Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

The fabrics in the sample pictures were cut to 5” x 7” rather than 6” x 8”. I was a little too close in having the fabric exceed the outlines in a couple on sew outs, therefore I have suggested that you cut your fabrics to 6” x 8”.

Step 1:

Cut a rectangle of Kona® cloth and no show stabilizer to 6” x 8” and tautly hoop a layer of no-show stabilizer.

Step 2:

Some machine formats automatically rotate the designs to fit the hoop, some don’t. If necessary rotate the design to fit your hoop.

Step 3:

Run the 1st color stop (CS) on the no-show stabilizer, spray adhesive on the back of the Kona® cloth and position over the placement lines so that at least ½” of fabric exceeds the placement lines on all sides. Tack down the fabric with CS 2. Use white thread or a color to match your fabric.

Step 4:

Follow the color chart to embroider the design. Do not stitch the last CS yet.

Step 5:

Place the rectangle of no show stabilizer over the fabric in the hoop. Do not spray the no show with adhesive. You can carefully hold it in place with your fingers while stitching it down or tape it place if you wish. Run the last CS in white or color to match your fabric.

Step 6:

Trim the quilt label on all sides ¼” from the tack down lines.

Step 7:

Trim the corners of the label then pull up the no-show stabilizer and cut a lengthwise 4” slit across the stabilizer.

Step 8:

Turn the quilt label right side out through the slit, use a point turner or other implement to poke out the corners.

Step 9:

Press the quilt label.

Step 10:

After doing considerable research on permanent markers and reading several quilting blogs I went with the general consensus that the Pentel Arts® Fabric Gel Roller was one of the best choices for writing on the quilt label. I found them on Amazon but have heard that Walmart carries them as well.

Step 11:

Write you desired information on the label and then heat set with your iron.

Step 12:

Hand stitch your completed label to the back of your quilt being sure not to stitch through the front of the quilt.

Step 13:

Congratulations your ITH Quilt Label is complete. These are so fast to make, make yourself a batch of all the designs at one time so that you always have one handy as you complete each of your quilted projects!

For the love of embroidery…
