  Step 1 of 7

  Using your computer upload a page full of your logo in reverse. Make sure they are the correct size to fit onto your twill tape.

• 

  Step 2 of 7

  Print out your sheet of labels onto t-shirt transfer paper. Set your printer to a fine print for this to get a good finish.

  Step 3 of 7

  Cut out your labels to fit your twill tape.

  Step 4 of 7

  Cut a length of twill tape wider than your label, you are going to turn under the ends later. Lay your label down onto the twill tape and press with a dry hot iron (not too hot though).

  Step 5 of 7

  Let it cool slightly and slowly peel off the paper.

  Step 6 of 7

  This is what your label should look like....with your own logo of course! :)

• 

  Step 7 of 7

  Fold under the ends and sew in place.
  I find that the label can stick to the foot of the machine so to combat this i place a scrap of pattern paper over the top and sew through that and the label at the same time. I then just peel the paper away.

  I hope this is useful to you. Maybe instead of twill tape you could try something thinner for those more delicate garments, ribbon perhaps? I know i'll be doing some more experimenting :) Happy label making!
