Need help with Printed Treasures
Has anyone ever used Printed Treasures fabric sheets ? I printed my label just fine but paper backing is coming off in tiny little bits . What did I do wrong ?

I use it frequently. Press it face down and gently pull of the backing. Reheating as needed. I had the same problem when I first used it. I heat it, use a pin to gently score the paper and start pulling it off. Good luck.

I had this problem in spite of heating it up as I went along. I also found it very difficult to hand sew the label onto the back of the quilt. I actually wrote to Timeless Treasures and told them of the backing problem and that I would not use their product again. I would much rather print my own labels on fabric.

I always have this problem with Printed Treasures labels. I peel off as much of the paper as I can without spending too much time at it. I then rinse it in a bowl of running water to eliminate excess dyes. After it is wet, I can rub off the rest of the paper easily. If there is a tiny bit of leftover paper, I just leave it in there.
I press it with a dry iron until it is dry. I press under a quarter inch edge all around. Then I spray it with basting spray to keep it in place while I hand sew it on the back.

Like Boston and Quilting Grandma, I found that additional heat would release the paper. Try to start a corner first to grab, then heat for a couple seconds and start peeling the rest of the paper away. I was so frustrated in previous attempts of more soaking and scraping etc. This solved the problem and worked like a charm. Wish I would have tried it sooner!!!!!!
