I too, use machine embroidered labels and put them in the lower right corner.

Me too...that seems the appropriate place to me...hugs SG

i always put my on one of the lower corners on the back of the quilt

I attach mine to the lower right hand side on the back before quilting and quilt right through it. It looks pretty and makes sure the label never comes off.

I write on my tags with pigma pen. I find that you must iron over the writing or it will run. Made a baby quilt, for a nephew in Switzerland. After many washings I asked how the writing held up. Mom said it didn't even fade.

I always put mine on the lower right back.

can you tell me the product you use to pretreat the fabric for the printer...mine keeps washing out and it breaks my heart, after all that work, I heard of Bubble something but don't know where to order it from...thank you

WEDDING QUILTS - I try to use the same font as the wedding invitation to make my label. I print a label using my computer - then I use Pigma pens & my version of a light box to trace it in the CENTER of the backing. I iron over the label to set the ink. .I plan ahead when I make the backing so that I have a light center in the backing.

MY VERSION OF A LIGHT BOX: I have a sewing table with a recessed 'hole' for my sewing machine. The machine support can be dropped out of the way. I put a piece of glass across the top and a lamp on the floor below. Voila, light box. I tape the printed paper label to the glass, so I only have one thing = the backing = to control while I'm tracing the label.

OTHER QUILTS. I use the same light box, but I usually put the label in the bottom RIGHT corner. Of course, it all depends on where the backing is light enough to use the pens - I have to think ahead when I'm planning the backing. Now that I have an embroidery machine, I'm going to try embroidering labels. Pigma pens are faster, though! And I'm usually doing the label at the last minute LOL

I put mine in lower right corner on the back. God bless. Penny

I like to put mine in the lower right hand corner!!!!

I put mine on the lower left. I've tried printing my own on white fabric with permanent markers and I made some on my computer by ironing freezer paper to the fabric so it will go into my printer.

One question: do you always label your quilts? Sometimes, I feel a little silly, like will anyone really care who made it, and would it even last long enough for anyone to see it? I stll do label them, however. (Those "quilt police" may come after me if I don't. lol)

I think you should always label your quilts, down the road your grand---great-grand children will know when you made the quilt/wall hanging and for whom it was made.

I agree, always label the quilt. I adore old quilts and quite often look at a beautiful old quilt and wonder when, where, who made it. Besides, with the introduction of cheaply-made imported quilts, labels may be really important one day.

Appreciate all the feed back.
Thank you so much,
