I don't use labels. Instead I cursive quilt in the last few rows of a quilt what I would've had on a label.

I used to make all my labels with Bubble Jet Set. But I've found that, over time, the print washes away. So I'd suggest passing on Bubble Jet Set.

I bought an embroidery machine for just this purpose, a Janome 500. With this machine not only do I do labels, but I've used it to quilt a full and queen size quilt. I had to find more use for such an investment. Now, if I could figure a way to sew the label ON with the machine....I can't hand sew worth a darn and I know the label will come off after a few washings. Right now I sew it on a corner, anchored in the sewing of the binding but I don't like leaving the one edge unsewn.....it's a real ""toe catcher"!

Old School here.... I write mine with a super-fine fabric marker.

I bought a stamp pad and a stamp ( surrounded with lovely flowers). I just keep tracing copies of it with my micron pens and reusing the stamp. It's about 5 x 6" so I have lots of room to add info.

I use my embroidery machine and have had excellent success with labels that are 4 x 4.

The embroidered labels are very pretty, but I have always hand written mine, even if my handwriting is crummy. :-)

Mine are large compared to most, but I like to put lots of information.

I don't understand why you would want your name, address, phone number and e-mail address on on quilt label if you hare giving the quilt as a present. Did I miss something??

I do mine with my embroidery machine, and though they are no more than a 1/4" high, they still would take up more room than a hand written one.

I hand write or print mine as well, to me they feel like a personalized touch as I also like to doodle so will add something along with the pertinent info (name of quilt, year, place, my name and if it's special I may say to whom, but sometimes I use that as my quilt name...ex for my baby girl niece I called the quilt Welcoming Leah Rose)milked a flower or a raven or just a squiggle. In the future who knows, someone may look and say look at crazy great aunt vivian's handwriting! Could happen.
