I think I posted this to the wrong person's quote before - let's try it again....
what size are the labels you make? I just got the little Brother SE-400 so it only uses a 4" x 4" hoop. I want to make a label for the quilt I am making, but can't seem to fit the name(s) on one line. I have someone who will make an embroidered label but the size options are 6.20" or 4.57"... I have been printing the label on the comp, (iron on transfer) transferring onto fabric - but after several washes, this printing comes off. I want to use my signature "heart" as the label, but not sure this is going to be possible if the printing is that big. Don't want to make the label HUGE!

my bother machine has a button that when i push it it will go to the four coners of the design so i can see where it will stitch out to. maybe yours does this?

yes, mine does do this and I use it often, but will have to play around and rotate, resize, etc.... want to do this label myself, but may have to end up buying it if I run out of time. It's going on a commissioned quilt so want it to look good. I do have someone who will make it for me at a last option.
