how to get names printed on fabric
 

My daughter in law is graduating college in Dec with her masters and I want to make a quilt for her symbolizing the 2 colleges she has attended. I have t-shirts, patches, collegiate colored fabrics, but I would like the have a couple of blocks with the school name and month/year she graduated. Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this? I want blocks about 8x8. thanks

try spoonflower.com... they have a good service.

Maybe have them embroidered?

Have you thought of simple applique letters??

That was my thought too.

I use my ink jet printer and a word program.
I cut freezer paper to the size of a sheet of paper and iron my fabric i want printed on
to the freezer paper.

A WORD program would work, but I don't have one so I've used PhotoShop.

TAP (Transfer Artist Paper) by Leslie Riley will allow you to transfer letters, photos, drawings, and painted images/letters from ink-jet printer or by hand onto fabric (and many other things like wood, metal, glass ,etc.). They need to be in reverse on TAP as it is placed face down and ironed for the transfer.

I have done several quilt labels for some of the gals. If you wish I could do yours. I only ask that you provide correct spelling for words and the material if you wish a special material for the blocks. would also need the size of the font.

A member of our board, sewnsewer2 , has embroidered 3 sets of names for 3 of our grands when they graduated high school. They had the school name, mascot, & year on them. Beautiful. She always sends you a proof so you can approve the design before she makes them.

They have fabric for inkjet printers you print on it just like you would paper! I love it for pictures too!

The best way I have found is to take a piece of fabric to one of the places that embroider on t-shirts etc. They had me bring a piece larger that what I planned to use. They marked the size block I wanted and embroidered and did a beautiful job. The price was less than I expected. I find that when I print on fabric it fades more than I would like with washing.

I have used Micron pigma pens & a small (around 1 inch) alphabet stencils to write on fabric. They will hold up with washing. Just iron freezer paper on the back of your fabric to make it easier to write on. The pens come in several colors & are a very great product. You could probably find the pens in her school colors as there are many colors.
