Thanks so much, Gwendoline! I can't wait to try this but will first iron the fabric to the shiny side of freezer paper instead of using glue. Love your style! Bobbie 😍
If you iron the fabric first, then paste, then print, then set, will it make a difference? I'm always worried that my fabric is too wrinkly to put through the printer. This was awesome, ty!!
What I do is get a A4 sheet of paper, get a print stick and glue all the paper, then cover with the fabric, smooth out, cut the fabric to the A4 size if you have to. Pop only this sheet in the printer. Once you have printed this out with your design, just iron over the ink, can put a cloth over the ink if you like and then iron to set the ink. That is all you have to do. I have never had any problem. I printed out two labels on the same sheet and I washed one with normal washing to see what wood happen, the fabric I used faded, but the ink was fine. ha
Hi thanks for watching. Make sure you iron your label to set the ink. I washed one sample and then checked it with another sample, the washed sample ,the fabric faded not the ink. I have not tested on several washers, as most people don't do a lot of washing of quilted things. Wall hanging don't need washing. Lots of quilts are just for show, or just to dress the bed. I have been doing this for years now, and all labels are all good.
@@stormyg1945 Hi it’s just word, you can also make it coloured, or put in art , just put in what you want, then save it and print it just like paper. I washed the sample to test it. The fabric faded, the ink was fine. Over time it may fade. Most people don’t wash quilts that much. Labels can be replaced very easy. G
I love your comment about your hair. I was kind of wondering that as soon as I started watching the video. People on social media, I don’t miss much these days In all seriousness, have you considered getting a flat iron? They are wonderful they make your hair, super soft and shiny and super straight. You can turn the flat iron vertically and get some waves if you want but you have to be careful. As far as the ink from the printer, I am not confident that it will hold up wash after wash. I’m just wondering if there’s some kind of protection maybe sewing some clear vinyl on top
Hi Thanks for the comments, I have a flat iron, Just did not have the time to do my hair, crazy week. Im not your traditional CZcamsr I guess. I printed out two labels once, put one in the washer. Ironed it and the ink was ok, but the fabric faded a little when I put it next to the original one. Have been doing this way of labelling for years now. I think what you have to consider, are just going to have it on the wall or use your quilts for decoration compared to having it in the washer every week. I have an embroidery machine now, so may also give that ago, but the stitchers can also come out over time, and break. So many choices.
@@lifestylesew I am making some quilts for people in my mothers Care Home for when they are sitting in their wheelchairs, watching a movie or some thing So I really want to make sure they will hold up for as long as possible because they may be washed on a weekly basis I just finished making my own label with Washing instructions that were translated into Ukrainian and I used the fabric markers. I did the heat set with the iron then I washed them in really hot water then I re-inked them use the iron again so at least they will last a little longer
@@lifestylesew I belong to an online community of people who buy quilting cotton, and one lady offered to make two wheelchair lap quilts for me, and another gal is making one. I’ve met so many great people through this fabric sale. Another lady has an embroidery side business, and she embroidered the Ukrainian coat of arms so that I can incorporate that into my quilt
Hi Jenny < First of all I just got this question, CZcams must have a delay or something with messages. Yes I did machine sew on the label. You cant really see it on the front as I have a lot of stitchers from overall stitching, you dont notice the stitching box for the label. I do this all the time, you dont really notice the stitching from the label as who looks at the bottom of your bed. Thank you for watching my channel its much appreciated. If you would like me to show how to do other things then just let me know. Gwendoline
I dont know after several washers. I tested a sample, and it didn't fad at all, the fabric did.. Most people don't wash their quilts on a regular basis, as they are just sitting on top of the bed. If you are making wall quilts, then you properly won't wash it anyway. If you are thinking of washing quilts, then you must wash the fabric before you cut it out and buy washed wool if you use that so nothing shrinks. People do a lot of working making quilts but don't give attention to shrinkage.
Thanks so much, Gwendoline! I can't wait to try this but will first iron the fabric to the shiny side of freezer paper instead of using glue. Love your style! Bobbie 😍

Good morning. Was looking at your tutorial on how to print quilting labels. Awesome! Question: how well does the ink hold after several washings?
Hi thanks for watching. Make sure you iron your label to set the ink. I washed one sample and then checked it with another sample, the washed sample ,the fabric faded not the ink.

I’d like to know too. Also, what program on the computer did you use to type your label letters?

Did you machine stitch the label on? Doesn't that show on the front?
