Freezer Paper
One of the easiest methods of transferring images to fabric is the freezer paper method. This is how you do it, cut a piece of freezer paper the same size as your printer paper, also cut a piece of fine cotton fabric the same size and make sure there are no threads hanging to catch in your printer. Then iron the cotton fabric to the shiny side of the freezer paper and put one sheet at a time into your printer, sometimes it curls so l have a stick just to hold it back as its feeding through. You can also print text this way as well,  when it feels dry , just place a piece of parchment paper over it and iron with a hot iron setting and this will set the colours.

T- Shirt Transfers
This is another easy way but it does leave a slight handle on your fabric. All you do is feed one sheet at a time through your printer and when dry , iron it back onto your fabric.
Available in all computer suppliers and stationers. Prices vary as does the quality of the paper.

Spray starch method
This method can be used in school but the results are not wash proof.
Spray polycotton with spray starch and iron dry. Do this twice. Cut fabric into A4 (or A3 if you have a A3 deskjet printer) sized sheets leaving no loose threads. Carefully put through printer. If the fabric gets caught up stick masking tape at the feed edge of the fabric to help it feed through the printer.
To make the design water – resistant – sponge fabric medium onto the design and leave to dry then iron as per instructions for the medium.
