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,
-Cat

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.
