Please remember that the method with scotch tape OnLY works with a INKJET. If you want to do it with a laser printer make your fabric and freezer paper into a 8x11 sheet. However. It also works just fine to print what you want on laser printer in reverse (mirror print) on paper and just iron it on using a hot iron. This produces an antique look. Thanks for your tips
OR, if your machine does embroidery, embroider the info on the front (I usually put it bottom center in the border, in a tone-on-tone color of thread (that way the info is there, but the label won't detract from the quilt). I do something like this: made for John Doe by Jane Doe August 2024 When I take it to the long armer, they just sew right through it. Quilt comes out great, and everyone loves the label (once they find it).
1st time viewer. Love your idea of taping fabric to the printer paper. I tried making a label by ironing fabric to freezer paper to fit printer. I have a laser printer and the heat just distorted the sheet and didn't work. I will try with just a portion taped to the printer paper. Hopefully that may work.
Thank you so much for watching! I am glad you liked the taping idea. For your laser printer, I would definitely test the ink to make sure it won't wash out. To test this, print a label and take a picture of it. Boil the label in water for 2 minutes. Then hand wash the label. I use dish soap to really test it. Pat dry with towels and iron until it is completely dry. Take another picture to compare to the first. Let me know what the results are.
Thank you so much for watching! The labels I have printed on my printer are still going strong after many years. I do not put anything on the fabric before I print. You can always try some of the products that are available and test against a label that has not been treated. To do this, print the label and take a picture of it. Boil the label in water for 2 minutes. Then hand wash the label. I use a liquid dish soap to really test it. Pat dry with towels and iron until it is completely dry. Take another picture to compare to the first. If you do test any products, let me know what the results are.
Thank you for the great video. I also have an ink jet HP. I suppose the ink will not wash out. I saw your comment on testing the ink. I'm a new subscriber. ❤ 🧵
Thank you so much for watching! I don't do anything to keep the ink from bleeding or washing out. I use HP ink and it has never bled or washed out for me. I would suggest you make a test label and see if you can try very hard to wash it out. You don't have to sew it on to a project to test. Just print it out and take a picture of it. Boil the label in water for 2 minutes. Then hand wash the label. I use a liquid dish soap to really test it. Pat dry with towels and iron until it is completely dry. Take another picture to compare to the first. Let me know what the results are.
Thank you so much for watching. The design wall behind me was made following this tutorial. "How to Make a Quilt Design Wall with Jenny and Ron from Missouri Star." I am not sure how I ever lived without it!

OMG.....I am so happy I found this video!!! Thank you.
I am so glad you liked it! Thank you so much for watching.
The Sharpie method works better (less bleeding) if you iron a piece of freezer paper on the back first. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching! The paint markers may surprise you. They are now my favorite method for adding graphics to labels!
Thank you for this video. I really like the first way you did the label.
I am glad you liked the first method. Thank you so much for watching!
I use Micron Pens. They are permanent and archival.
Thanks for sharing this with us.😊🎉

Is printer ink permanent on fabric? Do you have to use some product to prepare the fabric for printing i.e. bubble jet?

If you have an ink jet printer, how do you keep the ink from bleeding or washing out?

I’ll give that a try! Thanks!
Can you tell me more about your quilt wall that divides your room?

Can you use a Lazer printer to print the label?

You can use anything as long as the ink is PERMANENT and will not run, disappear or bleed.
