How do you sew on your quilt label? Do you machine stitch it on or hand stitch it on ? Do you sew it on the back before or after you FMQ?

Thank you, Marilee

I add my label by hand after the quilt is quilted & bound. Just my personal preference. My quilts are all for loved ones and not for show.

I put my label on after quilting but before I bind. That way 2 of the edges are secured by the binding and then I hand stitch the other 2 sides.

I embroider mine on the backing before sandwiching and quilting

I like making mine part of the backing. I got the idea from here

for wall quilts/hangings I fuse the label on after binding and everything is done. For larger ones, I agree with those who stitch it into the binding. I've started using a triangle instead of a square - cut a large square, fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle, and stitch it into the binding with raw edges matching. That leaves only one side - the folded side - to stitch by hand.

I put it on after I FMQ.

If it is a bed quilt, I machine sew it with a thread that I hope will 'hide' on the front.
For show quilts, I machine sew it into the border, and then hand sew it to the inside of the quilt (my hand sewing sucks, so I try to minimize that part...)
