I'm a newbie to this board, and I'm working on some homemade Christmas gifts for my family this year. I bought the Avery fabric transfer paper to make labels that say, "Made with love by..." They came out beautiful, so I'm very happy with them. However, some of the gifts are made out of cuddle fabric, and you can't use an iron on it. So, I was thinking that I would sew them in. Does anyone know if I can just sew them in or if I have to somehow remove the paper backing from the iron on. This may sound like a dumb question, but I'm not sure how to do it. Any help or ideas is greatly appreciated! Thanks! Michelle

I will absolutely do that! I have an entire sheet of "Made with love by..." labels I can just iron on to a piece of soft fabric and then sew in. Why didn't I think of that!?! THANK YOU!!!!

And I'm not crazy about sew-ins, but ribbon sounds better, too. Thanks , all. -- Edited on 12/4/12 7:23 AM --

I mirrored the label and then ironed them to a natural colored twill tape. They turned out great. You can find tutorials on Pinterest.

Most items won't last forever, but if special or I think it may be passed down then I also add my made-by label. ------ re-living my youth through sewing...
