Hello from Virginia
 
Hi... I am from Virginia and new to this forum. I have been into crafts for 40+ years. I love all kinds of crafts and quilting being one of them. I have been working all year on Christmas gifts for my family. I have made 19 flannel rag quilts ranging in size from crib-twin-full-queen. My question is: I would like to put a id tag on them stating who it is from, who for and date, etc. I would like to print it out using my printer and then sew onto each quilt. Just wondering how to make it where it would be washable. I read about printing in gray style (no color) on printer and setting with hot iron. Does anyone know if this will work.. don't want it to fade out the first time it is washed. Thanks!

Welcome from Michigan! You can get computer sheets for your labels at Joann's. Just follow the directions and they work just fine!

I think there is a fusible printable called Precious Treasures, or something like that. I've heard alot about it and its suppose to be really good. Now, me myself, I'd still have to sew at least the sides of the label down. They show it being done with color as well. I do my lables on my emb machine. Good luck and welcome from Norfolk Va.

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. I use the embroidery letter feature on my machine to put a name on gifts if needed so I can't offer any printing advice.
