Labeling Rugs ~



I think I hate labeling rugs more than binding them.  Mine aren't nearly as fancy as Saundra's, but I do print mine up on the computer in a Word document.  I wish I had wonderful penmanship and could hand write them, but that is not the case.  I have two rugs that MUST be labeled today and one by Monday (that is not yet bound) and of course my printer was giving me fits.  I finally was able to print them off on printable fabric. 
 
 
This is the brand of fabric sheets I buy.  It is thin once the backing is pulled off and I iron on a lightweight fusible interfacing.  It was purchased at Michael's. 
 
 
I then cut them out, stain them (with coffee or tea) and sew them on.  My stitches are a bit wonky ~ hand sewing is not my forte.  I actually sewed them on pretty straight.  That doesn't happen often :)
 
 
Gotta run.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs :)
Lauren

    Yes, you did sew yours on straight and I can never seem to get mine stitched straight. Could be my outside hooked border is off or the under binding tape isn't right. But at least we've labeled them with the love and credit to all. Good job Lauren!!!!

    You did a fantastic job on the labels and the stitching is very straight as far as I'm concerned. Thanks so much for the tutorial. That's one thing I need to do some day... I'm always scared too jam the company's printer then I'd be in deep doo-doo. I guess I'm always in deep doo-doo anyway.
    Snowing still.

    These are great labels, Lauren. What's most important is that your work has a label with a few details !
    (When I do shows, the first thing people do is turn over the work and look for a label ! Go figure !)
