    Do you add a label on every quilt you make?

    Do you attach it BEFORE quilting or After?

    What form of label do you use? - on the roll, customized, embroidery the name or write it?

    I attach mine first then do the quilting right through it. Then it can't fall off. I heard this tip on Simply Quilts I think.
    I usually just iron freezer paper to the wrong side of white muslin, put a piece of lined notebook paper behind that, hold everything up to the window so I can see the lines, and, using a permanent type pen, write my info. But I've also used the fabric kind that come on a roll.

    if i could remember to put it on before quilting, i would! most times i remember to add one.
    i have added it to the corner,sewn on with the binding on two sides..the other sides i use a fabric glue or or the iron on stuff for the rest of it.

    that is, IF i remember.

    I add on almost all, I just made a quilt for a friend to give to someone else. I didn't put a label on that one. I make my own labels I will make up a small label to match the front.

    I add a label after the whole quilt is done. Sometimes I put one away without a certain person in mind.

    The Amish is our area simply write on the back of the quilt. Initials and the date.

    I label every quilt. I use ink jet fabric & do several labels per sheet then cut apart & border w/some fabric from the quilt & attach by hand after quilting.

    I just found that June Tailor's website has quilt labels you can print onto fabric and use. I think they're free too!
    There could be other sites too.
    When I'm ready to label this king size quilt I've been working on (if I live that long...lol) I'm going to try one of these.

    I put labels on my larger quilts, the art quilts I sign and date on the front. I need to start putting labels on those, too.

    I always add a label. I design my own on the computer.
