I just recalled that I blogged about it.... It's worth a try and I think you will be very satisfying....

Wow, wish I could "doodle" like you, lol! Can't draw a stick figure with a ruler. :cry:

So, using the same method (freezer paper ironed onto muslin or light fabric), I tape stabilized fabric onto a light box with computer generated message under and trace it with a Micron pen. That way, the lettering looks nice and is straight, etc. Works like a charm!

If you have an embroidery machine you can whip out 22 labels quickly. I do my own and put lots of info on them plus a graphic of some kind, usually a needle and thread.
