I use Printed Treasurers for my labels. I use Lite Steam-a-Seam 2 for raw-edge applique.

Using a strip of the adhesive on the edges wouldn't help. My sewing the label around the edges secures them just fine. Starch is temporary.

By using Lite Steam-a-Seam 2 for the whole label would permanently adhere the entire label to the back. Unless that is done, the middle of the label baloons out. The larger the label, the worse the problem.

I was wondering if I still needed to sew the edges if I used the adhesive on the entire back of the label.

I don't know who else to explain it...
