How to: Transfer text to fabric

Nov 24, 2006 1 Replies

Hello All,



I'm trying to transfer text (1/4 to 1/8" tall letters) to small pre-made draw string bags. Each bag has different text, and so far I have not found an efficient way to transfer the text. I bought a stamp kit, each letter is placed onto a holder then the stamp is dipped into ink and pressed onto the fabric. This works very well, but it is very time consuming! I have tried iron on transfers but they harden the fabric where the transfer is, and the transfer cracks after washing a few times. I have been reading about assorted print to fabric printers, but they all seem to need fabric cut to a sheet of paper size.



I know from reading the archives here you some of you transfer patterns to fabric, So I thought someone may have some ideas I have not thought of yet,



Thanks,

I would probably just use a fine-point Pigma pen and hand-write the text. Pigma pens should be available at any fabric or office supply place; they are permanent and work well on fabric.
