How To Make Your Own Fabric Labels In Your Printer 

Thank you for the video! I used to make my own. It has been a while so great to be reminded. One little tip I remembered from before: you can use Freezer paper vs printer paper. The freezer paper has a shiny side, when you place that on your fabric and press it, it will adhere to your fabric. Then trim your fabric& paper before loading into the printer. Thank you again, very useful information!!!

Re: Ink smearing or being washed out after setting the ink on you labels. Suggestion: TRY USING Scotchgard Heavy Duty Water Shield spraying it on your labels, dry, then iron set it with a cloth over your labels. After set, you can wash and iron your labels.

Hands down the best label tutorial I have watched. Thank you so much.

This is a great way too make labels! It worked great going through my ink jet printer! But one thing to note is that if you use colored ink it will wash out, so if your making something that may get put in the washer I recommend just using black ink. And just FYI the black ink didn’t wash out at all. So I’m very happy about that 😁

I almost bought labels yesterday but I just really wanted to make my own. Thank you for sharing your method and printer experience. From your repeated comments it sounds like someone gave you grief bc their project didn’t come out right. Shame on them. I found a rotary cutter that pinks the edges. I use it for everything now. I had one quilt top that wanted to ravel and I didn’t want to experience that ever again! I think it would be good to cut the labels too .

Thank you for this video. It really helped me to decide on what and how to make my labels. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I needed labels asap and came across your video. I've printed on cork fabric and they come out very nice. Thank you so much!!!

Omg ! Tammy this is exactly what I was looking for!😍 I've been paying for my labels thanks to you I can save money! Now printing my own personal Labels I made one sheet to try it out worked great I even put my photo in my label looks awesome 😁 Thank you so much Tammy you Rock!🤩

Thank you for sharing! First time seeing this way of making labels, pretty cool!

Well I did them and they turned out 👍👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 great. Sturdy and just what I wanted on them. The software from Avery was a bit tricky to use but it turned out great. Thank you again.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

OMG!!! I just used your technique and made my own labels after considering purchasing some. They came out fantastic!!! Best explanation about how to create them from start to finish. Can't wait to make more and add them to my projects! You're a ROCK STAR!

Thank you so much! I enjoyed your video. I was able to create my own labels with no problem. Your instructions were very clear.

Great detailed information. Thank you very much for going through all of the trouble to teach us this information. Have a great life!

I REALLY appreciate you. I was able to print my logo off with no problem! ♥️

I am so happy that I looked at your video... I created my labels yesterday and printed out my labels today... just perfect!!! Thanks again.

This worked beautifully! Thank you so much!

Great instructions. Enjoyed. Thanks!

So far this is the best trick to making labels at home for me. I tried a couple of different methods, including the freezer paper and I kept getting jammed papers. Thank you so much!

Thank you. They came out great!

Thank you so much for sharing. I've done all sorts of things to create my own labels and your method is it. GOD BLESS you for being my Angel.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I will be doing it this way!

- Thanx 4 sharing. VERY helpful. Info was clear & "digestible."

Thanks your video has been the best I’ve seen regarding this. It has been very helpful.😊

Thank you for showing this method so easy to follow and understand.

Thanks, I can't wait to make some labels!

Great info. Thanks for this!

Thank you at last someone shows a laser printer version. I did this on my Samsung laser and it worked. I am so happy.

You are WONDERFUL for this trick! I didn't have the glue that you had, so I just used the 3M Super 77 since I had it. I also used Microsoft Word. Came out beautifully! Thanks again!!!

02-20-21: I did it and it came out beautifully with no problems with my printer. Thanks again, Tammy. You have saved me some moolah and I'm a happy girl...YEA!!

Thank you so much Tammy! This was such a comprehensive and well taught video. I recently purchased some labels and they are really nice but after receiving one sheet of 100 labels I kind of feel robbed for the price I paid. I need a few different labels and don't plan to pay that much again which put me on the hunt for how to make my own. I can't wait to try this! I'm one step closer because I just created my Avery account. Thanks again Tracey!

Great video. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this information, your instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I have been making individual labels for my quilts with a micron pen, (time consuming) especially since I make two or three quilts a week. This will allow me to spend more time at my longarm or piecing. Thanks again.

Thank younso much for sharing , great video!!!!❤

Just stumbled across your tutorial. OMG!!! Positively AWESOME!! I really appreciate the detail you went to explaining every aspect of what you did. I tried another tutorial recently successfully but yours appears significantly easier. Can’t wait to try. Mega thanks😘

This is the best video l have found on label making! I have been looking for a while to find a quick and affordable way to make labels instead of ordering some online. Thank you so much! 😃

02-20-21: Great googamooga, Tammy, this is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I'm so loving it and can't wait to get busy. You go girl and TFS!

cool!!! hope it works as well for my printer! I will give it a try! Thanks for sharing!

Very informative, thank you!

This was so helpful! Thank you.

Thank u so very much, great tutorial !!! Blessings

Fantastic video! Thank you so much!

Thank you for such a detailed tutorial.

Great job on the instructions. I wondered about the spray glue. I think the kind you have is what I will try. also will try freezer paper.

This is amazing! Thank you so much ☺️

I liked going to JoAnnes with you! I’ve sewn for years but had no clue about the premium muslin, or the grades of it. Nor would I think to look in the remnant pile for it and the fusible goods too! Also I didn’t know about the Aileens tacky spray. This is a game changer for me! Thanks!

Excellent, thank you. The labels look great x

Best diy label vidéo ever .. thank you

worked fab, thank you

I iron my fabric unto freezer paper cut to size and it holds to get it through the printer.

Thank you. Good information. For those who sew, it's the "straight grain of the fabric" that is the up and down lines and that edge on either side of the fabric is the "selvedge edge" (goes in the same "up/down line" as the straight grain) it is not the bias. The "bias" is a 45 degree angle from the selvedge and has the most stretch. Do you use the fusible for things that will be washed?

Thank u very much, great tutorial .

Thank you so much!! It worked!!

Thank you Tammy!!!

It’s very helpful thanks a lot

I did it!!!! Thank you so much.

Nice video. You gave more than enough warnings 😳. Thanks for the information 😊👍💕

Great info thank you

thank you for the information

just did a trial on satin ribbon -- very pleased w/the result! thank you!

Awesome😃thank you for sharing❤️

Thanks! It worked perfectly in my ink jet. I used my homemade quilt basting spray...

Aloha😊 I was going to order labels but you made it look simple. I will let you know how it turned out when I'm done. God Bless

fantastic video, thanyou so much

ok the silk worked even better and the ink didn't budge once iron heat set even after wash, thanks for this video

Thank you so much .

Love this I just made mine

Wow. Thank you.

Thank you!

Tammy, you are a great teacher. You are very easy to follow. Can these be done if you have a Scan&Cut? I have fabric labels that was done in Bangkok, Thailand 15 years ago for $100 for 7,500 minimum but have designed my own art on the labels. I have been sewing for 51 years and was garment sewing for a long time. I sewed scrubs, doctors and nurses scrubs hats and many more long time ago. Now, I would like to start making personalized custom embroidery hoodies. I am now semi-retired and would like to start this home business, maybe after they let me retire from giving Covid vaccines at work. Thank you for sharing your talent to us. Creative minds works in mysterious ways.

Great work and very creative 🤩👏👏😎

Omg this video is super awesome. New subscriber here🙋🏻‍♀️ Thank you for sharing. I’ll definitely be trying this method!

Excellent! Thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to learn this for the longest time! Next, I want to learn to print labels that can be sewn on a baby item ex- Sweet One, Daddy’y Girl, Angel, names. I’d plan to print, cut out and sew them on the front of the toy or garment. Same process just different sized text! What fabric? This is my favorite video ALL YEAR. Thank you. So much!

Thanks for sharing ^_^ !

Gday, here in australia, i think we call muslin , calico……thanks for great video, xx

Thanks!

I used a heavy cotton linen that I ironed to the fusable double sticky web left paper on so it was on paper, the paper is slippery though so I kinda had to trick it through my hp, I did read comments and tried color and black ink , color washed out , black ink stayed , super awesome , I'm gna try silk fabric tomorrow , this works in a pinch

Usually a good 200 thread count muslin is also good. Lately 100% cotton white ticking fabric is really nice for me, I also paint my own fabric sometimes.

Hi Tammy. This is quite interesting and I think I'd like to experiment with my Epson Inkjet printer. I was thinking after the labels were heat set, why not use lightweight interfacing to limit fraying and that way you can have straight edges rather that ones cut using the pinking shears. Anyone try that yet?

Great share video Tammy. PS JoAnns

Just the thing i was looking for. Thank you for the detailed video with step by step instructions I have created my account on Avery today and will be trying to make these labels soon. Cant wait to make them. I jad a question about the tacky spray though, is there an alternative for that ? Would the basting spray work too ? Please reply if you know it. Thanks a million in advance 🙏🏻🙏🏻

hi this worked perfectly for my injet printer thank you so much for the tip how to make labels will the black ink run when hand washed amazing tip :)

Hey! I have that bag 😍

I iron the fabric onto a4 freezer paper then run it through my printer then peel off and reuse. Easy Peasy.

I just wanted to say the Aleene's tacky spray is super tacky and after I printed on the fabric the paper was so stuck to the fabric I wind up ripping the paper and stretching the fabric. Ironing did seem to help. The Aleene's spray also has a foul odor that smells like rotten onions. I used Spray and Bond Basting adhesive. No odor and the paper peeled right off. Anyone else have any inconsistencies with the spacing of the printed label when it comes to cutting? I set this up to work with my Cricut, didn't cut properly due to inconsistent feed through the printer. But all in all a really great idea Tammy has here. Thanks for sharing Tammy.

Hi Tammy. Thanks for your time in explaining the how to. I would like to know HOW do you add text into the other half of the lablel, please?

This looks great! I was wondering if its possible to print on different types of fabric such as another type of cotton that has a shiny finish? Thank you!

Hello tammy Im new here to ur vlogs and im inspirered by u so thank u so much Where do u get ur material from as i live in the uk? I have a canon printer so will it b ok to try it on there as im new at this but wood love to try this out? Do u have any tips 4 me as iv got dyslexic? I need all the help i can get too try it out Great vlog and iv just liked ur vlog and now im going yo look at some of ur other vlogs Thank u ❤❤❤

What is the best cloth to use to keep from fraying? Straight cut.

Great video! Thank you! Are these washable? I am wondering if I can use them on clothing that will be washed ..? Thank you for any additional information you can provide. :)

Hello tammy U asked us is there anything we wood like to c u make and i were wondering wood it b possible for u to make an apron a halagen oven cover and a food mixing cover please? Thanks again 4 ur great vlog❤❤❤

Have you tried using freezer paper to iron your fabric to, to go through the printer....It can be reused many times too! TFS

Thank you for the video. Are they washable n won't smear ink?

Hello, after ironing them, the labels/wording will be waterproof? It can be washed without problem?Thank you

What kind of printer are you using. And when you are loading the paper did the blue paper go down or up. Thank you. Great video

I was waiting for the Iron On, is the remnant iron on or do you do the adhesive?

Can you share what printers you all have used?

They have pinking rotary blades

If I wanted to do the iron on instead of sewing the label, do I have to use fusible ink?

Is it washable? Thanks

Are these Machine Washable with Setting the InkJet ink w/an Iron ?
