Quilt labels before or after washing quilt?
Hi,
Quick question for you all. Do you add your quilt label (after binding, of course) before you throw it in the washer or after it's all washed and crinkled? I can't seem to find any answer via Google. Thanks! I just plan on making a pieced fabric label and use a fabric marker.

This is how I plan to do mine. It would be sewn on under the binding so obviously done before washing. I would think adding a label to crinkled fabric after washing would be more challenging

At the current stage, attach the label before blocking. If you can copy the quilting stitches, quilt over the label.
Attached is my quilt label. Fusible web is attached to the fabric. My name is written in bubble letters and cut out. It's fused to the backing and outline stitched, several times. Then the quilt is sandwiched and quilted. Blocked, then bound. Then any details are written on the label: last name, size, address, name of quilt, date finished. [ATTACH=CONFIG]412582[/ATTACH]
