Small Label Series Playlist

An image of all 5 small labels in the Small Label Series.

This playlist link goes to the Small Label Series on my YouTube channel where I took an Eights label sheet and made five mini labels using different methods. The image above takes you to the my page where you will find the YouTube link to the playlist.

Why Sublimation?

Label with orphan blocks as framing.

Did you purchase a digital template but aren’t sure how important fabric content is for your label? Are you on the fence about a polyester label? Take a look at this page where I have photographs of the different ink and fabrics for both sublimation and inkjet to help you decide. Then read on for images of what happened to the labels when I washed them 10 times or more.

Label sayings

This shows two different labels. On the bottom one a block of white fabric behind the label showing that a dark backing can show through the label and you might need a backing fabric to the label.

What do you want to say on your label? Do you want to make it warm and fuzzy or maybe a little sassy? Maybe a poem? Come see what I have listed and get your creative juices flowing. I add sayings as I come across them.

Look and feel

Lining fabric with light to medium interfacing- shows the ripple of the label with the batting shrinking.

Do you think you need to use interfacing with your polyester label? The answer might surprise you.

Finishing your Label

Photo of a large (Solo) quilt label. It has two horses on it and the words have their names and at the bottom is "The long awaited joining of two herds." The label has been finished with half square triangles on the two 'free' edges that are not sewn into the label.

You’ve printed your label or ordered it from me- now you need to finish it. This is what I do to finish mine so it is ready to place on the quilt.
