I have always been told to use the sigma pens to make labels. I have never liked the results. I machine embroider most of my labels. Not my favorite thing to do. A friend swears by the ink jet printed labels. I'm not impressed with them either. They fade much too fast. I will have to try the Nano liners. Thanks for the info. I might have to stop at Hobby Lobby tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up about the Nano liners. I will have to buy one. I tried a perma pen and then I washed and scrubbed the fabric and the writing disappeared.

I have used these (or one very similar) for years. Marked MIL clothes when she was in the nursing home, quilt labels, etc. They lasted through the heavy duty laundry at the nursing home.

My friend had a bigger mess than you. She used a damp cloth to get something off the quilt and it soaked in and made a mess of the quilt. Some of the ink ran and others did not. It was a beautiful quilt and ruined.
