    How do YOU attach your quilt label?

    I know I'm going to get a number of different ways and that's what I'm looking for.

    Pictures please... Thanks

    an easy label with only one side to sew by hand is to take a square and fold it in half to make a triangle. Stitch the triangle into the corner of the quilt and then you only have to hand stitch the folded side...no photo, sorry

    I use a narrow width zigzag stitch, with a short stitch length, so it "almost" looks like "satin" stitch, but not quite as tight as a buttonhole. Does that make sense? ;-)

    Do you stitch the label on after it is quilted or before.

    I attach my labels to the backing using a blanket stitch before I start quilting, then I quilt through it.

    I stitch it on before its sandwiched or quilted. :D

    I forgot all about the label... the quilt is done, binding and all.

    This quilt has been a learning experience... next time it's going on first.

    This would work if you are machine quilting but it would be a real pain if you are hand quilting like I do.

    I put my hand written label on with a blanket stitch in contrasting pearl embroidery thread after the quilt was finished.
