subject: Steps to make a quilt label [print this page] A quilt label is used to display quilt maker's name, date and location of finished quilt or even other information that the quilter would like to add. There will be some easy steps to create quilt with the available quilter. Here is information about the process for you.
For the first step, you should create extra quilt block to attach the quilt label information that you want. You will find that most quilters simply use one of bottom quilt blocks on your quilt top as the quilt label. The information is added in embroidery or permanent fabric marker. But, it will be better for you to sketch out the information with pencil on the block firstly before making it into a permanent writing. After that, you can use a permanent writing medium that you have chosen before attaching it to a quilt top. If you make an error, you are able to remake the block. This will allow you to make the quilt label that you want.
For the second step, you should cut and hem the piece of solid-colored cotton fabric for the quilt label. You will find that muslin is often to be used for this purpose. For this, you can use any writing medium that you have chosen. After that, you can hand-stitch your label to the front of a quilt or even along the border.
For the last step, you can design the quilt label on the computer. By ironing the solid-colored fabric to the piece of a freezer paper that you can send to an inkjet printer. After you have printed out the label, you should heat-set an ink with your hot iron (no steam). Then, you can choose either zigzag the edges of your label on the sewing machine or even hem it before sewing it to the quilt. Getting interested? Then, you should try to make it.
