Hello there!  It’s Amanda from Jedi Craft Girl here!  I like to put words in my quilts!  I get a lot of questions asking how I cut out my letters, and if I use a machine.  I hand cut all my lettering.  I use HeatnBond® EZ Print Lite sheets to make it a little easier.  Today I’m showing you how much fun it is to use HeatnBond® EZ Print sheets to add words to your quilts.

The Strawberry Patch Quilt Pattern is available HERE.

Here are a few recent quilts I’ve made using this technique.

  1.  Choose your word, letter or phrase on the computer.  If you would like the Strawberry Patch lettering, click here to download.
  2. Choose reverse or mirror on your print settings.
  3. Put the EZ print sheets in the printer with the adhesive side facing up, so the printer will print on the paper side.  I find it helpful to set it to a slow print setting.  If it’s on fast print, sometimes it causes a paper jam.IMG_1982Here you can see I’ve printed “Little Joys” in reverse.
  4. Roughly cut around the words.
  5. Press to the wrong side of the letter fabric.IMG_7603Here you can see I’ve printed #kittyquilter and ironed it to the wrong side of the fabric.
  6. Using scissors, cut around each letter, peel off the backing paper and position it to the desired fabric.
  7. Heat set and top stitch around each letter.
