It is still a LONG way off, but I have been thinking about the label for "Danbury". I am taking my time with the sewing. "Setting" the seams with the iron, watching the 1/4 inch very carefully when I sew the HST's...things like that. Now I am thinking I could do a little better than the below for my label.
Really, I write uphill, and my handwriting would take no prizes either. Maybe I should print one from the computer?? This project will be taking me a long time and I want to do it justice.

What you can do, if you don't have or want to machine embroidery one, is to print one out on your computer using the fabric sheets. I still do this sometimes and you can really put a lot on them; import pictures; do different colors; etc.

I don't care for my own handwriting, so I will be doing mine on the computer. One think I can suggest for handwriting them is to draw some straight lines with a sharpie on a piece of cardboard and put it behind your fabric. You should be able to see the lines through it and keep your text straighter. My mom did that with plain pads of paper when I was a girl.
Are you still in Attleboro? I was born there and lived on Commonwealth Ave. until I was a teen!

Thanks, FF. That was the push I needed. I love the fabric that I use for labels, plus I am not sure it would go through Jim' printer. Katier gave me a hint to help my printing. I have seen so many lovely labels here, I was beginning to think mine were kind of yucky.
