You now have a label with all raw edges contained and you can iron/fuse the label onto your quilt because now the fusible side has been turned to the outside back. I then hand stitch around the edge to secure but no pins are needed in the process since it is fused in place.
This is basically my method but I have a question. Do you sew your label on before or after you wash the finished quilt? I have been sewing on the label before I wash because I want the label washed also. Now I am wondering if I should wait to sew it on. I have been noticing that my labels are not shrinking the way the quilt is. Looks loose on the quilt.
