    I had purchased a package of June Tailor Iron-On Quilt Label Fabric Sheets (for ink jet printers)...made the first label but didn't use it because:

    1 - the fabric seems very stiff and I didn't know if it would soften up appropriately (it would feel rough on the quilt)

    2 - I read the laundering instructions: May be washed by hand in cold water. Use a small amount of liquid fabric softener in water if soiled. DO NOT USE DETERGENT. [emphasis mine]...

    HUH? How can you gift a quilt that cannot be washed in detergent???

    Has anybody used this product?

    I used them on my grandkids' quilts and also thought they were very stiff. I don't know how they have washed...I'll have to check on that. :?:

    I sometimes use Iron On Transfers for Quilt Labels. It is a book of iron on transfers that you iron onto fabric and color with Pigma pens. They seem to be holding up well.

    I use the photo fabric and make my label on my computer then print. Comes out soft and I do have to hand sew on label but I get the look and feel that I want.

    I used those, but only in a wall hanging. My quilts are used and washed so they wouldn't work for that.

    I used those same iron ons and I never looked at the washing directions - I ironed it on then stitched around the edges and threw it in the washer with soap - turned out fine and not stiff - usually I am a stickler for directions guess this time it worked out better not reading them.
