Agree, post-its can be dangerous for not staying stuck in place!
Green painter's tape is a good alternative.
Stays put and does not leave any residue behind on the fabric.
If a bunch of the same shape/size, I would hold them together with a long straight pin and just the top one labelled.
Another hint ... when fabric comes into my home, it is washed first before going to the sewing room. If going into the stash, I put the measurement (after wash/shrink) on the yardage with the green tape.
