Full details

The Kylie And The Machine - Brook Gossen Going Places collection is designed for sewing enthusiasts who love to add personalized and joyful touches to their creations, especially for children or those young at heart. The key benefit is the unique, vibrant, and heartfelt designs by artist Brook Gossen, which add immense personality to handmade items. A potential caveat is that the large pack size might be more than what a casual crafter needs, though dedicated label lovers will appreciate the abundance.

How do I attach the fabric labels?

The fabric labels are intended to be sewn onto your projects. They can be topstitched on by hand or machine.

Can the waterproof stickers be put in a dishwasher?

While the stickers are waterproof, handwashing items with the stickers is recommended to ensure their longevity and prevent peeling or damage over time.

Troubleshooting

Fabric label is fraying after washing

Ensure the label was sewn securely with a small seam allowance around the edges. If fraying persists, consider using a zigzag stitch around the label's edge during application for added security.

Sticker is not adhering well

Make sure the surface is completely clean and dry before applying the sticker. Press down firmly for at least 30 seconds. For reusable water bottles, ensure the surface is free of oils or residues.

Colors on the label appear faded

This is unlikely with proper care. Ensure items are not exposed to prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade colors over time. Follow recommended washing instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Fabric Labels:

These fabric labels are designed to be sewn onto handmade items. Ensure you use a needle and thread compatible with your main project fabric. Most standard sewing machines can handle these labels; simply topstitch around the edges, securing them firmly to the garment or accessory. They are compatible with most fabric types, including cotton, linen, and blends typically used for clothing and bags.

Care for Labeled Items:

To maintain the integrity and appearance of the labels, it is recommended to follow standard garment care instructions. Machine wash items on a gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.

Stickers:

Apply stickers to clean, dry, and smooth surfaces for best adhesion. The waterproof stickers can be applied to water bottles, lunchboxes, laptops, and other accessories. While waterproof, handwashing is recommended for items like water bottles that are frequently washed to ensure longevity of the adhesive and print. Avoid abrasive scrubbing over the sticker area.
