How to Print on Fabric with Inklingo
When you start with perfect shapes, printed with Inklingo, you will love the results so much that you will be sure to finish!
This page only provides a few illustrations.
For complete printing instructions, please see the free Guided Tour.
Join tens of thousands of quilters in more than 65 countries who print shapes on fabric with their Inkjets.
Print on Fabric – Overview
This video shows the previous method with Adobe Reader and an old version of the website but the other info is still relevant. Inklingo Quilt Studio makes printing easier! You only cut the fabric to the custom page size now—not the freezer paper. See the Guided Tour for current instructions.
“Love the ease at which the fabric is to print, followed your direction and it was a breeze.” Joan in Australia
Preparing the fabric sheets and printing.
This clip from Live Video 07 in 2018 is still useful, but printing is even easier with the Inklingo Quilt Studio.
What’s different in 2026? Now we cut the fabric to the Custom Size and iron it to Letter or Legal Size Freezer Paper. We don’t cut the freezer paper to the custom size anymore!
Please see the free Guided Tour!
1. Get the FREE Shape Collection
Start with the free Inklingo shape collection for Diamond/Triangles/Square and the Guided Tour. Print shapes on fabric with Inkjet ink you already have.
All you need is a piece of freezer paper, a scrap of fabric, and an iron.
2. Iron Freezer Paper to Fabric
Use a light or medium color fabric for your first try.
Use a hot, dry iron (no steam) and press on both sides—the paper side and the fabric side.
As long as there is a firm bond between the fabric and the freezer paper, jams in the printer are rare.
3. Open the Studio
Follow the download instructions to install and open the Inklingo Quilt Studio.
Everything you’ve ordered will automatically appear in your library in the Studio.
In the Studio, you can find your way around with Bookmarks without even knowing the page number! How cool is that?
4. Scroll down
In the BOOKMARKS, scroll down to Catalogue of Shapes + THE SHAPES.
A small symbol to the right of any heading in the bookmarks panel lets you open and close subheadings.
Click to open the “Catalogue of Shapes” and then Combo 2.
5. Click on the page for Color 21
Click on the page for Inklingo color 21 and look at the shapes. You will see triangles (QST), squares (SQU), and diamonds (DIA) drawn with lines in a grayish/purplish color.
6. Click to print
Click > Print Current Page.
Current Page means you are only printing the page that shows in the Print Preview (below).
Print Preview
Drag the corner of the pink box to select exactly what you want to print!
The Layout of Shapes is 13 x 19 to give us maximum flexibility, but we never print the whole thing. We only print part of the page to get exactly what we need on an ordinary printer (8.5 inches wide).
Inklingo color 21 should show well enough on most light or medium fabrics and wash out easily, or at least not show on the front.
7. Admire!
Notice that by printing fabric 6.75 x 9.75 instead of 8.5 x 11, you have 8 diamonds, 4 triangles, and 4 squares with no waste—and that is exactly what you need for a LeMoyne Star.
You can use this combo to print two pieces of fabric in contrasting colors to make two stars. Combos are cool.
The lines are very fine and perfect, and the advantages are clear: It is easier to cut on a line without any measuring, and it is easier to sew with a line to follow.
Love the lines. Quilt more!
When you see precise diamonds, triangles, and squares coming out of your Inkjet printer, we think you will want to print a sheet of contrasting fabric right away, so you can mix the shapes to sew two mirror-image LeMoyne Star blocks for Tilde’s Tiny Totes.
- Test Pages – Be confident that the ink will not show in the finished quilt.
- Custom Page Sizes – Use fabric efficiently by selecting a custom size in the print dialog box.
- Layouts of Shapes – 8.5-inch printer, but 13 x 19-inch pages.
8. Explore the Inklingo Website and the free shape collection.
