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 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 have done both, but after I got an embroidery machine I use it only. I like that better, but my labels are at the smallest 4x6. They will last longer than the computer printed ones. I could also use my Janome 6600 fonts but I've never been that pleased with them. All personal preferences.

Well just like someone just lost a box of quilts in Montana. Found alongside the road
|
How many labels do you make for a year? Would it be more practical to find someone with an embroidery machine and hire out?

i wondered the same question. I would never share personal info like that on a quilt label...if it's in hope of getting orders, I would attach a stringed tag or include my card.
For quilts that get get shipped to galleries and shows--- started doing that after some items were lost in shipping |

If I'm making a wall hanging I print the label, probably not too much washing, but a larger quilt that I expect to be washed I use my embroidery machine. I know it will hold up better

I use the Bubble Jet method or the fonts on my machine unless it's for a special quilt then I get our member sewnsewer2 to make them for me. She does an amazing label!

I have a Janome 350E embroidery machine, but the built-in lettering is bigger than I want for a quilt label. I use my Digitizer software to create the label, so I can make it any size I want. (Of course, the software was pricey.) It would probably be cheaper, in the long run, to have someone make the label for you.
