Creating and applying your StoryPatch

Customize the Label

2. Place a label over a border idea, tape the corners to hold in place

3. Trace using a permanent fabric marker such as Pigma brand archival ink pens

Attaching the Label

1. Trim label to 6 and 1/2̋ x 4 and 1/2 ̋

2. Press seam allowance to the back of the label before sewing to quilt

3. If fusing, apply fusible web to the back of the label (following manufacturer’s instructions) and trim to 6 ̋ x 4 ̋

4. Label should be sewn or fused flat, not curved, with no wrinkles to your quilt
