Yep, me too.... or if it is several small pieces I want to keep together, I use a zip lock baggie and write on the bag

Both of these!

If you are talking about marking fabrics for long term storage, I wonder if even painters tape would leave a residue?
I think price stickers would leave a residue, as well as labels. :D:D:D

I use little 1/4 x 1/2 " white or neon stickers for marking rows. Since I'm going to start assembling right away, they are removed when I'm done placing them. I have never stored fabric with a sticker on it though, so I don't know what it would do for any length of time. Probably wash right out.

I use post-its, sometimes using a pin. If it is a large piece, I use the quilt-tacking gun and attach the paper that way.

watch it with postit notes as some can run if they get wet! I had this happen to a piece of my fabric. I put a piece of paper with a pin in the selvages now.
