I make my own using Microsoft Word. I try to have at least 2 (better if I have 3) quilts that need labels so I can get the "most" out of a sheet of Computer Printer Fabric. I've also used the iron-on transfer labels from books.

I make my own. You need an inkjet printer to do it.
I spray 505 on a piece of 100 pct cotton and smooth it onto a sheet of printer paper.
I already have my design all set up in the computer and then I print it out. I then separate it from the printer paper and set the ink with a DRY iron.
I then wash it with cold water and vinegar for extra insurance and iron it again. This way if it is going to run (only usually because the cotton I thought was 100 pct was not), I know before putting it on the quilt.
Then I applique it onto the quilt back.
