you adhere the fabric to freezer paper to feed it through the printer...let set to (cure) at least 24 hours then rinse with cold water (or follow the instructions for what you are using)
keeping it simple will give you the best results.
If I print my own labels off the inkjet printer using fabric sheets, will the words withstand multiple washes without smudging/fading? How about adhering fabric to freezer paper?
