When I saw the cute label that mops had on her doll that she digitized, embroidered, and shared with us(Thank-you so much, mops)I thought, "I gotta get me some of those." Well, I have always loved to work out challenges. Isn't it a part we all enjoy? Sense of accomplishment, anyone? Anyway, I have a printer that is at least 10 years old, and a Printshop edition that is certainly as old.

I took a piece of cardstock, very lightly sprayed with some of my temporary embroidery spray, placed a piece of fabric on the cardstock. I then cut the fabric to the size of the cardstock.

Very good brain storming and coming up with a very good product. I'm sure you'll design many more to match or compliment your work.

Thank-you. I was just so excited with the end results, that I wanted to share. So many people on this site share so much and I don't know how to digitize yet, but I did have this idea....

They look great and it's a lot of work. Well done. I just ordered them and the text is woven in. I've only a few left, so maybe I'll follow your example...

Thanks, mops. I love you for sparking my imagination. It didn't seem like so much work to me. Fabric on cardboard, fabric through printer, rotary cut off basting stitches,iron on another piece of fabric to back, rotary cut labels. Done.

Thank-you. It worked for me. Mostly, I just didn't want to spend any extra money so I tried to use the items I had on hand.

That's a good question. I'll have to experiment with that. These were for items that will not be washed.
