tip:
Here’s a quick overview of how to print and apply your label:
Step 1: Print the label on a specially treated fabric sheet,
which goes right into your printer.
You can purchase the sheets, or make your own using your
favorite cotton fabric. Making your own fabric sheets
requires some planning and time. But it can be easy,
fun, and economical. To learn more, click the Help
button, click “printing your designs,” and then click
“using fabric sheets.”
Step 2: Remove the backing from the sheet.
Step 3: Rinse the fabric sheet in water to remove any excess
ink following the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Step 4: Cut out the fabric label and sew it onto your quilt.
tip:
Changes you make in the Text Controls area apply to the entire
text box. Create separate text boxes to vary the text styles.
