For the label I take a pice of freezer paper and iron a piece of fabric on the shinney side (no steam and I usually just use muslin) cut it exactly 11 X 81/2 (the size of typing paper) and put it in my printer. I design my label on the computer and then print it - I use HP Deskjet Ink. Then "peel" the fabric from the paper and take a hot dry iron and "set" the ink. You can wash the fabric and the ink doesn't come off or bleed. Try it on a scrap and wash it.
I have a Pfaff Grand Quilter - got it earlier this year - really love it - but I would like a larger quilting space - maybe someday. Hope I didn't bore you all - I may get up the courage to post some more pics.
