I did it!!! I tried it out and it worked! I've been trying to figure out how to make my quilt label for my raffle quilt. Any time i've used iron-on transfers, it leaves a very thick and stiff residue on the fabric. Soooo, i read what some said here, that they print right on their fabric that has freezer paper backing, and then heat-set the ink with an iron. Some here say it works on their regular printer, some say only on laser printer. Sooo, i don't have a laser printer, just a regular one. Tonight I tried printing a label on white fabric, backed with freezer paper, then heat-set it with the iron. I washed it in the sink, and poured bleach directly on it!!!! It worked!! The label didnt run, even with the bleach!!! :) :) :) So now im absolutely thrilled that i've found a better way to make labels, thanks so much to this thread!!! :)
