Well everyone... I took a piece of the fabric "dry clean only" sheets...typed out my label, iron set the ink and then put it in my lingerie bag and washed it as I would the quilt..warm wash warm dry. I took it out and..it was fine! Wrinkled, but tine! I did this on muslin once and the ink washed out. But other than the wrinkles..it was fine! So..what's the purpose of dry cleaning if it doesn't shrink/distort if you wash it? But, I dry ironed it, then spray starched it and other than having to watch pulling it as it is a bit stretchy...it was fine. I think to combat the wrinkles, I'll make the whole label and then wash THAT and see how that works. Tune in next week for the conclusion! But thanks everyone for suggestions. I used to ...back in the day...embroider ALOT but now as the twilight years are looming in my future... I just can't get my eyes to cooperate anymore or I'd do that!
