Labels for your quilts

[Tessa022707]

I would like to add labels to the quilts I am making as gifts for my nieces and nephews but haven't come across a style or idea that grabs me. I don't know how to embroider so that's out....any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Tessa, there are sooo many ways to do this!

Google Making a label for Quilts -- You'll find everything from Bubble Jet solution for fabric - to freezer paper iron on Fabric and feed through your printer.. Or you can order them from SpoonFlower (someone will pop up that uses this during your Google Search), or from HomeSewers

Does you sewing machine make letters? That is another way.

Good luck and I'll see if I can find the other postings about this.

Not exactly free, if you read the comments, Ink jet printer ink will wash out unless the fabric has been treated with Bubble Jet, or if you buy the specialty printer sheets of fabric (these are sold at Fabric stores, but are white only).


Then Pinterest has tons of ideas pinterest.com/cheri_barnett/quilt-labels/

Another tip -- "print out the wording I want, in a font somewhat similar to my handwriting in an appropriate size. I iron a piece of freezer paper onto my label fabric to stabilize it. Layer the printed page with the label fabric and trace over the script with a pigma pen.

This helps keep my spacing lovely, is cheap and allows more ink choices than black. And makes sure I don't misspell or skip a word which I tend to do when it "matters!"
