So glad you taught this.
You're welcome. And thank you for watching and commenting.
I had saved your video a while ago and used it today to make a beautiful label for a quilt for my son’s birthday. Thank you! One suggestion I thought of from my Foundation Paper Piecing projects is to lower the stitch length when sewing on the borders. I went from my usual 2.5 down to 2.0 and the paper backing was very easy to remove.
Thanks for watching our video and I am glad you were able to make a beautiful quilt label. Your suggestion of using a shorter stitch length is appreciate and a great idea.
I wanted to say thank you for your video. I have successfully made labels labels
Thank you for this clear tutorial. I love having the fusible backing on the label.
You are so welcome!
Thabks for sharing this interesting way to add a quilt label to a quilt.
You are so welcome!

You're Welcome!

Thank you for sharing. Good Info.
I recommend the quilt label be machine sewn into a corner of the quilt. That way you only have to hand sew the other two corners. This is a deterrent to theft and the easy removal of the label.
Thank you for the suggestion. That is a very good idea.
Can you use any fabric, such as something you put in your quilt ? I thoroughly enjoyed your video and the fact that I really don’t have to buy the expensive « special packs ». Thank you so much!
Yes you can!
I would like to try this. But one question. You say allow the print to dry after printing the label. How long does it take to dry? and how can one tell if it's dry?
thank You for sharing helpful and wonderful information!

Thanks for watch our video on making quilt labels. Until it is dry to the touch.
Great tutorial I do have a question why do you only use black ink?
Colored inkjet ink is not colorfast, it’s a dye-based ink, so you want to only print on the label using black ink.
Can i use a color photo???
Thank you for watching our video and commenting with your questions. I would say no to a color photo. Colored inkjet ink is not colorfast, it’s a dye-based ink, so you want to only print on the label using black ink.
I've ironed on my label, without any fabric borders. Do I need to stitch it down, or is the iron-on printable fabric label secure enough just on it's own? It feels very secure right now.
I do recommend stitching it down if you expect the quilt to be laundered. I have one that I didn't stitch down and after the quilt has been washed quite a few times, it's peeling up at the edges and I need to stitch it down. If it's a wall hanging or something that won't be washed, then I would think it would last. Happy Quilting!
Why can't you use colored ink?
Hi! Thank you for watching our video on making a label. To answer you questions, colored inkjet ink is not colorfast, it’s a dye-based ink, so you want to only print on the label using black ink.
Can this be washed? Will the ink smear in the wash?
Yes. But only use black inkjet ink to make the label. Colored inkjet ink is not colorfast.
Is there a wrong side on the heat n bond?
The heat n bond has two sides - a paper side and a adhesive side. When making the label you are attach the heat n bond adhesive side to the wrong side of the label fabric. Then proceed per the video or if you would like a written photo tutorial, head over to this page:

Can you use a basic $50.00 cannon injet printer?
I would think you can use that type of printer.
