HP label program
Does any one here use the label program for printing labels on fabric? I've
just spent the entire morning trying to use it for one label. I think it would have been a lot faster to use Corel print shop or one of my other photo programs. I'm not sure what the advantage of the HP program is. Templates? The field for typing text is so small you can't read what you typed unless you change the font size back and forth from what fits on the label to what you can read on the screen. I discovered that after printing a label and finding a misspelling! I had printed out the first draft on a piece of paper, then didn't print out my changes, so I guess the mistake is mine. Grrrr. Good thing it's not an expensive program. Hummm maybe that's why it doesn't seem to work as well. -- Kathyl remove "nospam-" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz |

I use it all the time. The problem that I had is that I didn't read all the
info in the Help section. I breeze right though it now. I do most of the labels for our quilt guildthat we use for our mini quilts and charity projects. I really like it. I got the HP label program because I never could figure out the Corel program. I make cards all the time, and I just thought theirs was difficult. I probably just didn't read all the Help info on that either. JMHO ...... Sherry Starr "KJ" wrote in message news:HX4Qd.68496$eT5.2029@attbi_s51...

I've been curious about that software, but decided it was just another
gizmo targeted at a huge and enthusiastic market (us! quilters!) As much as I hate Microsoft, I use Publisher for just about everything, including quilt labels. Works great. Thanks for letting me know I didn't miss anything by not buying the HP program. Can you return it to the store where you bought it, and tell 'em it just doesn't work as advertised? No point in wasting money on bad software, when it can go to fabric ... Karen Johnson http://www.dabukar.com |

Although other people here like that program, I find it very hard to use.
Choosing a background design alone drives me nuts! Selecting and deleting, over and over again.... Anyway, I don't like it, and I'm glad I didn't pay much for it. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "KJ" wrote in message news:HX4Qd.68496$eT5.2029@attbi_s51...

I agree that you can probably do anything this program does in one of several other different programs, but it does have lots of stuff right there in one convenient location. I've never had a problem with the size of boxes, since I just resize them to suit myself. g -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 AKA Dame Sandy, Minister of Education |

I'm embarrassed to say that I use a Disney Pooh program to make most of my
labels, using the greeting card format. But I've used a card-making-type program, too, I think it's called Print Shop. That works at least as well. I make the label on the card type that you would have if you fold a regular sheet of paper into 4, design just the front of the card as my label, and print it out. -- Carolyn in The Old Pueblo If it ain't broke, you aren't trying. --Red Green If it ain't broke, it ain't mine. --Carolyn McCarty If at first you don't succeed, switch to power tools --Red Green If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer. --Carolyn McCarty "KJ" wrote in message news:HX4Qd.68496$eT5.2029@attbi_s51...

I just upgraded my Quilt Pro to version 5. It has label making
capability. I haven't tried it, but it sounds interesting. Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/ |

I usually us MS Word for my labels. It's easy to import pictures, add text
and manipulate it to look the way I want it. -- Debi Ever stop to think, and forget to start again? "KJ" wrote in message news:HX4Qd.68496$eT5.2029@attbi_s51...

I got it for Christmas, but haven't actually done anything with it yet.
