    Default Printable Fabric Sheet Recommendations?

    I have tried June Taylor sheets. They were awful. They were like trying to sew through plastic. They would barely bend.

    Has anyone tried "EQ Printables - Sewable Ink Jet Fabric Sheets"? The reviews are kind of odd. Some say they are hard to sew through, yet others say they are soft. One review says it was good on a baby quilt. (I saw them on Amazon.)

    Labels are always a trial for me. I am really slow at embroidery, so I have to have plenty of time (and I hate doing it).

    Is there a simple answer?

    I use to use the EQ printables for photos going on pillows or in quilts. Liked the way they felt and didn’t have a problem sewing with them.

    I too found the printables, too hard to stitch through by hand.

    Instead, I machine stitch some fabric around it first,
    then do the hand stitching to attach.

    Better still ... framing it up, makes it all much prettier!

    I used to use the EQ printables for labels (back when I actually did labels). I found that they were very difficult to stitch through by hand, but worse than that was the fact that the printing on them faded very quickly.
