I have a written tute somewhere on the QB about making your own labels.

Did edit it to add that I used a glue stick at the leading edge of the freezer paper before ironing the fabric to the freezer paper. Then trimmed the leading edge again with a rotary cutter. No problems after that.

I am too thrifty to buy something I don't need. .... except fabric.

You have to treat the fabric with Bubble Jet Set before you print on it. Then after you attach it to the adhesive sheet, you run it thru your printer and let it dry then iron it to set the ink.

Wow, what a fantastic idea! When I make an applique project, I print the pieces onto the back of the fusible web. I have to tape the fusible web to a piece of copy paper and then send it thru my copier. These post it thingys will make that sooooo much easier! Thanks for the tip!!!

This sounds really cool and I have seen some awesome fabric picture projects but have never done any yet and don't quite understand exactly how it is done...Question for anyone, can you print pics on fabric with a laserjet or only a bubblejet? Or is that the same thing as an inkjet? I only have a color laserjet.

You have to use the paper to give your material stability before running it through a ink jet printer or it will not go, then paper is removed, after all the preparation is done. You have to treat material before printing with bubble jet stuff, not sure. Someone with more knowledge can step up and take over now.
