I make a lot of memory quilts that include photos which means I use a lot of the printable fabric sheets. I noticed the last time I used them, that the backing paper was still sticky and I had an idea. I cut a piece of fabric the same size as the backing and then created some labels on my computer. After I hand pressed the fabric to the sticky side of the sheet, I put it into my printer's paper tray (fabric side down) and printed the labels onto the fabric. It worked perfectly.
I serged around the labels before removing the paper but I could have removed it first. I found the paper gave the fabric more body so it was easier to serge. I removed the paper by, gently, making a slit in it with a stitch ripper.
If you try this, let me know how it worked for you.
We have a nice skiff of snow this morning. It should stay for the weekend which may put shoppers into a buying mood for the art clubs sale.
Isn't this an adorable wall hanging. I much prefer St. Nicholas to Santa Claus. I hope it finds a buyer who likes it as much as I do.
Blessings,
Pretty darn chilly here this morning, but we missed the snow. (I'm on the other side of Algonquin Park.) I have one quilt needing to be hand stitched and then I'm DONE with quilting. It just isn't pleasurable anymore. My arthritis has gotten so bad in my hands, it's difficult to hold that little needle. I can still knit though, as long as it is natural fiber.
