Answers to common questions about placing, sewing and washing Sarah Hearts woven labels, including how to attach them to quilts, garments and handmade gifts.
Quick answer
Place Sarah Hearts woven labels in a seam or on a quilt back before finishing, sew them with a short straight stitch or narrow zigzag, and wash them inside out on a gentle cycle. The exact spot depends on whether the label will touch skin or sit on display.
Why placement changes the sewing method
A label sewn into a seam is captured by the seam allowance, so you only need to stitch the two loose edges. A label applied to a finished quilt back or garment exterior needs all four edges secured, which takes longer and shows more on the front. Decide the placement before you close the seam or layer the quilt, because moving a label later leaves needle holes.
When a woven label is not the right finish
Woven labels add a small amount of stiffness and a visible rectangle. On very lightweight fabrics, such as gauze or fine jersey, a label can pull or show through. In those cases, use a smaller label or place it in a seam where it is less noticeable. For items that will be washed frequently, check that the label edges are securely stitched so they do not fray.
Sarah Hearts woven label FAQ
- Where should I place a woven label on a garment?
- Sew it into the back neckline seam or the side seam, about 1/4 inch from the edge, so the label sits inside the garment and does not rub against skin. For a visible label, place it on the outside back neckline after the seam is finished. Test the position with a pin before sewing.
- How do I attach a woven label to a quilt?
- Fold under the label's raw edges if they are not already finished, then stitch around all four sides with a short straight stitch or narrow zigzag. Place it on the back of the quilt, away from the binding, so it does not get caught in the quilting. Use a matching thread color to keep the stitching subtle.
- Can Sarah Hearts labels be washed?
- Yes, they can be washed. Turn the item inside out, use a gentle cycle with cold or warm water, and tumble dry low or air dry. Avoid bleach and high heat, which can fade or shrink the label. Wash a test label first if the item will be laundered often.
- What is the best stitch for woven labels?
- A short straight stitch (about 2.0 mm) along the edges works well for most labels. For stretchy fabrics, use a narrow zigzag stitch so the label can move with the fabric without popping stitches. Backstitch at the start and end to lock the threads.
- How do I keep label corners from fraying?
- After sewing, trim any loose threads close to the stitching. If the label has woven edges that tend to fray, run a small bead of fray check along the cut edge before attaching, or fold the edge under and stitch it down. Fray check should dry completely before sewing.
