I iron freezer paper to the back of my fabric that I want to print on, then use my rotary cutter to trim it exactly to the size of a piece of printer paper, load it into my HP printer and print. I use Avery.com or the free Avery app to actually help me design the label - they have oodles of free graphics so I can add a frame around my label or seasonal motifs, lots of fonts to choose from as well. I usually design 3 labels at a time so as to not waste fabric. After printing I let the labels dry overnight and then treat it with a little Retayne to set the colours then hand sew it onto my quilt back. I think you can buy fabric especially made to go into a printer - but that is not available here and the freezer paper method is economical and works well.
