The ink will wash out. (There is some "stuff" you can treat the fabric with but I can't remember what is called. If used, printing will not wash out and you don't need to embroider)
I'll try to post a couple of my labels done this way. I like the versatility of being able to used differant fonts, etc. I always print the labels the color that will be embroidered over it, too.

BTW: Embroidering seemed to add that extra special touch we all want for our quilts. Very nice. :thumbup:

I have an HP Printer...I'm envisioning the freezer paper and fabric wading up somewhere in the printer. Hopefully, you'll tell me this never happened you. :wink:

I just hand embroidered the labels. It didn't take very long, I like to do handwork!
I just used the word processing program on my computer, typed what I wanted, made it the right size, picked a font, picked a color and printed on a piece of fabric backed with freezer paper. (the freezer paper is ironed on) Usually, I just print it out on a regular piece of paper to see if it looks okay. It's very easy......
(BTW, my first labels I had "made" at a machine embroidery shop---WOW, now that was expensive......)

Now, after answering all these questions I've asked about printer labeling, I'm anxious to try this myself! Thanks everyone! :-) :-) :-) :-)
