Quilt Savvy: Fallert's Guide to Images on Fabric

This is a great tool to assist you in creating images, reverse applique, photos onto fabric. It offers good advice.

This book provided great insight into actually going from the idea of transferring photos to fabric and making it happen. It will be an ongoing text reference.

I was a little disappointed with this book. I decided to keep this book for reference purposes. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this book if this will be your only book for "images on fabric"

This is a cool informational book. Can't wait to try it.

I wanted this information all in one book. Have picked up ideas from time to time from other sources but nothing had it consolidated.

clear directions and great ideas

I bought this book because I wanted a closer look at "Stars of Africa." (A quilt made by printing digital photos and scanned natural objects on printable fabric.) But there is much more in this book. It opened my eyes to what a great quilting toy an all in one printer/scanner could be in quilt making. And I admit--within a week of purchasing this book--I ordered a HP all in one copier/scanner/printer/faxer--to replace my ailing printer which only did one trick before it began to fade and smear. :) It has notyet arrived, but when it does--I'll try and write a review of it too. :) There is much information about how to treat fabric with bubble jet set--which is something that would be helpful to a graphic artist/quilter who may want to treat huge quantities of it at home instead of buying the already processed/printer ready sheets. I made a photo quilt several years ago and had to print to iron on paper that I applied to muslin--which is a pain in the brain--so I was particularly interested in a fabric sheet that allows your inkjet to print directly to the fabric. All of these new updates in the scan and print world are presented in a quick and easy format with handy color photos. I also like the compact size of this book, because I can keep it on my computer desk, or take it around my studio to consult when trying new methods for the first time.l Directions in this book include how to scan three dimensional objects, piecing oversized images , using virtual applique to combine photos and copying photos to fabric.Carol offers many troubleshooting tips, and offers practical advice right up front. For example, if you are scanning flowers and nuts to make fabric--she also tells you how to protect your scanner bed from scatching. If there is any stupid mistake that I'd likely make--Carol tries to steer me clear in advance. There is a short resource section at the end of the book and a table ofcontents.Tallahassee is a paradise in March and April with flowering trees and bushes everywhere. This year, I'm ready to scan crabapple, dogwood, azealias, wisteria--if it blooms--it'll be on the scanner. :)

This is really a step by step book for quilters who don't know much about printing on fabric. I found that much of it was too elementary for me but I definitely learned some good tips and will be referring to it often. It is very clearly written and the explanatory pictures and illustrations are good. Also lots of good ideas for manipulating images.

Good book for those that want to try fabric printing.
