I heavily starched my fabric, ironed it to crispness, then ran it through the printer with no problem. I used Word to create the label message and printed as usual for paper.
I used a an HP envy - but any inkbased printer would work. The labels were created in Canva using some of their fonts - they have lots to choose from, I hope that helps!
Ok, when I tried this the fabric got stuck in my printer too!! WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!! I will try again and make sure the fabric is really attached well and see how it goes! Thanks for this video!
Yes! Totally normal, and it's the worst! If it keeps happening, you may need to use a different printer (still ink) OR buy those fabric sheets that are meant for the printer. Keep me updated on how it goes!
I design mine in Canva, but you can use Word, or any word processing software! I have these labels for free on my website so you can try them out, let me know how it goes!
Great question, it will fade a little when washed but I've found that the dye fixative really helps maintain it over time. So it may lose the original printed crispness but everything will still be visible on the tag. For quilts that you'll wash a lot, maybe consider applying a few layers of vinegar or fixative (ironing in between) and letting the ink really set for a few weeks before washing, I hope this helps!
Good question, 100% vinegar and I had success with a new technique, I got another piece of fabric wet with vinegar and laid it on top of the labels and pushed down until it just barely soaked through, it didn't cause any bleeding! This is after I heat set the labels with an iron for like five minutes!
Are you using an inkjet printer for this? (If the ink cartridges are under $30, it's an inkjet). I can't imagine it's a laser jet? (As someone who used to sell toner and married a copier salesman, these are things someone like me thinks of 🤣). I have a laser jet, and I don't want to ruin it; it's an expensive printer... But I would consider buying a cheesy inkjet at the thrift store to try this out. This is a great idea!
Yes - this is an inkjet, I don't think a laser printer would work. I would definitely recommend trying it on a less expensive printer because a few of mine always get jammed, which is awful haha Some people have great luck with using those sheets of fabric printer paper that you can pick up at craft stores.
Great question! You can open the PDF Download in a word document, use a transparent text box and put your name into the blank areas. The exact fonts that I used are available to download in the blog post on my website! I hope this helps!
Love this!!! Thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial....also thank you for the lovely labels
Thanks for sharing! They look great!
Thank you for sharing your gifts
Thank you so much for the labels and the tutorial 🙏🏻❤️🙋🏼♀️
Of course, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video and the labels. This video was so helpful. I have not seen that done before. Can't wait to try it.
I hope you do, let me know how it goes!
Thank your the directions/demonstration and the free labels!

I'm so glad it worked out!
I use printer sticker sheets, they stick beautifully to the fabric. You can usually buy it quite cheaply at dollar stores.
I think that's a fantastic idea, thanks for sharing! I love great dollar store finds!
Thank you for making this tutorial @JessicaRose! #easyquiltlabels

Thanks for sharing this tutorial - looks so easy to do and pretty too! What printer did you use and what font is that?

So where do u get the flowers n the printed part of the label?
They're from a free template you can download on my website :)
What software do you use to design the label? How do you make the triangle labels?
I design mine in Canva, but you can use Word, or any word processing software! I have these labels for free on my website so you can try them out, let me know how it goes!
Does your treatment of the material with Rit prevent the label from fading if it is washed?
Great question, it will fade a little when washed but I've found that the dye fixative really helps maintain it over time. So it may lose the original printed crispness but everything will still be visible on the tag.

@@quiltdstudios thank you.
Did you use a laser printer or a inkjet printer ?? Love the video !!!
great question, Inkjet! I'm not sure the Laser would deposit the ink into the fabric :)
Jessica, what is the vinegar ratio, ie vinegar and water or 100% vinegar?
Good question, 100% vinegar and I had success with a new technique, I got another piece of fabric wet with vinegar and laid it on top of the labels and pushed down until it just barely soaked through, it didn't cause any bleeding! This is after I heat set the labels with an iron for like five minutes!
How did you get the font and flower design?
In Canva, you can also find tree templates on my website
Superliked
What program do you have on you computer for making the label’s?
I use Canva - I have a free template on my website! Or you can use any word processing software!

How do I get my name on the label?
Great question! You can open the PDF Download in a word document, use a transparent text box and put your name into the blank areas. The exact fonts that I used are available to download in the blog post on my website! I hope this helps!
I’d like a tutorial on making the label on computer.
Thats a good idea! I'll add that to the list of videos to make :)
@@quiltdstudios I’ll be watching!!☺️
