I'm fascinated with this....but what is "bubble jet"???? Where can you get it?
You can order it online. It is sometimes hard to find in shops. It is about $16-25 a bottle, depending on where you can find it. You soak your muslin or whatever fabric you will use for your label. Let it dry then iron it onto the freezer paper and print it like you would the printer fabric sheets you would buy anywhere. Even though it is $23 the bottle is really big and it does not take much. It is called bubble jet set and there is also a rinse you can get to, I usually just use the set. Here is the site.

Since that's soooo expensive, I wonder if anyone's painted the surface with "painter's medium" first, let dry, then printed on the fabric?? That might work...I may try it this weekend...
