I have bought frames from embroidery library, and used the frames already on my embroidery machine, and I have a couple of miniature alphabets that I purchased for the lettering, but I've also used the small alphabets on my embroidery machine and even sized them a little smaller, and I create my own labels, use steam-a-seam to put them on my quilt, sew around the edges on my machine to make them doubly secure, and then put my quilt together. All together it probably has cost me, for the frames and the miniature alphabets, $50. Here's a sample.
