quilt label problem
 

I was so happy with the label until I washed the quilt and this is what happened. Is it too big or what?
Should I leave it as is? It is just so wrinkled looking. I will gladly take it off and do another; I have made
lots of labels and never has any done this badly. Do you think the font is too dense; such a beautiful
font monogram.

see thread below re: problem

I wonder if the issue is not your label but that your quilt did the shrinking after the wash and this made the label crinkle?? Unless you preWash all the fabrics and batting, quilts will shrink 3-5%.. If this is the case, can you just pick out the stitching that attaches the label, iron the label flat again and hand stitch it back on the quilt?? Beautiful label!!!

Pretty embroidery! When I have a large label, I "quilt" through the inside part to secure it down better. Or I've used a fusible to attach it to the quilt.

Guess I need to start ripping out. Thanks for response.

I agree, the quilt shrunk underneath the label,you're right, it's a beautiful font.

What did you use for embroidery stabilizer? Also, did you prewash the brown fabric you used for the label? I'm thinking that there wasn't heavy enough stabilizer used and/or it looks like the brown fabric shrunk a bit. As suggested, remove it and see if you can press the wrinkles out.
