Will Pigma NOT wash out? I've heard talk on here that the permanent markers eventually wash out. I realize quilts don't get washed that often, but I want any signature to stay. I'm really leaning towards a hand embroidered signature of some kind. Heard today that some are printing on that special material that you run through your computer printer...you can customize what you want on the label. I just want my grandkids to know that I've prayed over the quilt and for them while making it. And the date it was given in love. Guess I'll have to tell them
that part! LOL!

you don't have to buy special paper, just press the fabric you want to use onto freezer paper, trim to size for the printer & run it thru.. much much cheaper. i do it all time.
