That's fantastic to hear! While I try to label all my quilts, some slip through without one. But it's a wonderful addition for the recipient and is always appreciated. Thanks so much for subscribing! It's great to have you following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
We used to iron cotton onto wax paper, cut it to 8.5 x 11 and run it through the printer back in fiber arts school. Easy peasy. Great labels!! Thank you.
Great tip, Frances! The reason I prefer the printable paper is the fabric is held so firmly as it feeds through the printer. Whereas the wax or freezer papers are much less sturdy. The extra support gives the printable paper a firmer base to print on and I'm always very happy with the results. Thanks for your comment and I sure appreciate your following along!

@@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise You're definitely right! I've had them slip on me in the printer. :) But in a pinch... lol I love the channel! Happy to support it.
An easy way to remove the paper from the adhesive is to score a line on somewhere in the body of your piece with a pin. It's easier to remove than trying to release the paper from a corner of your fabric
Lea,,, Thank you, thank you so much for the "Quilt Lable" video. I have been searching for info on doing lable. Your's is the BEST I have found. This whole video was very special. It covered so much info that I needed. THANK YOU AGAIN for all the information. Keep on doing such pretty work. Love your channel.
Glad it was helpful, Ann! 😍 Having labels on hand makes us more inclined to actually get them attached! LOL Have fun labeling all your quilts. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Glad you enjoyed it, Ragath! Labels can be a fun addition to any quilt and recipients will always enjoy seeing one on their quilt. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Hi Hi Lea I am learn how to wuilt 2 years ago do not know much about colors I am go in to made a quilt for my son Do you think gray and dark blue would go together ,he likes gray ,I am plan to made log cabin quilt , please help Thank you very much
Glad to hear you're making a quilt! Gary and dark blue would look wonderful together. Also think about adding some lighter and darker shades for some contrast. Have fun and Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thank you for the beautiful labels, this is jut what I was looking for. One question, do you use the fine point or the regular point Sharpies? I just could not tell from the video (old eyes!)
Both, Nancy! The fine points definitely give you more control. Sometimes I find the regular points in darker colors can tend to bleed just a bit so be careful with them. Have fun labeling your quilts! 😍 Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Absolutely, Mickey. An inkjet printer is perfect as you need to use a permanent ink when printing the labels. There may not be as much coverage as you might want depending on your printer settings. If possible, set your print quality to high/extra/dark or whatever there is to use a bit more ink. A sharpie works wonders for touch up if needed. I actually use them to color in the labels! Have fun making your labels. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Great question! 😍 Yes you can use a laser jet printer with inkjet paper, BUT laser printers don't give the best results for photos. Definitely give it a try with these labels as they are more dark lines than colorful images. Use the 'best quality' setting and see what you think. Give it a try on paper first and see if there's a difference between the settings. My guess is you should be okay. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

That's a product I haven't used before, Elizabeth. From what I understand is that's it's similar but finishes feeling stiffer. Maybe someone who has used it can add some input. Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

Using the inkjet printer, can you print in color?
Absolutely, Mickey. An inkjet printer is perfect as you need to use a permanent ink when printing the labels. There may not be as much coverage as you might want depending on your printer settings. If possible, set your print quality to high/extra/dark or whatever there is to use a bit more ink. A sharpie works wonders for touch up if needed. I actually use them to color in the labels!

I have a laserjet printer. 1) can I still use this printer? (2) If so, will it still work on the inkjet paper? Thank you for your response.
