I've only had a problem with one label fading and I think it was because I didn't let it set long enough before I washed it. It bothered me so much that after the baby was born i got the quilt back and made a different label and put that on instead. My DGS quilt is 8 years old and has been washed a gazillion times-you can still read the label.

Glad you mentioned Bubble Jet Set. I am going to make my son and daughter both a memory quilt, and found some bubble Jet Set and some miracle cotton sheets on a site that you use the bubble jet set with I am assuming. Have you ever used these sheets and if so do they need to be used with the Bubble Jet Set? I am not familiar with either of these products. I am wondering if the Bubble Jet Set is required for these sheets and if you can put photos on them. Please pm me with any information you have on both products before I order them. The site where I found this is Soft Expressions.com. Thanks bunches. Gerbie

After you heat set the ink from your printer,soak the label in vinegar. The vinegar should permanently set the ink and it is much cheaper that buying bubble set

I just was given a slew of those pre made labels. I have used them in the past and have had a hard time writing on them with the pigma pens. I just heard a great tip...press them onto freezer paper and the writing is so much easier!! In fact, I may press some heat n bond to the back and then just write and cut them out as I need them.

What about the photos that you can print out from the computer using prepared fabric. like June Taylors - would you need to soak them in vinegar too? I want the sheets to be soft, and they aren't, and I find them hard to sew on myself. That's why I'm interested in finding out all I can about the miracle sheets, the site said they could be used for photos and were much softer than those from Taylor, but I still don't know how well you can sew on them.

Which printer do you use? The color ink on mine fades when I wash it. The black ink doesn't tho.

I love printing mine on my own fabric which matches my quilt by glueing the fabric to printer paper and running it through the printer. Here's is a link on youtube showing how. It's so easy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mH2R2dVQxc

I really like that idea!

Hi All,

That is a wonderful idea. I think i'm going to use this on my next baby shower quilt.
