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.

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.

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
