For years, I printed my labels on my ink jet printed onto Printed Treasures paper. Unfortunately, I made a T-shirt quilt for my granddaughter and printed pictures from her high school days and added them to the sashing. My long arm quilter friend asked me if I had set them, which I hadn't. Suggested I soak them in Bubble Jet solution and when I did, all of the pictured faded almost 100%. I had to take the entire quilt apart to remove the pictures. I worry about the many quilts I have made and given away that when their quilts are washed, the labels will fade away. How to you keep your printed labels from fading? I would so much prefer to print them vs. hand writing them.
