    Default Sewing labels

    Within the past week I received an email that had sewing labels on sale. They were the small one that had made by and your name, and a few others, but now I can't find it. Where do you get your labels from? Thanks

    Thanks, that was the one I saw.
    Anyone know of any less expensive labels?

    Why not make your own? They're not that hard. Of course it depends on what you want to say on it but I've put my own on. I just hand embroider/stitch the letters and you can sew script. Many use permanent markers and you could use a marking pen for your label design.

    My late friend had some made up for me, she preferred those over the ones I made for quilts I gave her.
    I have used about 50 or more ans have at least that many more left. Not all my quilts get labels. I hate putting them on and think they ruin the looks, even on the backs. My oldest Granddaughter thinks I should out them on as they add a personal touch. She has 4 or 5 and a comforter and her's doesn't have a label.

    I didn't want them for quilts actually. I wanted them to sew into totes that I make for some of my friends. I could make them, I have an embroidery machine. Just looking for the time saver feature, LOL! Thanks for all the suggestions.

    Since you know how to use your embroidery machine, why don't you just make your own. Or eve, just put you name somewhere in the lining or inside a pocker.

    I have done this for my flannel quilts so the label doesn't get in the way of the quilt's design and colors.
