Quilt Labels
I've only been making quilts a year and a half so I haven't done many, but I
whip stitched them on after the quilt was finished. I have printed labels including photos using the kind of fabric that you can run through your computer. Now that I have my Janome 6500 I have done very simple embroidered labels using the alphabet stitches on my machine. I don't have an embroidery machine or I would use that for labels. I never did label the two I Spy quilts I made for my grandchildren but I still plan on making labels for them. I figure better late than never! Bonnie in Missouri "Jan" wrote in message . 125.201... Those of you who do quilt labels.... do you put it on after the quilting? If so is it just whip stitched on?? Or do you sew it on to the backing before quilting????? Sad to say.... but in 12+ years of quilting... I have never labeled a quilt.... Jan |

Quilt Labels
the label is always the last thing I do, because I find it does not look
neat if you quilt over it... usually you cannot determine, from the front, where the quilting lines will fall and most likely they are going to be random in the label and sometimes make it harder to read. OK, I am anal, the first reason is the real one.
