Learn how to attach SKOW Quilt Label Brag Tags to your quilts with simple steps, including binding and wrapping methods, plus tips for signing and placement.
Quick Answer
Attach your SKOW Quilt Label Brag Tag by sewing it into the binding on the back of your quilt or wrapping it over the binding. You can also sign your name on the back for a personal touch.
Why Use a Brag Tag?
A quilt label is more than just a name tag—it tells the story of your quilt. The SKOW Quilt Label Brag Tag is a woven label designed to give your quilt a little extra love while identifying you as the maker.
Unlike traditional fabric labels that require separate fabric and printing, this woven label is ready to use. It offers two attachment options—sewing into the binding or wrapping over the binding—so you can choose what works best for your quilt's finish.
Choosing Your Attachment Method
Deciding between sewing into the binding or wrapping over the binding depends on how visible you want the label to be and how much time you have. Sewing into the binding hides the label on the back, while wrapping over the binding makes it more prominent.
Both methods are secure, but wrapping over the binding is quicker if you're finishing a quilt at the last minute.
Step-by-Step: Attaching Your Brag Tag
- Prepare the Label: Before attaching, decide which side you want visible. The woven design is the front; the back is blank for signing. If you plan to sign, do it now with a permanent fabric marker. Ensure the ink is dry before handling to avoid smudges.
- Position the Label on the Binding: Place the label on the back of the quilt, aligning it with the binding. For the 'sew into binding' method, tuck the label under the binding before stitching. For the 'wrap over' method, fold the label over the binding edge. Check that the label is centered and straight before pinning.
- Secure with a Straight Stitch: Using a sewing machine or hand needle, stitch close to the edge of the label to secure it. For the wrap method, stitch through all layers to ensure durability. Backstitch at the beginning and end to prevent unraveling.
- Trim Excess Threads: After sewing, trim any loose threads and press the label flat with a cool iron if needed. Avoid high heat on the woven material. A cool press keeps the label smooth without damaging the weave.
