Thank you, I just used mine again 😱, love them ‼️. Thanks for watching my channel😊

[@70acres]

I have a sublimation printer and make labels that way. I have 40+ years of graphics experience and design my labels in the Adobe suite of applications. The down side to sublimation is it works best on 100% poly. The up side is it will never fade, even with pure bleach on it. And shirting weight poly makes a great label. You can use a powder on your sublimation print out that will allow it to be put on cotton, but it feels kinda sticky like a t-shirt transfer. Love those pins! I got the number pins from, I think, "Marilee" and use them. God bless.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Yes, sublimation printers are the best for labels. We're looking into an Epson tankless style with sublimation ink.

Hi. Just found you! Enjoyed your video and loved your hallowe’en quilt! Your label was great and unique!! I am new at quilting, but my labels get put in the corner, triangular shape, and I just use the font on my machine. One baby quilt, I labeled with “Sugar and Spice and everything nice”…yup for a girl. Also when I bind my quilt, I stitch it on the back, bring it forward to the front, folding it just over the stitching line, stitch close to the edge (use matching thread in my bobbin to the back) and stitch. Not in the ditch, and I find I get a more satisfying result. Love the pin idea too!

Great idea Anndalynn, I love corner labels. Thanks for watching my channel😊‼️

[@elizabethharris1398]

I don't have Instagram. I made button holes to hang it with shower rings. I didn't quilt it and didn't add a backing. That way it's not that heavy and hangs really good. I'd send you a picture, but don't know how

Hi Pat! Let me tell you about sister, she’s a buff Orpington breed which is a non-aggressive breed and she lets the other girls boss her around. She lets the other chickens packet her and boy have they pet she has no feathers around her neck or on her bum😳 I don’t dare show her because people will think I’m abusing her. But she is happy and lays lots of eggs. Thanks for asking about sister and thank you for watching my videos Pat, I appreciate you.

@@sisterchicksquilting what color eggs does she lay. Sometimes we are able to get a dozen with all different shades from light blur to green, all shades of brown to almost a pinky brown, we all wish we could have a few chicks here, but our HOA would have a fit, keep making videos, I love ‘em!

[@jetbossard7923]

As a long time Printer and Graphic Designer, I might be able to give you some helpful information on making labels for your quilts. For one thing, InkJet prints on freezer paper are handy, but they will fade in the wash or just exposed to UV lighting in a matter of short order. Use to be Silk Screen printing of color on textiles (fabrics) was the permanent solution. Now we have come a long way with Sublimation printing. I make labels and photo blocks using Sublimation. It is heat bonded, forms a gas, and makes your colors pop and last nearly forever!! Might look into that avenue. I use to do quilt labels for my clients when I had a printery years ago, and we printed on 'transfer sheets' photos, etc. Even for photo quilt blocks, those were subject to fading. Definitely encourage you and your readers to look into sublimation printing photo quilt blocks and labels. If you don't want to make the investment, there are lots of etsy businesses who offer the service. Loved your video. Thanks.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

This is great information, thank you‼️ I’d like a sublimation printer. We’re looking into getting an Epson, Infinity series and found it we can get the sublimation ink for the reservoirs. Thanks again and thanks for watching my channel 😍❣️

[@jetbossard7923]

@@sisterchicksquilting I have the Epson F170 it has an ecotank. You do know if you convert a pigment printer into a sublmation printer you can never use it for regular ink again, right, and you sometimes void your warranties. Epson has an inexpensive large format printer, which I plan to get next time. Its the Ecotank 15000, just don't use the pigment inks that come with and only put sublimation ink. I hear there are some great Inks out there that are not Epson inks that work just as well. Glad to help.

Last night I first heard the phrase sublimation printer! I would for sure just support an Etsy shop for my limited needs, but I am not sure I would have thought of it. Thank You!

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

Thanks for that information. I have been trying to work sublimation into my T-shirt making but I need to make some money to buy one. I’ve been praying my inkjet would die so I could use that as my excuse. Lol.

[@carolynbrown1774]

I had to rush out and get the earing backs. I already had the alphabet Beads- granddaughters! Love them!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

You sound as excitd as I am to have these pins.Thanks for watching Carolyn!!

[@annevosper6344]

Super Cool!!!😊

[@sisterchicksquilting]

In high school we woud say, "Super, keen, groovy cool." These pins jjust might fit that, lol. Thanks Ann for watchign my channel, I appreciate it.

Awesome LABEL ideas!!! I machine embroider mine: Stitched with Love... My Name and the Date. I heard on another channel for a comfort quilt: Wrapped in My Love ... etc.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I love those ideas and if I ever get a bigger house I might go for an embroidery machine. Thanks for watching my channel 🐥😊

[@linetteevans8337]

Hi Di. My quilt labels start with a 5x5 square.I rinse it out to remove sizing. Iron it dry. I use the ink jet printer to type out what I want label to say. All my quilts get named/titled,maker,any notes,and date. I than use purple school glue onto the paper,outer edges only, place the fabric square on it pressing firmly,place in printer and hit print. Heat set with iron. I would love to see how you got Frank on yours!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Purple school glue? In a glue stick? That’s a great idea 💡! I designed him using Canva a free online design software. It’s pretty easy to learn. Then put the fabric backed with freezer paper in the print tray and hit print. I do pull the freezer paper off and iron to set the ink. I think I’ll make a Tuesday video about the process. Thanks for watching then commenting😊‼️

[@linetteevans8337]

@@sisterchicksquilting I will be looking for that tutorial! Thank you

[@brendaholder2260]

I made pins like those a couple of weeks ago, they really are helpful🙂 But I want to try your way with the plastic backs! I had the slippage problem also

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Awesome, The super glue will do the trick if you can’t find the tiny tubes. Thanks for watching Brenda😍‼️

[@sisterchicksquilting]

I didn’t look at the size I just bought what they had on the Shelf.

[@lindadevito2223]

Just wanted to let you know that I made the alphabet pins that you showed us. They came out great. My suggestion is to use the longest pin you can find. I used a pin 1.75 inches. Thanks again for a great tutorial.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thank you for telling me Linda, I knew I had to share at the minute I saw them. Thank you for watching my channel, I really appreciate it‼️🐥

Thank you for the information.

You're so welcome Shiela and thank you for watching my channel.

[@marlapavelzik9766]

I just made a label a few weeks ago, my first one. Instead of freezer paper, I used Heat n Bond lite. Cut the fabric 9x12, the Heat n Bond lite I cut to 8 8 3/4 x 11.5 , fused it to the fabric then cut to 8 1/2x11 and put into printer. I had to heat press the label with iron after printing.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Heat and Bond lite, wow😱 I’ve never heard of that. Was it stiff when you sewed it on? I think I forgot to say in the video that I pull the freezer paper off before I sew it on. I l love hearing different ideas, I will be better about making labels now that I have so many. Thank you Marla😊❣️

[@dawnsnyder216]

That is so cool and I am going to make a set. I have used sticky notes

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Awesome 👍🏼😊

[@sharonclass4133]

Love the alpha pins. Going to get the supplies this weekend! Thank you. I'm going to try to find your free softwear, Canva, is what I heard. Hope that's correct. Thanks

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Yes the software is Canva.com. It's a slight learning curve but I click help a lot and I'm finding that I dont have to as much as I did when I started using it this January. Thanks for watchign my channel Sharon :) !!

[@MichelleLHiga]

I made a set by simply writing the letters on butterfly pins with a fine point sharpie. This is a cute idea, though!

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Great idea Michelle! Thank you for watching my channel 😊‼️

[@sandrabaltz9356]

I also made my set using alphabet squares. The hole have a slight dent. Putting a drop of school glue in the dent, put the pin in and let it dry. No slippage, no earring backs and no glued fingers. Enjoy

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Oh come on! I bet you missed having super glue on your fingers, ha, ha, ha! Great idea and glad you’re using them. Thanks for your comment and for watching😍‼️

[@donnareid9221]

What a great idea!!!!! I’m going to make some today!!!! 🎉

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

@Sandra Baltz Thank you. I will try the square's, & school glue. (No extra purchase of eating back's.) I'm all in on saving a few bucks. That way I can buy more fabrics, right lol. This is the first time I've seen Sister Chicks Quilting. Isn't she great ? I just love her personality. Thanks again Sandra. From Maine Jenny. 🦞🐳🦌🌲🎃🍃🍁🌾🍂

[@joane8651]

What a clever idea! Glad to hear the engineer is coming home, miss his snarky comments...

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Thanks Joanne. I think he’s anxious to comment, it’s really hard for him to not say anything😂😂❣️

[@joane8651]

@@sisterchicksquilting When I heard you talking about it I thought about my Dad and how he got up off the hospital bed and said he was going home, he wouldn't listen to doctors or anyone, so belligerent. He just wanted to be taken care of by Mom and that was it. Me, I would love someone taking care of me, cooking etc...lol.

[@lnino0313]

The alpha bitty idea is great! 😀👍 I was thinking of putting a drop of glue right under the ball on the pin and slide the alphabet bead to the ball so that the bead does not spin around.

[@sisterchicksquilting]

That’s a great idea too! Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching😊🐥

[@khaas5513]

The pins are such a fantastic idea. I live in a ridiculously remote area. 3.4 hours one way, nothing in between to the nearest small Walmart, fast food joint (and not even the good one). If you could or thought about including links to Amazon that would be over the moon helpful. Also, if you had links to fabric sources, that would be magnificent. My favorite is Halloween 🎃 too. Recently found you and am addicted! Thank You 😊

[@sisterchicksquilting]

Sorry about your addiction, NOT! LOL :) I bought the alpha beads and earing backs at Michaels craft store and I bet Amazon has them too. Did you google either of those sources? I bet they would show up. My favorite online fabric source is Hancocks of Paducha, they have everything and great sales too. Thank you for watching my channel K :)

[@khaas5513]

I hope this is how to reply. 😬😅 I appreciate your help and bright💡idea's!! Very much!! I will check those sources out today. 🙂Amazon can be overwhelming, that helps a lot to know about Michael's narrowing down the correct size. Excited for the reference for fabric. Very much appreciated! Thank you so much. 🤩😊🤩

[@sandybruce9092]

Amazon does have the alphabet beads - about 12 for each numeral all packed in individual small plastic boxes which are then out into one larger box. They do come with the stuff people use for making bracelets but the price right - now here in April 2024 is a little under $7!

[@sandybruce9092]

I’ll make sure to write me a note about the alphabet beads, etc. for when I go over to Walmart - yes, I do keep a hand written list on paper!

[@cristabeardsley6319]
