I read once that if you were giving a quilt to someone in a nursing home you should put the label on before the quilting because others in the nursing home have been known to steel quilts and take the labels off. If it is in with the quilting it can't be taken off without it being noticed. I thought that would be a good idea no matter what.
I make my labels with Tshirt transfer sheets. Once these are ironed on, they can't be removed. They're washable and will last forever
