Need help on making labels
#1
I'm having a difficult time using Micro pens to write on muslin to make my quilt labels. Does anyone have any tips or tricks on making this process easier? I'd appreciate any tips you have to offer or perhaps different pens to write with. Thank you,

If you iron your fabric onto freezer paper, it will act as a stabilizer and the nib of the pen won't move the fabric.

I make my labels using freezer paper also. I found, on accident, that prewashing the label fabric helps the ink to penetrate the fabric better also. I don't prewash my fabrics but I always make sure to take a bit of dishsoap and wash the label fabric and the dry and iron it before putting on the freezer paper and then writing on it. It has made a tremendous difference in how my labels come out.
