Step 2
Reverse, or mirror pictures using your computer's photo program or print settings. Doing this will ensure writing and images face correct direction, according to quiltbug.com. If using a copy machine, choose the "flip image" setting.
Step 3
Insert iron transfer paper into printer and print images. Always print in color to pick up all shades and details, even in black and white. If you have a color laser printer, use digital images on your computer. If not, take hard copies of your pictures to your local copy shop. Cut out pictures.
Step 4
Wash fleece blanket. Only iron pictures onto white fleece, as other colors will affect picture quality. Do not use fleece with prints.
Step 5
Place the picture side down on fleece. Using cotton setting with no steam, apply firm pressure for 20 seconds to back of transfer. Peel paper away while still hot, according to softexpressions.com.
Step 6
Wash blankets with ironed on images on delicate cycle and air dry to ensure pictures retain quality and do not peel.
Tip
Use a high-quality, low-pill fleece that will look good after use and several washings.
Warning
Exercise caution when using a hot iron.
