I agree that a professionally-embroidered label makes the quilt appear more professional, but I also think that we all have to look at the professional vs. economical impacts -- I cannot afford to purchase an embroidery machine, period. With the quilts I've got on my plate right now, neither can I afford to have labels made. So, regardless of those issues, I do think it's important that we label our quilts. I do the best that I can, but I don't make quilts for a living; in other words, I'm not paid -- my quilts are made with love, and I would guess that most of us make our quilts with love. Please know -- I'm not criticizing anyone -- I'm just stating my circumstances. If I have time to embroider the backing, I'll do that, but time is frequently a limiting factor as well.
