I use fabric treated with Bubble Jet Set that I iron to freezer paper and run through my printer. I leave it on the paper at least overnight before I remove it. Then I heat set it with a hot iron. I use 200 count muslin or a good quilting fabric. Sometimes I put a picture on it too or use fabric from the front-as long as I can read the printing on it. I've only had a problem with one label fading and I think it was because I didn't let it set long enough before I washed it. It bothered me so much that after the baby was born i got the quilt back and made a different label and put that on instead. My DGS quilt is 8 years old and has been washed a gazillion times-you can still read the label.
