I use pre-packaged fabric sheets for my ink-jet printer. I usually use a photo relative to the occasion or person receiving the quilt - in the label above I have used a photo of part of the actual quilt.

I either type up the message in a "Word" document and insert the photo in the document, then print.

Or if I want to manipulate the pic, either by adding a frame or cutting and pasting parts of the pic, I use "Paint" which you can usually find under accessories in Windows.

There are also label programmes you can buy or are included in software such as EQ, but I find you can do pretty much whatever you want with the programmes already on Windows.

In the above label I added the burgundy border (the quilt was bound with burgundy) and cut and pasted the text into the centre.

The pre-packaged fabric sheets are very easy to use. There is some variation between brands but bascially its print, dry, peel off backing, rinse and press. Some brands require a setting agent for the rinse.

Psycho - if you want any other info, don't hesitate to PM me.
