" 10 sheets of brand new, white, blank, REAL fabric labels- print your logo or information on these labels with any LASER PRINTER. Sheets are 8.5"x11" - each sheet has 40 perforated labels- no need for cutting each label is 1"x 2-1/8" Set up a template in Word, PageMaker or any word processing or layout program and you're ready to go! "

ofcourse i wont start before i m all well from my earinfection but i am getting better :wink:

Sorry, I'm not computer savvy enough to be able to help you with your labels, but I am glad to hear that you are beginning to feel better.

What kind of program do you have on your computer??

I have MicroSoft Word so could probably help you set up one there.

In Word:
click on Tools
click on Letters and Mailings
click on Envelopes and Labels
click on the tab for Labels
click on Options - find a label that measures the size you are looking for; these are arranged by company and type, so there are lots of choices
click on okay
click on New Document
You will be taken back to your Word document but you will see faint lines on the page. These lines denote your label edges and you can put what you like into the first one, then copy and paste it into the rest. Easy!!

you can download many label printing program. Go to you printer brand website. They have free print programs you can download. I haven't seen any printer that didn't have multiple print settings in the properties tab though.

that just seems like a small label.. are you sure that's going to be large enough? you would have to write teeeny to get your info on there.
there are many ways to easily print out labels these days. maybe you should do some research first to see what's available.

anybody agree/disagree?

these are my handbag labels - i don't use these on quilts.

they measure 1 inch by 2.75 inches.

i would try it out on paper to make sure you can fit whatever you want to on them.

that's a good example, klue. you can see that there really isn't much space to put name, place, year and occasion in the space. it's a great size for a signature label, but for a quilt label? i don't know.....

and mine are over a 1/2 longer then the ones mentioned by the OP.

lokks like they need to be bigger yeah.

How does ur quilt labels look like?

I agree that there is not going to be much space on that size label to print all that you might want. Think you will only get your name and perhaps a date on.

each quilt label is different depending on if its a quilt i made for friends/family and a quilt i made for clients.

about the only thing they have in common is my signature name of Klue Designs and i tuck scraps of the quilt fabric behind it in case repairs ever need to be made.

lately i've been putting a photo of the quilt on the label.

when its a commission quilt that the client is giving to someone as i gift i offer to do 2 labels - 1 label from me and then another label from them.

this way they can write words of love and affection - its very popular, i've never had a client turn down the offer.

some of my clients show up with their comments and ask me to print it on the computer like i do mine and then all they have to do is hand sign the label.

i make mine large enough to write or embroider my name, the name of the recipient, the date and the place. if it's a special occasion, i might add that.

i am on the email list for dover publications and they send samples. whenever there's a sample of a frame-like picture, i bookmark it. later i print it out on label fabric and then write inside the frame. it gives the option of choosing the size frame i want, and the style. you can also choose to use just a corner clipart from them, also free.
