Freezer paper/lables
#2
I think what they were talking about is - ironing your fabric to freezer paper to feed through your printer. The fabric should be treated so it doesn't fade as much, or at all. I just buy the pretreated fabric that is already to go through the printer.
Then I use my PrintShop program, design my label and then print it out.
Any time you feed fabric through your printer it needs to be backed with something that is stiffer. Starch won't do it. You also should make sure that there are no stray threads hanging off the sides of the freezer paper. You don't want them getting caught up in the printer.

And please remember that this method only works with ink jet printers. If you try it on a laser printer, you may ruin your printer. The printer heat is hotter than an iron. It could cause the plastic to melt thru the fabric onto the printer drum. Also, if a corner fo the fabric came loose from the freezer paper, something could wrap around the drum.

I iron my fabric to freezer paper and print out my label on the inkjet printer, after formatting it on the computer. It is not colorfast, so I trace over my label with pigma pens. I then remove the freezer paper, press under the edges about 1/2" and use a fancy stitch to act as a border. They wash well and look nice.
