:?: I have read several quilting guides and they say at the end to sign your quilt. Do I use a fabric pen? Fine Tip Sharpie? I'm :? If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Kellie,
I embroider a label for my quilts and then applique the label to the back of the quilt.

The running theme on this site is "In quilting there are no rules." So feel free to do whatever you want and are comfortable doing.

Thank you for your help, I appreciate it :D

I have a lot of perm pens that I use for my other crafts I appreciate(sp) the help. All this stuff is a little overwhelming but once you get the hang of it hopefully it will become easier.

I use a disappearing ink marker and sign my name and year of quilting on the back of the quilt. I then do chain stitch embroiery and go over the markings.

I always use a backstitch straight stitch in the botton left corner, with my initials usually, unless it's a family member. And the year. Try to get a close up of this one. This is how I signed the quilt for my daughter. The quilt is made from scraps from dresses when she was a little girl. Hope it shows up for you. Sara

I usually use the "made especially for you" type that I can get at the quilt store. I just write the name of my quilt, who it's for, anything special about the reason for giving the quilt, like for a wedding, my name, the date, and where I live and applique it on the back. If I don't have a pre-made one, I write all that on a solid fabric and applique that instead. There's no wrong or right way to do it, except to make sure that whatever writing implement you use is permanent. I also press with a hot iron to be sure the ink is set.

That's really pretty saravincent!

sara your quilt is very beautiful. you have a very lucky daughter.
