I kept saying to the tv while watching your video... No, Lisa, no, wait.. hold up!! Dont sew that binding on yet! ".b Its still a nice label and in a way, very punny!
Been doing this for decades. Nifty, ja?! The added bonus with this technique is we get a Hanging Sleeve as well - if you fold a triangle in the other corner. If the quilt is large, add a couple of support loops... sew easy to tack down a loop or two instead of a large sleeve the whole width! I put folded triangles in all four corners. The top two hang the quilt and the bottom two hold a “rod” which makes quilt hang flat and straight against the wall. Got a kick outta the spelling. Too funny. TFS
Lisa Capen Quilts You’re human, like the rest of us. I could write a book of all the stupid stuff I’ve done! Lol. You’re wonderful just the way you are and very special to freely share your talent with all of us. Thank you. 💕
I've done corner labels for years and live them! I don't have an embroidery machine though, so I print the fabric using my printer and it works great!!
Super easy, Jennie. I get the fabric sheets made for the printer. I haven't tried printing on fabric from the bolt though. That sounds more complicated!
I’ve been trying to do an embroidered corner label. This video it just what I was looking for. What do you have in the hoop that is cut away? That you tape the fabric to?
Thanks for sharing. I complete mine generally the same way. The glue idea is appreciated. I add an little matching border around the open edge and steam a seam it down. Adding a note sounds great but if it’s a kid quilt or one to be washed often I think it could be problematic Again thanks!
I wish we lived closer Carole so we could break out your embroidery machine and give it a go. The hardest part is getting started and the more you work with it the more comfortable you'll be.
I'm pretty new to using my embroidery machine as I've only had my Brother PE800 for a few months. I'm still trying to figure out which stabilizer will work best for projects, and especially for quilt labels. I need a "stabilizer dictionary" 😂. I will try the process you used in this video on my next quilt label--thanks for the detailed demonstration. I also just watched your video where you explain the Stabilizer Window idea. I need to get some heavyweight tear away because that's a great idea. Also, did you use 1/2" font for top line and then 1/4" font for the last 3 lines on your label?
I was on the fence for about 2 years before purchasing one........I don't do a lot of clothing items with it, but it has been great for customizing my quilts and other projects. I'd like to branch out more into some other projects with it :)
Barbara Furrow when you do get a chance to get your embroidery machine try to get the biggest hoop size you can afford. I upgraded to a 6x10 last year and now I want a bigger hoop size (hoopenvy) lol
LOL. My husband like to decorate cakes for family events but his spelling was slightly off one time. Instead of congratulations he had congraduations. I once read where a quilter would tuck behind her labels extra fabric left over from making the quilt. Therefore the person receiving the quilt would have matching fabric for repairs plus the fabric would age accordingly with each washing.
I think that is such a great idea about tucking some extra fabric away with the quilt.....it makes so much sense! Hahahaa....without spell check I probably would have spelt congratulations the same exact way your hubby did heheheeee :)
That is so nice.. I’m making a table runner for my sister and I’d like to sew a medium sized message on the inside border but I’m a new at quilting....so is this possible to do....although it may be a challenge I’d like to try it if O can get a little help and direction 😊
this was an experiment with a wider binding....usually I cut my strips at 2.5 inches....this time I cut them at 3 inches to see what it would look like. I really like the wider appearance of the binding around the edges that this gave, however I do think I should have stitched closer to the edge of the binding to finish :)
What is the name of the quilt you are doing the label on Lisa please. I can't seem to find the tutorial anywhere. I would like to make something similar. Thanks.
No, however if you make so much money each year you'll need to pay tax on it :) and if you are selling on a regular basis....I would do it and get legit
I embrace my mistakes....and it's all okay ♡♡ hahahaa, go figure!
I kept saying to the tv while watching your video... No, Lisa, no, wait.. hold up!! Dont sew that binding on yet! ".b Its still a nice label and in a way, very punny!
hahahahaa......sometimes I really wonder about myself hahahaa........I should probably SLOWWWW down some :)
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead Guess I'm not a quilter..ha ha! Did you do something wrong? Puzzled at comments!😒
lol....I spelt "embracing" incorrectly on my quilt label...........
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead Oh..i see..lol Well aren't you just human just like the rest of us! 😆

uhhhh I can't believe I messed that up....oh wait...yes I can hahahaa!!!! The corners for hanging rods is a great tip!!!

I love that it is misspelled. Exactly what I would do. Keeps them guessing!
hahahaha yessss.....keeps them guessing lol
Thanks for sharing how you do the quilt labels made in a triangle, I’m going to try this method.
Thanks for showing how to sew the border/binding. I had been having so much trouble with getting it squared. And you made it look so easy.
Glad it was helpful!
another great video Lisa. Your quilt (what I got to see of it, lol ) and the label look great.. God bless you sweet lady..
Thank you so much sweet Mary :)
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead ❤
I love the way you bind your corners. Great tutorial. Thank you so much ☺️ 👍🇨🇦
Thank you so much Mary-Lynn!!!!
I've done corner labels for years and live them! I don't have an embroidery machine though, so I print the fabric using my printer and it works great!!
There are just SOOOO many possibilities when you print on fabric....I love it!!!
Not been brave enough to print on fabric. For some reason I find it really daunting.
Super easy, Jennie. I get the fabric sheets made for the printer. I haven't tried printing on fabric from the bolt though. That sounds more complicated!
Brilliant!!! Thank you for this informative and easy to follow video!

Love it,looks so simple. I have the Janome 12000 but am frighten to do embroidery as I don’t know how too. Looking forward to more tutorials.

This is how I will do all of my quilting labeling! Thanks for sharing! looking forward to more tutorial.
You are so welcome!
I love this. So simple and looks great. I’ll. Be using this method with my next quilt.
It really does finish so well and so simple :)
What a great idea! Thank you!

Another reason why I’d love to have an embroidery machine! On my wish list.

Great idea Lisa !
thank you sooo much Rosie!
Another great label, thanks.
my pleasure, I'm glad I can pass along the ideas :)
love the video! ty Lisa Anne Capen you made it your way

@@CecesQuiltingEtc confused on the reply. I have had many EMB machine for years. not sure comment was meant for me? hum...all is good.
Oops sorry, fingers are faster than the brain. Lol
I think I meant it for someone further down the thread.
I didn’t even notice the spelling. We need spellcheck on our design software. I always love your videos.
I am in total agreement hahaha......these softwares SHOULD have a spell check....whyyyyyyy???????? hahahahahaaaa
Did you use quarter inch fonts for the bottom scripts?
Love this idea!
thank you so much Leisa!

I'm sure you could do this, if you need some help send me an email :) lisacapenquilts@gmail.com
You can also just baste down your label and you can skip gluing your square together by ironing it well
awesome tips, thanks for sharing!!
What size do you cut your binding?? It looks like a thicker binding
this was an experiment with a wider binding....usually I cut my strips at 2.5 inches....this time I cut them at 3 inches to see what it would look like. I really like the wider appearance of the binding around the edges that this gave, however I do think I should have stitched closer to the edge of the binding to finish :)
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead thankyou, I liked it with a thicker binding as well. I think it finished off the quilt better.
What is the name of the quilt you are doing the label on Lisa please. I can't seem to find the tutorial anywhere. I would like to make something similar. Thanks.
This is an experiment I'm working on......I'll be releasing a tutorial about it soon :)
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead ok thank you.
Do we need to register a business name if we put a label on our quilts to sell?
No, however if you make so much money each year you'll need to pay tax on it :) and if you are selling on a regular basis....I would do it and get legit
Good Video 😊
thank you soooooo so much :)
Lisa! Embracing misspelled!
Oh well, I'm okay with that :)
Or “embracing”….
N
Embracing is not spelled with an S
You must not have seen my comment from 4 years ago lol
I guess you know the spelling is embracing.
