All you need for quilt labels is a good editing, a digitizing programs is if you want to create your own designs emblibrary sells lots of label patterns you can get them cheap when they do their 15 for 15 design deals and just use the lettering in your program to add letters to the label. A cheaper one is embrilliance essentials, the reason why I recommend this program is it is similar to embroidery works which is the one I have and it is super easy to use. embroidery works everyday will run you about 400 and has more features like hoop splitting and such. I have the advanced which cost me 800 and it has all the editing features you will ever need without digitizing. I would demo a few softwares(most have 30 day trials) to decide which you like, my pe design plus(purchased without demo) was not what I imagined it to be and probably will not use it until I upgrade it to digitizing software. Embird is popular and reasonable but I also did not care for that, not the easiest to use. There are quite a few free ones that will do basics. Embrilliance runs about 140 through nancys notions online. Also I think now on their website they now have add ons for it so it can do more now like font packs, and splitting designs. If you want to add as you go for what you need and you want something very user friendly this might be better than embird which is similar in that you can add more as you go. Embird however is not user friendly you will probably have to find a group to figure out the program in more detail. If you can afford it embroidery works is really amazing. It is pricey, but I love how easy it is to use and how much editing features you get for the price
