You just saved me a whole bunch of money, and time, and energy, and sanity!!! Thanks sooo much for the video! You're awesome and spoonflower is awesome! I do embroidery by hand, and I was literally considering doing 300 labels by hand cuz ordering them is an expense that I can't take on right now. Thanks again😀😀👏👏💖💖

Ms. Melaine Ham, this shared tutorial was very helpful! I never thought to use interfacing with the labels but I certainly will add that step in my process of finishing my product. I wish you continued success!

Thanks so much for sharing this idea for making fabric labels. I was about to order from another site and spend $44 on only 100 label. This has saved me a TON of money!! Thanks again!

Paula Anderson That's awesome, I'm so glad!!

Thank you Melanie this is so helpful and I can’t wait for my order! All your vids are so organized and methodic making it so easy for beginners. Thanks for sharing all the tips! 👏

Wow I love how you have made you label. It's so gorgeous and simple 😍

Thanks for the information and tutorial, Melanie! I've been looking for a simple label to add to my projects and I think this type will actually be quick and easy! Awesome! :)

You can upload your image size and set up all the "repeats" on the spoonflower site within their editing system, makes it super easy!! So it works for any size image and is fully customizable.

I was so pleased to come across one of Melanie’s videos. She is missed so very much 😢. I was happy to see her hubby on the Super Bowl!!!

ty I just ordered new labels I have satin but needed some cotton, full ordering process about 7 minutes to get it done. TY for your video.

I love all your videos but this video I think I have watched so many times 😂 every time I watched my plan was to look into ordering fabric labels. I always end up thinking I can get locally made labels lol. Today is the day I think I'm going to try ordering. Thank you so much I have learned a lot from you. 😍

Wow, a great idea¡ Now I can customize my crochet projects¡ Thank you¡

Thanks I was checking out spoon flower yesterday for a charity to make items for them. I am so excited I happened to click on this.

Thank you so much for your advice, Melanie! I appreciate it so much...God bless.

This was super helpful!

Love this!!! How did I not know about Spoonflower? definitely going to design and print my own labels now. Thanks for sharing.

Oh thank you so much I was about to spend a lot of money ordering online. I'm going to check out spoonflower.

That's really useful! Thx Melanie!

Thank uuuu for information and tutorial Melanie!!!!!! its really helpful!!

This is just such a great video! Thank you for sharing as I was unaware that companies could do that! Is it possible to have them made on a continuous ribbon, to stick out of seams ( like a loop)?

Thankyou for sharing your video ive been wanting to know how to do labels for my stuff :)

Super cute!!! I love the baby lovies lol

thank you so much for sharing this! As a single mom/full time teacher I need as many cost effective ways to help me build by little space on etsy. Thank you again! :)

I would definitely enjoy making my own personal label for my quilts... Great video...

hello :) what size are your labels? (1.61in x 0.8in??) i'm in the process of making my own but i'm a little unsure of what size to get. I made clothes, kimonos, backless halters and such... thank you in advance xxx

Good one Melanie. Thank you!

that would make a great label!

@ Melanie Ham. Good morning. I am in the process of getting my logo Trademark, and needed a Product Specimen. If I made a product label using the same type of fabric and Spoonflower software to put on my shirts, will I be infringing on your style. I didn't want to get into any trouble if I make a label the way that you suggested. Thanks!

I ironed it on my ironing board. If the instructions say a hard surface, like for the t-shirt transfers etc, I have little wood side table and I will put some batting down to protect it and press on that. A pressing board would work too!

Thank you so much. Awesome video.

Thanks, Melanie! This is exactly what I was looking for - much easier than printing to heat-transfer paper and ironing to each and every label!!! Don't know if you answered this below, but which fabric did you order from Spoonflower? They have several options to choose from. At 2:04 in your video you show it. It sort of looks satin-like, but I'm not sure. Which do you think works best? Thanks!

Ha! I was just planning on researching getting labels made for my projects!! Thanks! I'm going to make some that just say "handmade by.." and my name. :)

What kind of fabric do you get? Cotton? Does it have a name? Could you make a video tutorial uploading a design to see the process? Thank You for sharing!

Thank you!

Awesome video!

Hi Melanie I'm trying to get the correct sizing for my labels i'd like them the same size as yours is there a manual function that I'm missing? I only sees the smaller or bigger tab.

I have a spoonflower account but what TYPE of fabric do I choose to use with the fat quarter for the finish you show here?

I would be interested to know what fabric you use at spoonflower, what dpi was used, and what font size your template was.

9/23/21: I spray some Sulky temporary adhesive on an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper and stick it down onto some muslin or cotton material, which I've ironed before the fact. Cut away any excess, choose a font and size on your computer and type your label info. Add a heart, smiley face or whatever logo you want in b/w or color and place the sheet in your printer, material side down, and print it out. You can get quite a few on a sheet and the cost is next to nothing. You can't go wrong and you can get majorly creative with it. Just sharing.

So if you make labels out of paper and cotton, what happens to the paper once it’s washed..?

@conishkee

@@kourtneyalameda7727 When after its printed, you need to peel away the fabric from the paper leaving you with the print on the fabric. The paper is only used as a buffer to get it through the printer.

Very helpful!!!! Thanks!

I went to the website and got started but I'm having trouble deciding what would be a good size? What size image did you select?

Hi Melanie! I'm looking to make some fabric labels for some glass jars. So they need to be self adhesive. Is there any way you can suggest for that please?

Thanks for this Video - such a great tip - i already orderd today and i'm really curious about the result ;)

Has anyone used a double sided fusible so you can just iron on the label to the item? If so, what did you use? Thank you so much for this idea. Spoonflower is really easy to use.

Well there are many different kinds of weights... lightweight to heavyweight and also sew in versus fusible. It really all depends on the project and what type of fabric... maybe I should do a video on it haha, it can be kind of complicated lol ;)

What a great idea. I was wondering what size are your tags I would like to have mine to be the same size on spoonflower

what kind of fabric did you use for your tags from spoon flower? Is it the organic cotton sateen ?

Excellent idea. Thanks for sharing :-)

Hi there! I'm currently on the website and I am having a hard time finding the fabric you picked. Which one is it again? Thanks!

Thank you for your video! How do you create your own design to upload onto Spoonflower?

Melanie, what fabric did you use to print your labels?

would you plz make a video on how you created the label and got it spaced like you did on spoonflower. I'm am so confused. I'm trying to do it but its not coming out looking right.

Great tutorial!!! I'm wanting to know however what type of white fabric in this video you chose to put your logo on from Spoonflower?

Thanks for asking that question and thanks for answering. I've been trying to figure out how to my own logo

hi Melanie, which fabric did you get from Spoonflower (in this video)?

If you sew the label to a clothing item, can you then machine wash it? Will the label hold up?

Hi I've tried to upload my logos, but they are too blur. May I know what resolution and sized you used for your photos?

+Melanie Ham When you first began the process (before you uploaded your file to spoonflower) did you create your labels on an actual Word label program? Then you saved in a format that spoonflower accepts? Thanks in advance - love all your tutorials!

+sadiejosiemom I drew the heart and scanned it into the computer and then put the text on with picmonkey ;).

would it be easier to just order the fabric in cotton versus satin, and eliminate the interfacing?

How did you print your label onto the fabric?

Just curious.... could you not just use the fusible interfacing and then print and skip the freezer paper step. Fusible interfacing makes it stiff with the paper backing on...?

Hi Melanie thanks for the video. Question, after i did the interfacing my tags turn out to be quite thick what machine needle do you recommend using? 14 or 16 ballpoint? Btw i'd be sewing that onto my crochet stuff. let me know thanks.

@MelanieHam

7 жыл бұрын

did you use the same cotton i used? You might need a standard needle and not a ball point so that it will go through the woven, I would say 14, 16 seems a little large.

What type of fabric did you select for your lables?

Brilliant !

Hey how did you make your design repeat itself

Though you technically didn't make the labels, I think it's a brilliant idea. What fabric did you choose from Spoonflower? Was it just the linen-cotton or the petal cotton or something else?

I’m lost on the spoonflower website, what do I look for?

Great video! Thanks :)

Did you iron the interfacing on your cutting mat? where do you iron when instructions say a hard surface? I ironed on my cutting mat once and it got wavy! :-S

So you design it, submit it, and wait for them to send it to you?

Have you attached tags using double cap snap ons? if so, could you please show how to do it? I am stuck. Please & thank you

Which fabric from spoon flower did you use ? You talk about the interfacing brand, but not the fabric selection. Please advise.

Right there with you. I need more instructions on this. I'm wondering if the site has changed since this video.

very nice thanks for the information

Do you have a 'template' for your design, or how big is each label? How many labels can you fit on a fat quarter (160?)?

Thank you! :)

Which exact type of cotton fabric did you use?

Increíble gracias x compartir

hi! what kind of fabric did you use?

Is your pellon fuseable? Didn't know if you ironed it to crisp it flat or if it was to fuse it to the fabric. :) Thank you!! Looooove your videos btw!
