Can you sew these on? On my mothers more delicate fabrics likes blouses I'm afraid the hot iron will scorch the fabric. Sew on? Or any suggestions will be appreciated????

I have never sewn on the label, i have only iron them on, however, the needle can go through the label so i'm guessing you should be able to sew them on. What i have done is to use a piece of fabric (eg a white cotton pillow case) over the the label to reduce scorching and that has certainly work.

The labels I got work beautifully. I did have to hold the iron on a little longer than the directions. They might be a little to stiff when sewn on. The heat seems to soften and make the print a little darker. I would iron them onto a soft cloth, then sew them in.

I've never tried sewing them on. However, they are made of fabric, so I suppose you could. Good luck:)

Well, I guess you could but the material they are printed on is stiff (similar to a piece of thick construction paper but with a grain to it)and once you've cut them (the names come printed on one sheet and you have to cut them up - it's easy) the corners would be sharp resulting in a scratchy area on the clothing. They are really easy to iron on (good adhesive), so I would think that you wouldn't have to apply too much heat for too long of a time. Hope this helps, good luck!

I tried this labels and they do not do what they promise. They do not stay on. I used laundry Sharpie marker which worked wonderfully.

I ironed them in everything even delicates I just used another piece of cloth between the iron and what I was putting them on so the hot iron wouldn't actually touch the delicate fabric.

What I did with most delicate fabrics: low heat iron onto the label of the garment rather than risk scorching the garment's fabric. I did sew on a few labels to normal, but dark, cottons that a Sharpie wouldn't show on, and onto the hems of a couple of very light fabrics with a sewing machine using very light thread tension--sewing on by hand seemed too time consuming, but it might not have been. Bottom line: ironing on was faster, simpler, and has lasted now through a number of washings. Good luck with whatever method you choose.

Ironing? I don't think so, I think it's just made to protect your surfaces from the heat of your hot tools. But I guess you could iron on it if it can withstand that much heat. I have never tried it, but it's a small surface in my opinion for ironing though. And I'm not sure if it's non-stick in case of if your clothes would stick to it' if you iron on it. It tends to collect dust' but it wipes clean with a damp cloth. It's amazing to use with your hot tools, and It's great quality for the price.

No, I sewed some on. There is a way to put them on without sewing, but I could never figure it out. Cabelas tried to explain it to me and you might find some help there. I used monofilament line and it works fine.

I washed them and then used fabric spray colors and fabric pens and the colors stayed fine. The problem was the fabric does not come out very nice. It came out wrinkled and had to be ironed. I had my Sunday school kids decorate them for an end of the year fun project. They were ok for that.

If you could re-sew the seem you created I'm sure you could but it's definitely not designed for that. The fabric is thick but it's a fairly large weave and would fray if cut (and not re-sewn).

I usually embroider on them, but I did actually do fabric painting on one to see how it worked, and it seemed to work pretty well. I always wash and iron them first before doing anything with them.

I just received mine, and though that's not what I bought this set for, I tested with the iron and it definitely took it off my ironing board fabric. It is true, though, that the manufacturer doesn't suggest using them for fabric. I do all the time but it isn't intended for that so there are some fabrics that it won't come off of.

Hi Barbara, Amazon is asking me to respond since I bought the set. I bought this set for my daughter and she loves them, however the sewing around the elastic on the fitted is poor. They had to be re-sewn, she has a deep pocket quilted top. I hope this helps.

Never try it on fabrics, imagine using hot burnt metal to cut fabrics. However, i guess it can do the trick, try it and let me know.

I ordered these for my mother who is caregiver to my father with Alzheimer's. I think you could cut these in half but you would want to finish the edges on a sewing machine...zigzag or serge so they won't separate when washed.

I am a quilter but I also iron all of my blouses for work. Have had many Rowenta's and have had issues with the steam spraying. The Relialble is, by far, the best iron I've ever had. Well worth the money.

I love my Janome . I mainly use it for quilting, but also do a lot of alterations for friends and family. Working with thick fabric and seams on blue jeans is the worst, but my janome goes over those seams, well, seamlessly! Haha. Seriously, my Janome has an even feed system that works like a charm on thick fabrics. Hope this info helps. CB

You actually can sew it....I did when I had to join two sections together.Be sure to use heavy duty needles if you sew it yourself.

I haven't washed mine yet, but I would probably throw them in on a very delicate load. The fabric would hold up. My only concern would be the seems.

Ps) I just saw the exact same ones at Joann fabric. They aren't as cheap but maybe you could go take a look at them!
