Quilt Labels -- Kindof
I am thinking of printing labels on my home printer for the books for my library quilt. Can anyone tell me if these labels will fade over time from washing. Any suggestions on how to keep the ink in the fabric so it will last. Thanks ahead of time for any thoughts on this.

The fabric labels should have instructions on how to "colorset" the ink. My labels instruct you to rinse label (after printing and removal of paper backing) in cold water; gently blot excess water with paper towel, lay flat and press until dry. Super easy and mine did not bleed at all.

It depends somewhat on the type of ink the printer uses. Here is an article (which I have only skimmed) that talks about different types of ink: http://www.gloriahansen.com/weblog/?p=6060
