    Is there a method for creating a totally washable label that can be washed in warm water with detergent and dried on low in the dryer? I cannot imagine that baby quilts are not going to need that.

    There are people here that will embroider them for you for a reasonable fee.

    Thank you Wolfkitty but I really want to make my own. I already have some designed but all the printable fabric is either dry clean only or wash in cold water with no detergent.
    BTW I know Elmira, NY. Years ago (in the 70's) my ex husbands Mother and Step-Dad had a farm in Elmira and we use to go there often (We lived in Vestal and Chenango Bridge). Beautiful area. We were there in '72 when everything was flooded.
