I am printing on cloth my label. After I soak it in Bubble Jet Set 2000, it says allow to dry...My question is, can I throw it in the dryer to dry it, as I would like to put this label on the quilt today.

I don't make labels. I embroider my info in an inconspicuous spot on the back of the quilt.

I'm going to watch this thread for the answer to your question though as I am planning to make a photo quilt for my ex- who is very very sick.

i believe that, in another discussion, the consensus was to let it air dry.

I've let mine air dry...then press...before sending thru the printer

after printing, let airdry again for 1 hour then rinse in bubblejet rinse...

this is the way I have done the few I have done...so far so good.

but most of mine are done on the embroidery machine

Never used Bubble Jet. Do prewash the fabric without any additives: softener or scent or such. Then went through my own process to put it through the printer.

you can put it into the dryer to dry it- then press it to your freezer paper- or fusable- what ever you are using to run it through the printer= then after setting it aside to *cure* be sure to heat-set the ink
