Here is how I put names on quilts!

Scroll down a few pictures you can't miss them.
What I do is print the name (in reverse) on the computer, and then trace it onto wonder-under then iron the wonder under onto the fabric I want to use for the name. Cut the letter out, and iron them onto the quilt whereever I want them. Then I simply stitch around the letters and contenue on with the quilt. once everything is done I right over it which holds it down even more than just stitching around it! Works great and I have not had a problem with the names coming off!
