Thank you for sharing!! I have a Cricut Maker and for whatever reason never thought about using it to make labels. I can't wait to try with the Cricut and the other options you shared.

[@Mellysews]

Glad you liked it!

[@bettekrise8463]

If you have the Cricut Maker you can cut fabric on it so you can print and cut the labels right on that.

[@Mellysews]

That could be an option for people with those tools

[@laurielasley6568]

Thanks, I did not think of making vinyl ones. I have brother scan n cut and will be doing that today, thanks

[@Mellysews]

Have fun!

[@karenstimson2683]

You could also use the cutting machine to draw your label either on fabric or on some kind of fabric tape, using a permanent marker or pen.

[@Mellysews]

Yes, if your machine has that option

[@eduardachi2571]

thank you first video i have seen on making garment labels

[@Mellysews]

You’re welcome 😊

[@npigwnl]

Thank you so much for sharing, especially the fabric printing option (I had no idea you could order small quantities!) and the cutting machine option. Creative juices are flowing 😄

[@Mellysews]

You are so welcome!

[@joyscranfield5527]

Been looking for a way to make labels! TY, Melly Sews!

[@Mellysews]

Thanks for watching!

[@curtriceennis2924]

Because I don't have all the required "things" to download designs, etc., the only way I can make labels- of the four mentioned here - is the first one where you stamp the letters on the 'tape.' TY for sharing these ideas with us, though - very helpful.

Great video. I very much like how to have a variety of ways . Thank you.

Thank you

[@hey_virginia]

This is brilliant! I've only used bulky options like faux leather custom printed labels from Etsy, or time consuming options like hand embroidery. Brilliant! Thank you!!!

[@Mellysews]

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much ! It is very use full !!

The link isn’t working and so i tried to type it in google but it says it’s permanently closed down 😢

[@Mellysews]

Not sure what you typed but the post is here mellysews.com/make-clothing-tags-3-options/

[@thesparrowsnest8343]

Lots of great ideas. I’m going to try using my Cricut. Will it stand up to multiple washings?

[@Mellysews]

It should stand up to washing as well as any other heat transfer - if you're using them on the front of the shirt, this is the same.

[@teteetetee3745]

Hey for the third method how did you print the label and what kind of material did you use? Is this all being done with the sewing machine?

[@Mellysews]

I'm confused by the question. I mention the specific fabric shop and material I used to print the blue labels in the video?

[@armyxkookie9464]

It’s a little ambiguous, I had to rewatch. But I believe you order it and they send it to you already printed

[@tinaka4605]

thanks for sharing. I like No 4, the bonus, since I just started with vinyl. What size/height wouzl you recommend including the part I need for the seems of the label?

[@Mellysews]

If you're asking about my custom fabric ones, I list my measurements in the post I linked in the video description.

[@tinaka4605]

@@Mellysews sorry I missed to check it

[@geraldineself6017]

Thank you so much. Do you think the heat transfer would iron on to the twill tape?

[@Mellysews]

Probably, but I'd try a sample first.

[@altheaprass]

Ty, very useful

[@Mellysews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheMsvo]

I didn't see the brand and size of the stamps or the twill or the link to the ink. Would you mind pointing it out? :) 😀 Thank you for sharing.

[@Mellysews]

The blog post linked in the video description has all the details.

[@ahmadabutalib5836]

What did you use for the material I heard ribbon but didn't hear other great video ty

[@Mellysews]

I'm not sure which material you're asking about, but I linked a post with more details and sources in the video description.

@@Mellysews thanks

[@RosequartzDivination]

What fabric material was the last one? The one u ordered feom myfabric designs.

[@Mellysews]

Quilting cotton

[@RosequartzDivination]

@@Mellysews thank you

[@fitherbalifestyle.4691]

Oh no! Seems like my fabric design have closed down the shop, not sure if for the holiday or permanently. Is there another alternative for fabric printing?

[@Kevagoddess]

Can you sew with a regular machine that does not have letters

[@Mellysews]

I don't understand your question. If your machine doesn't have letter stitches, how would you do them?

[@Kevagoddess]

@@Mellysews yes mine doesn’t have letter stitches

[@Mellysews]

So then you can't do that because your machine doesn't have the stitch.

[@lilyibble4981]

3:10 How do you change the color of the Fabric you order from here?

[@Mellysews]

You add whatever colors you want to the design before you upload it and they print it on the fabric.

[@Darzy330]

Does the vinyl stay long?

[@Mellysews]

It stays at least as long as the print on the "tag less" shirts I've purchased.

Do u know how to make it an iron on???

You’d have to add wonder under or a similar two sided adhesive to the back.
