I get so many of those preprinted address labels sent to me and now I use them when I need to label or number fabric pieces. They stick on the fabric nicely and never leave a mark. (Really useful when doing a Pam Bono design LOL)

Good idea! and I love your avatar!

Thanks for the tip!! Never thought of that and I have hundreds of them in my desk.

Thanks, it was so easy to make

Great tip, thank you :D:D:D

Thanks for sharing that tip,never thought about how to use all of the lables up.. pab

thanks

Take them with you when you go to quilt shows. Use them on all those door prize slips!

Thanks for the tip - have tons of those labels!

Good idea, I will do that

Now this is a wonderful idea!!!

thanks for the idea. i just got some free address stickers and happen to be going to my first big quilt show this friday.
i never check in here without getting some very good tips.

Would love to get a hold of the pattern in you avatar. Where did you get it?

Me too. I love it!!

I also use pre printed address labels when I go on Shop Hops for all the door prizes.

I like to carry them with me in case I have to fill out info on raffle tickets, door prizes etc, I use them to mark my patterns and quilt books too in case I borrow them out or take them when I teach classes.

I would also like to know the name of the pattern for you avatar...it is interesting....

Great tip, thanks!

It's in the fons and porter book called 'the complete quilters guide', fabulous book I got from the library and then bought a used copy on Amazon for $8.00. If you want to send me a see, I will copy it and mail you the pattern

do you have a pattern for that avatar

Both are great tips..thank you feffertim and Scissor Queen
sass

great :thumbup: :P

I use the cheapie blank stickers that are about 500 in a pack from WalMart for about $3. I think they are meant for use as garage sale price stickers????? Anyway, I have them in several different colors, shapes and sizes and use them all the time for keeping pieces, blocks and rows organized as I go. Saves a lot of time being sure something is in the right place before sewing....and knowing me, it also saves a lot of time ripping stuff apart that was put together wrong!

I use my address labels on all of my quilting tools so that when they are shared at a retreat or workshop they can also come back to me (by return address).

[quote=MommaDorian]Me too. I love it!![/quote

Me Three.....It's a great piece......Please put the pattern source....:)

Good idea--thanks!

Great idea, thanks, I have lots of those as well

another good idea, thanks for sharing

I, too, am going to a quilt show in Modesto this weekend.....My labels are in my purse.....Thanks!

everyone is asking about my Avatar. It's in the fons and Porter book, 'the complete quilters guide. It's actually very easy to do

What a wonderful tip! I have a top of them too. thanks!

THOSE ADDRESS LABEL TIPS ARE GOOD ONES. I HAVE SO MANY I THREW OUT A FEW LAST WEEK THAT WERE SMALLER PRINT. SO, WOULD APPRECIATE SOME MORE IDEAS FOR THEM. I AM JUST FINISHING ASSEMBLING BLOCKS FOR A QUILT. WISH I KNEW OF IT SOONER--THANKS

I use them to formy quilt magazines if I loan one to someone. Just make sure my name is on it and I get it back.
But hadn't thought of taking to quilt show will do that have one coming up in feb and mar.

Oh! You get to go to the quilte show in OKC. I can't make it, so you will have to really enjoy it twice as much for those of us that can't. LOL Have a great time!!!

I have taken those address stickers and ran over the address with white-out tape and then use them for whatever.

Me too! They're great for putting inside your books for a nameplate also.

Is there a way to print off this tutorial without all the extra info down the side? I'm still not as comfortable on the computer as with my sewing machine!

I finally started throwing them away last year, since I knew I couldn't live long enough to use all of them! lol Thanks for the tip--now I have a reason to save them again.

Yes, highlight the part you want and go to the top left corner under file and click print. A box will come up where you will be able to select the word "selection". Do that and then click ok.
