I have found the quaity of the small print too rough for labels. I use an embroidery machine for mine.

The print is not small enough to make a decent size label. It's better to just go for the printed ones. You can get up to 4 rows printed on white tape here for a fair price. Don't know what your sources are there.

I've tended to avoid the printed ones. Just about every garment I buy ready-made has a printed care label and they a) look cheap and b) itch like crazy! So I'm forever cutting them out.

This is the link to the company I'm using just now. The labels do look nice, but it's so expensive. The 100% Wool ones I had made WILL get used, and other projects I'll just have to add £9 for labels to the expense - hopefully someday make the client pay ;-)

If a super expensive embroidery machine can't make me labels then I can be happy about not having one!

On the other hand, if anyone wants to have a go - I'd be happy to pay expenses for the experiment.... A source for 1 or 2 custom labels would be SO Excellent :-)

Thanks guys,
AJ
