WRITING
ON QUILT LABELS:
When
making a label for your quilt, stabilize the label
fabric with freezer paper ironed onto the wrong
side of the fabric. Before pressing the paper onto
the fabric, draw lines onto the paper side of the
freezer paper to help you write straight, then press
with the shinny side down onto the back of the label
fabric. Remove the freezer paper before stitching
the label onto your quilt.
If
needle pricks are causing you to have increased finger
pain, try using reusable stick-on barrier pads. Choose
between soft plastic Thimble-Its and soft leather Thimble-Pads.
The pads work like a callus to protect your finger. They
are so comfortable you will forget you are wearing them.
