My laptop died on me, so my embroidery software went away with it. Until I get a new laptop I am going to have to make a quilt label by hand.
Yes, I know it would look better stitched out, but I need to get this gift done by Christmas and I can’t swing a new laptop until after the holidays.
What pens/markers do you use on your quilt labels? Something that won’t wash out within a time or three would be great.
Thanks!

You could also use printer fabric and print a label.

Is there any one near you that could make your label and transfer to USB for you.
What format does your machine use? Good luck!

I don't know of anyone near me to make the file and email it to me. I typically use Hus or Pes, but have used others. The colors are just funky when I open it.
Hm...printer fabric.....that might work....if not I'll try the micron pen. Can I get that anywhere do you know?

Pentel just got smart and actually developed a pen that is MEANT for fabric. This pen is awesome. Have done 5 test washes and it has not faded or run at all. The ink is as black as when I first wrote with it!
