is it possible to make a quilt label with a pen?
#11
I started using pressure sensitive stabilizer for labels. It's quite heavy so it keeps them very stable, and when done you just remove it. I've done several "memory" type quilts and have provided others fabric squares and markers to write on it, and then incorporated it into the back of the quilt (last one had ten 12" squares that people signed).

I iron my label to freezer paper to stabilize, write it with a Frixion pen so I get the spacing correct and then use a Pigma.
I work at the ironing board so the iron is handy to "erase" if the spacing doesn't work. I just made 3 quilts for great grands and put the name, date of birth made by Nana and signed it. It will be a remembrance so they know who I was.

Sorry, permanent markers, including sharpies are not as permanent as you might think. As everyone else says, Pigma pens are much more permanent. They are available in most pen sections of a store and in art and office stores, too.
