Printed Fabric Printing Your Fabric 79 When using printed fabric, it is important to remember that every printer and computer is slightly different, so these are general instructions to give you an idea of how easy it is to use this technique! First open the file from your CD-ROM. All of our printable files are in PDF format which can be opened and printed using Adobe Reader. This is a free program you can download at www.get.adobe.com/reader if you do not already have it. When you go to print the file, it is very important to make sure you have “Actual Size” clicked in order to maintain the intended ratio. Otherwise, if you are using a block that is meant to fit exactly on a quilt block it can throw off the design. The printer should also be set to a normal quality, plain paper setting unless specified otherwise by the manufacturer of the printable fabric you are using. Before you start printing on your fabric, it is always good to do a test print on a plain sheet of paper to make sure there are no issues and you are happy with the quality. It is very important to know which way to lay your printable fabric so that you don’t accidentally print on the wrong side. If your printer doesn’t have clear instructions, then just mark the piece of paper you are using for the test on one side so you know which way to feed the printable fabric through. The last thing you want to do is waste ink and a fabric sheet trying to figure this out! D E F
