I love these fabric sheets to make cloth labels for my baby/pet products. It's really easy to print using word or the Avery online templates. I have an Epson Stylus NX430 Wireless Inkjet printer and it works great! I let the ink set for a few minutes and iron on to my items, and sew it on for extra security. This is my go-to brand since other brands I've tried did not endure the washes, or the iron-on style did not stick very well. I've washed the dog bandanas for my husky weekly (since she gets it dirty pretty quickly when playing), and the print has lasted through all the washes, even when I use oxiclean. Great product overall, and I've gotten a lot of compliments on them!
The only complaint I have is that there aren't more sheets in a package. I bought this product to make brand labels for custom doll clothes. I haven't had any problems with the ink running, fading or discoloring. The fabric is a bit stiff, but softens after you iron it on. With my iron set on max temp (cotton) I have been able to iron my labels on cotton, satin, faux fur, and crocheted or knit items. If there's any question about using high heat on whatever fabric I'm using, I just use a muslin pressing cloth. If it doesn't seem to adhere, just turn the iron on a higher setting and press the item for a little longer time. This stuff is great! I highly recommend it.
LOVE IT! I printed my business logo by going to the avery website and printed square clothing labels...Its Amazing! I used to pay someone $80.00 to do this! ...no more!Very Happy with this product! .I was NOT paid for this review..I don't even know anyone who would pay me?
Made my daughters birthday shirt with this and it turned out great
I've tried two other brands of printable fabrics in the past and these are by far the best. Well worth the higher price tag. I use the "plain paper" and "high quality" settings on my Canon MP540 printer and the images come out beautifully; very saturated, clear and bright. Because of the glue coating the backside, the fabric doesn't easily fray when cut. I'm specifically using this product to print out images of my scanned artwork to iron onto fabric book covers. I really like that I can iron this on to really dark or heavily patterned fabric and it won't show through. SO NOT TRUE of some other flimsy printable fabrics I've tried! The only drawback (for others, not me) is that this product is fairly stiff, which is wonderful for a book cover (or the front of an apron, one of the other ways I tried this), but may not be suitable for items you'd like to be more flexible and soft. Having said that, it may soften up when washed. Bottom line: best image reproduction I've experienced for a product of this type.

I printed out a quilt label using Avery printable fabric, after doing so, I then ironed it on to the back of the quilt, I also hand sewn it to the back of the quilt. It turned out perfect. On another quilt that was waiting for a label, again I used my printer to print on to the Avery Printable Fabric. This time I didn't blind stitch it - I just ironed it on to the back of the quilt. It adhered to the quilt nicely and I don't think it will peel off anytime soon. Both ways of labeling worked nicely. This is the first time I used Avery printable fabric however, it won't be the last. I was very happy with this product.
Ordered this iron-on fabric to make labels for the back sides of my wool applique work. Had some reservations as to whether it would stick to wool felt and wool fabric, but for lack of a better option when it came to labeling the work I went ahead and ordered. The 'fabric' arrived quickly and in typical Avery fashion was of high quality. Logged into the Avery website and used their formats and printed my logo and info on one sheet, printing it out in a business card format, making ten labels per page. The fabric printed clear and clean - impressive. The next step was the iron-on aspect - not disappointed there either. The label ironed on to the back of the wool felt without any issues using a hot iron. The label remained adhered to the wool felt and appears that it would be next to impossible to remove - just want I wanted. Next I ironed one on to the back of a piece of felted wool and again the label stuck without issue and appears to be stuck for the duration - again perfect! I did use a hot iron but covered the label with a scrap piece of cotton fabric then ironed it to the wool felt so as to avoid leaving any iron marks on the back of the wool felt. The fabric is somewhere in the medium weight range, but still flexible. I cannot say I would use it on a cotton tee shirt as it might be too heavy for that, but for quilt label making it is outstanding. Overall this iron-on fabric performed just as I needed it to go and I will certainly order again without hesitation.
First off these are really expensive but every brand on Amazon and off seems to have them for the same high prices.
I can't type about the strength of the adhesive because I don't have an iron and didn't need these for that purpose. Printable sew-on fabrics without adhesive don't seem to exist. Anyways, I did ahere a 1" wide circle to my fabric with a hot glue gun. It worked.
The review, I have a cheap $30 printer and the colors came out bold. That's a great thing. That being sad the adhesive makes the fabric really still so if you are sewing it together I had a hard time flipping in outside in and I didn't let the ink dry for more than 10 minutes before I started sewing so it smudged some.
I wet my finger and smudged the small label too that was printed days ago
Will ironing soften the material? Maybe.Is heat-seating the ink necessary? Maybe.
Either way, it's great for home printing but not for the purpose need them for.
It doesn't fray.
These work amazingly well! I bought them to use for making mouse pads after watching the YouTuber SeaLemon's tutorial! My husband and I now both use a mousepad printed on these sheets. After over a month of use they have not faded, they don't hold onto dirt like most mousepad material does either! Most importantly (and perhaps the thing I was most concerned about) after daily use for over a month we have never once had ink smear onto our hands, or our long sleeved sweaters or anything like that. And after spilling water onto it the ink on mine did not run at all! I think ironing it on must do something to seal the ink, because usually the ink from my printer runs if it gets wet.
They're not just for mousepads, obviously, but I have yet to use them for anything else.
This stuff is AMAZING! Easy to print on, cut and iron. It adheres to almost anything too. Doesn't leak through and stick to a second layer of socks. I was surprised on the sharpness of the photos when they were printed on the fabric, and the stretch of the fabric... wasn't stiff and starchy at all. The only con is the white/light colors turned a little darker after they were ironed, but it wasn't a huge difference where anyone would notice if they didn't see it before.
