I get so many of those preprinted address labels sent to me and now I use them when I need to label or number fabric pieces. They stick on the fabric nicely and never leave a mark. (Really useful when doing a Pam Bono design LOL)
|
Good idea! and I love your avatar!
|
Thanks for the tip!! Never thought of that and I have hundreds of them in my desk.
|
Thanks, it was so easy to make
|
Great tip, thank you :D:D:D

I also use pre printed address labels when I go on Shop Hops for all the door prizes.
|
I like to carry them with me in case I have to fill out info on raffle tickets, door prizes etc, I use them to mark my patterns and quilt books too in case I borrow them out or take them when I teach classes.
|
I would also like to know the name of the pattern for you avatar...it is interesting....
|
Great tip, thanks!
|
It's in the fons and porter book called 'the complete quilters guide', fabulous book I got from the library and then bought a used copy on Amazon for $8.00. If you want to send me a see, I will copy it and mail you the pattern
|
do you have a pattern for that avatar
|
Both are great tips..thank you feffertim and Scissor Queen
sass |
great :thumbup: :P
|
I use the cheapie blank stickers that are about 500 in a pack from WalMart for about $3. I think they are meant for use as garage sale price stickers????? Anyway, I have them in several different colors, shapes and sizes and use them all the time for keeping pieces, blocks and rows organized as I go. Saves a lot of time being sure something is in the right place before sewing....and knowing me, it also saves a lot of time ripping stuff apart that was put together wrong!
|
I use my address labels on all of my quilting tools so that when they are shared at a retreat or workshop they can also come back to me (by return address).

I have taken those address stickers and ran over the address with white-out tape and then use them for whatever.

I finally started throwing them away last year, since I knew I couldn't live long enough to use all of them! lol Thanks for the tip--now I have a reason to save them again.

Yes, highlight the part you want and go to the top left corner under file and click print. A box will come up where you will be able to select the word "selection". Do that and then click ok.
