Looking for quilt care labels?
I am making quilts for several family members this year. I usually sew a label on the back with care instructions as a part of the quilt. I cannot find any sources that have them. I have previously used care labels by Fons and Porter. Any ideas? JoAnns used to carry them, but no longer. I've tried doing a Google Search, but cannot find what I have in mind. Any ideas? Any quilt shops I could try? Thanks
I don't have the materials/means to print off labels on my own.
I was hoping to find another source for those care labels. I may just run off instructions and include them with the gift. Thanks for your suggestions.

Apparently, they have been discontinued. You could make your own using your printer and Fons and Porter's printable labels. http://www.fonsandporter.com/content_downloads/fp1...
You could switch to another brand. http://www.gorgesquiltlabels.com/
You could get in touch with Fons and Porter and inquire when the labels will be available and why they discontinued such a great product! http://www.shopfonsandporter.com/contact_us

permanent inks for your printer and that printer prepped fabric. type up your own care labels, send it to the printer then cut the fabric and stitch it on the quilt as you did for the other labels.
I have made a lot of "this quilt made by ___ ______ in _________ for ___ ________!" or for group quilting labels with everyone's names on them. The history of the quilt may someday be needed?
get the printer fabric at any office supply, any quilt stores, etc.
