I would think that the starch may get in the way of the ink contacting
the fabric. When my work shirts are nicely starched they don't absorb
stains as easily.

Not sure if I am right. This is just me thinking out loud

I'm not able to write very well on the fabric. What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried heavily starching the label before you write? I'm not sure it
would work but it would seem to improve the surface for writing. Just a
thought.
