Label for your quilt

[Margo C.]

I think it's a good idea to try to put some washing instructions on too (google "care label symbols" to download the icons), and possibly even the fabric content, eg 100% cotton fabric, polyester batting.

Don't know if this is the right thread to ask this, but how do you label your table runners? I like to make them as gifts for friends and family and I usually try to make them reversible, seasonal (like Christmas) on one side and everyday on the other. But I usually don't put a label since it will be seen on one side or the other. How do the rest of you label those items? Or do you label them?

[Judith R.]

If I do it double sided; I just skip the label. Maybe you could add a little card with the gift.

Never agree to be anonymous. You can discreetly sign your work with pen (sakura and the like) and the year.

Somewhere I read that if the freezer paper/fabric is jamming, wrap the leading edge with masking tape. This works nicely for my Epson printer.

Additionally, if the label is composed in Corel Draw, the backgrounds can be used to make our own fabric.

Thank you, Margo, for a great tutorial!

It has also been suggested that the fabric and the freezer paper can be machine basted at the leading edge! (My apologies to the member who suggested that...please remind me who posted it!)
