Grace Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 When I place a label on the back, I find the center, then go about 1/3 toward the bottom and over toward the edge. Places it in a pleasing location. I try to coordinate the label fabric with the backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewmaterialistic Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 i agree, just ironing it on or appliquing it on is unfortunately not the secure method anymore in todays world. malke:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega QW Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 And in case it falls into the hands of an unscrupulous person who would have the audacity to remove the label - I write the important information in permanent ink underneath the label!

JustSewSimple Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Around here the label has to be on the bottom, right hand side facing the front of the quilt. Perhaps that is the case everywhere, I don't know. Anyway, many here are heat bonded on and then sewn by hand. It would leave an ugly mess to remove it but I know someone could still find a way.

boppinbrandy Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I will take the backing fabric and stick it under the embroidery machine before I put it on the longarm... Good luck taking that sucker out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 For safety and identification purposes for those who enter quilts in shows-- Use a permanent pen to print your name under the binding. Choose the same spot for every quilt. This is of course in addition to a regular label. I have also heard of printing info under the hanging sleeve. Only you will know of this secret in case you must prove ownership. Take photos, including close-ups, to document. Theft from shows is not unheard of. My guild had a quilt taken from a display in a local bookstore during the spring ArtsWalk this year. Very unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
