How to Use Your Quilt Labels
We have designed the labels to be as simple as possible.
First, identify which type of label you have. We currently have two designs.
- A 4"x6" rectangle designed to be sewn on to your finished quilt.
- A 6" square designed to be sewn to your quilt when adding the binding.
Instructions for the Rectangle
- Use a permanent fabric pen (see this blog post for our recommendation) to write on your label.
- Allow your iron to heat to the high/cotton temperature.
- Turn under a 1/4-1/2 inch of fabric around the label and iron to create a crisp hem.
- Place your label on the fabric and use a pin or two to hold it in place.
- Use a needle and thread to sew a whip stitch or running stitch around the label.
- Your label is attached!
Instructions for the Square
- Use a permanent fabric pen (see this blog post for our recommendation) to write on your label.
- Fold the square into a triangle and press.
- Pin the triangle into the bottom left or right corner of your quilt. Line up the edges of the quilt with the edges of the label.
- As you attach your binding, check to make sure you are catching the quilt label.
- There is no need to sew down the long edge of the triangle once you finish your binding.
- Your label is attached!
