I need advice on how to make a care label for a baby quilt?
I was thinking about cutting a 2" X 3" rectangle of light-colored fabric using pinking shears, writing the care directions with a permanent marker, and sewing that rectangle on the backing of the quilt (before it gets sewn on the quilt top, so that the thread doesnt show) using a zig-zag stitch. Would that work?
To make it easier to write on the fabric, iron the fabric to some freezer paper. Trust me, this makes a HUGE difference. Use a special fabric marker and iron it before sewing it to the quilt. To be safe, you might want to do a test run and wash it before sewing to the quilt, just to be sure your label won't disappear when you wash it. The zigzag stitch would work, but it isn't that difficult to fold over the edges (iron in the crease to make it easier), and sew it to the back of the quilt. You can make it any size you want. In fact, I like to cut the fabric bigger than I think I'll need, write all of the info I want on it, and then cut it to size. Some things to consider including on your label: your name and location, the date, the occasion, the baby's birth info (date, weight, length), and the parents' names. If you name the quilt, include that info. If there's an interesting story behind the quilt, write it down.
As far as "care" directions, I wouldn't bother attaching it to the quilt. Just print out the care and cleaning instructions and include it in the gift box.
