I have only done one label so far, have only done two quilts! But I took a piece of matching fabric, and hand wrote my message in Pigma pen. Used a dry iron on it to set the ink. Then I pressed the edges to fold them under, used Wundaweb (fusible webbing) to stick it to the quilt, then hand blind stitched it make it doubly secure. Washed it the next day and it was fine.
