The trick to printing needlepoint canvas on an Inkjet printer

July 11, 2008 by Denise Felton 2 Comments

Home-printed needlepoint canvas by Judy HeimJudy Heim‘s tutorial has been available for several years; but if you haven’t yet tried printing needlepoint canvases with your home printer, her advice will be fresh and new to you. One of the  most important problems to overcome in using home-printed canvases is keeping the ink from rubbing off  or bleeding onto the needlepoint fibers. Judy’s answer: “Pretreat the canvas with colorless stenciling ink before you print on it, then heat-set it.” You can get all the details on Judy’s site, Cats Who Quilt.
