I print mine with my computer. I've washed some several times, and they seem to hold up. With a baby quilt, however, and frequent washings, it might not last. Embroidery would be safer.

I love this quilt. The colors and prints are not traditional baby selections which make it so unique and wonderful. Great job!!!!

I just used a Thimbleberries fabric label on a quilt and used a gel pen, that is suppose to be permanent and waterproof. It didn't bleed and looked really good. However, I tried to make it more permanent by ironing over it numerous times. Think this might work?

Walmart carries a double ended pen, fine line and brush, just for use on fabrics, labels, decorations etc. Guaranteed not to come out in repeated washing. Many brands of labeling pens are sold made just for fabric.

I use a pigma micron pen. It does take awhile but the
sharpies do eventually fade out. I use an embroidery
machine most of the time now.

Adorable quilt. Lucky baby! I machine embroidery all my labels.

I embroider my labels too. And I use steam-a-seam II on the back so they adhere strongly to the quilt, then I stitch around the labels to give them that extra "you'll have to fight me to get me off and I'll win."

Really adorable quilt. I print out labels onto "Printed Treasures" fabric sheets for inkjet printers. I have never had a problem with ink disappearing...I put my label on just inside the corner so that when I sew on my binding it catches 2 sides of the label, then fold down the other 2 sides a 1/4" and hand sew it down.

I have a bottle of Bubble Jet Set that i treat 200 count muslin or a light color fabric from the quilt if the back is dark. then i iron it onto freezer paper making sure that at the feeding end i fold the paper over on itself, making sure i cover the edge of the fabric. Choose a font, add a picture, w2hatever-print it out. i run a test on reg. paper first. then i put it on a lower corner and sew it on with invisible thread. when i put the binding on it catches 2 edges. most of the time i try to put it on before quilting, but if i'm making it with no particular person in mind, i can't do it that way. i did my GS quilts and they have been washed tons of times and if they've faded, it's really not noticable. i always make sure the label gets ironed really well after the ink has had plenty of time to dry-it can smear.

Can you tell us the name of the pen? Thanks.

The monkeys on the quilt are adorable. Nice job.
