8 Ways to Label your Quilts – and Why You Should!

You’ve almost finished the quilt you’ve been working on. You may want to consider taking the time to put a quilt label on it before you finish.

Ways to Label Your Quilt

Today, I’m going to show you over 8 ways to label your quilts but first a little bit about why you should!

Just like a painter or a photographer will sign their work, a quilter should absolutely “sign” their work as well. It is a work of art after all!

METHOD 1

Machine embroidery is a great option. Just choose a design and what you want to include on your label and you’ll be done in no time.

METHOD 3

You can actually make hand-written quilt labels. You can write directly onto a piece of fabric (or even the quilt backing) with a fine-tipped permanent marker.

Fabric Pens

METHOD 4
