I generally write the label content on a regular white paper. Then I press the freezer paper to the wrong side of the fabric. I lay the label fabric over the paper and copy what was already designed. Works like a charm. I tend to make small strokes with the pigma pen and fill in when I have the bare bones done. Also have a multi-colored set of felt pens for fabric. If the label is larger, I use them. Set label with hot iron!
