I used Bubble Jet Set for years and was always confident the labels would last through many years of washing. Not so... one of my friends told me the labels I used on her twins quilts were almost faded beyond reading in a couple years of washing the baby quilts. I usually hand embroider a simple message label now. (I wonder when statistics are posted about a product, how many actual full washings etc. actually happen before posting the results?) I have some quilts in my house that have only been washed once and the labels look lovely... I have never just printed a label onto fabric that has not been treated with a chemical product. I have received swap blocks where people have signed them with "permanent" gel pens etc..... but when I soaked them and scrubbed them... the signature disappeared. I guess what I'm saying is... you need to experiment for yourself and be happy with the results.
