Making Quilt Labels using freezer paper....anyone know the tecnique?

Can anyone tell me how to make quilt label using freezer paper and my inkjet printer...

I heard that you iron on the freezer paper to the fabric. This makes the fabric slide through the computer. I haven't tried this but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Thank you, I will give it a try.

Yes, that is what you do, but because I have had trouble in the past, this is what I do. I iron the freezer paper onto the fabric, I usually use muslin. Make sure you iron it real good so that the paper is stuck down all over. Then I cut out the 8 1/2 x 11 piece I need in order to put it into the printer. Don't cut ahead of time and set aside as the muslin will fray. (I tried doing several to set aside and when I went to use them, because they had been moved around, the top was kinda frayed and got stuck in the printer). Then put in the printer so that when the printer gets ready to print on it, that side will be up. Hit print, hold your breath and cross your fingers. I can usually get it to work 99% of the time. The other 1%, I say a few words and try again.

Hope this helps.
