I use cotton fabric on paper backing to make my labels after designing them in Powerpoint. I usually create 2 or 3 at a time within an 8 X 11 space, so I only use one sheet in the printer for all. The fabric sheets can be expensive but they are easy, legible, and clean looking. After I print, I soak overnight in cold water, set the ink and take out wrinkles with a hot iron the next day; cut around each label leaving about 1/4 to 1/2 inch seam allowance. Then I applique the label onto the back of the quilt. Sometimes, I use wonder-under to secure the label in place and help it lay flat. I have not tried the freezer paper method.
