is it possible to make a quilt label with a pen?
I only have an ink jet printer at our home. My laser is up north. I would like to make a label for a quilt I am making and was wondering if there was some type of pen I could use to write the label and then sew it on. I would like it to be washable and last!
Thanks

I've used pigma pens to make labels quite a bit. I have them in several colors. I'll do up the label on my computer and print it out, then use a light table (or window) and put the print under the fabric and use that as a guide to get a very nice label.

Labels with pens
Pigma or Pentel extra fine pens work well. Back the material that you want to use for the label with Steam-A-Seam light or some other light weight interfacing for ease of writing. Use a Frixion pen to mark guidelines for your words on the label. After you are finished with the lettering use a steam iron held above the Frixion lines to remove them. Do a test label first.
