Obviously, this is my first quilt. I thought the label was the last step, but now I am reading that you should sew it onto the backing before you quilt! Oops! I don’t have a printer, so I don’t want to attempt a computer printed label. I have tried embroidering the label, but it doesn’t look too good, so I was wondering if handwriting with a Sharpie marker would work, or would it run or fade with washing? I need solutions fast, I made the quilt for my baby and she is due anytime. So something quick and easy to do would be best. Any advice appreciated!!!

I have a good basic sewing machine(babylock) so what would be a good reasonable machine that could do embroidery and machine quilting or would I need to just have 2 seperate machines? I am still new to sewing/quilting and would like a machine that’s fairly easy to use and easy on price.Any suggestions would be great.
I am stuck on a business name – I am so not creative without a pattern LOL Some more about me to help your creativity
I will primarily make quilts to sell but may have cross stitch or crochet/knitting products as well, so I don’t necessarily want the word "quilt" in my business name.
I have three preschoolers so I only get to work on these things when it is relatively quiet or at night. So perhaps something to do with the peace and quiet of crafting???
I mostly make patchwork or scrappy quilts, my favorite color is purple, favorite flower is daisy, favorite season is spring. Favorite quilts to make are baby/crib size, pinwheel patterns, and I Spy quilts.
She left her daughter’s baby book, a quilt her mom made her when she was a kid, and some antiques. Wouldn’t she have taken everything if she was planning on leaving for good?
She left her daughter’s baby book, a quilt her mom made her when she was a kid, and some antiques. Wouldn’t she have taken everything if she was planning on leaving for good? She has been gone 3 weeks and has only asked for a coat because she said it was cold. I asked her if she wanted her stuff and she said just some a few more things of clothes. Is she possibly planning on coming back?

I’ve been making handmade quilts for my daughter, nieces, nephews, etc. and I’m thinking of maybe selling some online now that I have a little more experience, but I have no idea how to price them. Is there some magic formula you use like
material cost x 250% = price + or – extent of design/time/work
I don’t want to over price them and I can’t really find any comparable quilts out there to get an idea from. I’m mostly making baby/infant/toddler quilts out of different materials cotton/flannel/fleece depending on the design. Any suggestions?
I should add I am not stitching these together by hand, I am using a sewing machine, but there is still a lot of work involved, the last one I made was 40" x 50" with 120 pieces just on the front panel
I don’t have any pics readily available, but the quilts I want to sell will be 30" x 40" in children’s/baby’s prints with coordinating colors. They are totally washable and usable, that’s my goal to make really cute, soft, cuddly, stylish blankies for kids to actually get some use out of.
