Color Fast Fabric Sheets by June Tailor inc.

Picked this product up accidentally, I thought I was buying iron on transfer paper.  Well, it turned out to be a happy accident.  Sew-in Colorfast Fabric Sheets for your ink jet printer by June Tailor Inc.. is a great new find for me and so I had to share. 
I'm working on a Sideshow piece and needed to make a vintage looking banner for the backdrop.  I figured the easiest way to achieve this was to use an iron on transfer.  After pulling the Colorfast fabric sheets out of the package I realized that they were in fact fabric tacked onto heavy paper.  You print directly onto the fabric side, let dry for 15 minutes and then peel off the paper backing.  You do not have to put it through the printer as a mirror image. 
They are a little pricey.  About $10.00 for 3 sheets, but if you have a specific project in mind they are worth the cost.  I think this product would be fabulous for all the quilters I know. 

 
 
Below is my Sideshow piece, still a work in progress.
