These are all wonderfully attractive! Generally, I use my machine to straight-line embroider pieced and quilted by (my name) for _name_, county and state name, and year. I do not utilize patterns so that is not necessary. Then this long embroidered strip is sewn onto the backing at edge before I hand stitch the binding down. If the quilt has taken me some 50-60 hours to complete, (I have had four like that recently) then I apply the label before any quilting is done. Therefore, the quilt never get altered by some unworthy person or lost at a fair.
