Now, I discover a misspelling. The small "h" should have been a "n". Do you know any method to remove a part of a letter? I tried a toothpick with bleach then ammonia. My letters were heat set. Now, what?
HP ink does not seem to wash out. I printed on scraps and ran through washer before I began to use this process routinely. My stays very well without bubble jet and just using any cotton fabric I have.

You might want to try a paint stix. Put some of the paint stix on another piece of freezer paper and then use a small paintbrush - toothpick possibly - and paint over the extended portion of the h. Or you could use acryllic fabric paint. It might be possible to create a design into the label with the paint and then remember to follow directions for the drying and heat setting of the paint.

Thank you so much for the tute. I have been wondering how to do this on my computer. This is a good thing for us on a fixed limited budget. Thanks again.

Thanks for your lesson. It's fun to make your own labels to go with your quilt. Another tip - make a pillowcase with matching trim to put your quilt in. When they use it on the bed, the pillow cases will match.

This is a great tute - I was wondering how to do this - I did look at the labels in Joann's but decided they were too expensive. Thank you.

Thanks Alikat -- I have only used the Printed Treasures method so am anxious to give this a try. Thanks for a great tutorial.

I thought I needed to buy a new sewing machine that will do embroidery. I am anxious to try this as I want to use my stash and kits before thinking about investing in a new machine. THANK YOU! Can't wait to try.

Thank you, Ali. Guess it will be after Easter before I can try paint stik. We'll see what happens. I appreciate the suggestions.

I bought the pkg of fabric for the printer only to find that it is not washable!!! Boy was I disppointed. Don't remember name of stuff but it was pricey.
