer needle would be advisable. My projects are placed on heavier fabric but still, needle marks are minimal.

Hope this helps!

The sheets would not feed through my Lexmark inkjet printer. I ruined three sheets before giving up. I talked to someone who shipped me another package as per the guarantee but what good are they if my printer won't work?

Since this is the first time I've used a product like this I can't compare it to anything else. I can only say it went through my Canon Pixma MP780 inkjet printer with no problems. The fabric seems fine enough to hold a decent amount of detail (depending on the resolution of the image). It sewed a little stiffly but I imagine that's characteristic of the material.

I've been using this fabric to make cloth travel books for my one year old. I upload pictures, lay everything out using Powerpoint, print to the fabric, cut, and sew together. It takes about a half an hour, and makes the LIGHTEST, MOST PACKABLE books for travel. I can pack 10 books in the space it takes to pack a t-shirt. It gets a little pricey, but when space is a premium it's worth it. "My Favorite Things," "People Who Love Me," and "Things I Like Doing" are current favorites.

I was really disappointed to find only 5 sheets in this envelop. The package picture has 'fuzzed out' the circle with '5'. When Amazon or whoever lined up the comparisons the others had 10 sheets, so I assumed! Da
This product printed well, but the photos after using the prescribed treatment are dull and look washed out. In addition the 'peeling' of the paper must be done very, very carefully. I ruined my first sheet when the sticky part of the paper could not be removed from the sheet. The whole paper must be peeled in one piece. Instructions did not outline that important point.
Thus with shipping, my cost for five sheets was actually $4 each or $5 each with the ruined first sheet. I would not order or use this product again.

The Printed Treasures printable fabric sheets I bought are so easy to use and excellent quality. The price even went down just as I ordered them, which was a huge bonus!
I have always trusted Jo Ann Fabrics to give excellent and quick service, and they certainly did not disappoint at all -- my fabric sheets arrived very quickly. Thanks!

This is a great product for quilters. Easy to use, washable and nice to work with.

Product was old, material was yellowed. Was not what I expected, I expected clean white fabric on paper as when I buy it in a store

Love this product! Not too thick like other products and goes through my printer with ease! Pictures are clear and no runs!

this was my first time using this product and it not only is very easy, but works and looks great. Will use it again.
