I always wash my quilts beofre I give them, especially since I make many baby quilts & want to be sure all glues, sprays, etc out. And yesterday learned another reason why-I had machine embroided a label for the little girl, with her name, etc. Luckily I added the label after quilt finished & didn't quilt it in as I sometimes do. For the first time ever the thread I used for the wording on the label ran! Couldn't believe it but was glad it dye just stayed on the label & didn't get into the quilt which had white borders. I had to take off label & make new one.
