I won't bother with it from now on. The book, "Crafted Appliqué" says that it washes well. I have a new printer too and am still uncertain about printing fabric. The one time I tried, it was fine. I will print again in the next couple of days. My biggest problem has historically been with the color being "washed out." That is why I saturate the dickens out of the image before printing, and so far it has worked well.Mardihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441853212561007840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507398062654805736.post-39737636586773217252017-04-06T08:36:47.010-06:002017-04-06T08:36:47.010-06:00Have you liked the Modpodge?

So no problems with my wall hangings, but I'd hate my baby quilt labels to fade. Love my new inkjet for printing - it doesn't choke on cloth like my old printer.<br /><br />I used to take photos of a fabric to add to the label. Never thought of doing one of the quilt. That's a fun idea. I've had problems with color shift when I've tried this in the past, but you've reminded me I should try it again, with the new printer.<br /><br />Good stuff, all of this. Thanks!PaintedThreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07430500003121265452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507398062654805736.post-14454950778495064632017-04-05T10:25:53.652-06:002017-04-05T10:25:53.652-06:00Labels are not my favorite, nor are hanging sleeve...Labels are not my favorite, nor are hanging sleeves.

I typically hand embroider my labels for that added handmade touch.

I agree with you - our quilts/afghans and other handmade projects need labels for prosperity's sake!
