For every quilt theme and color scheme there's an embroidery motif that can serve as the basis for the label. look though your existing embroidery collection first to see if you already have something that will work, if not, check with your local retailer or Internet source for the perfect choice.

Make an attractive label be manipulating embroidery designs so they coordinate with the quilt (or garment) you're creating in several ways.
 
   
  • Flow the text around the selected motif.
  • Insert text into a space within the motif (such as inside a balloon).
  • Mirror-image a motif and place the text between the two images.
  • Divide and expand a multi-image motif and position the text in the created space.
 
   
Note: Select the label fabric and thread colors to coordinate with the quilt.
