Quilt Sleeve Instructions:

Cut a strip of fabric 8.5” wide and the length equal to the width of your quilt, plus, add two inches.  Make a one-inch hem on two ends, short edges of the strips. With wrong sides together, sew along the long edges using a 1/4” seam allowance.  Turn and iron the sleeve with the seam line in the center of the sleeve.  With the seam line next to the quilt lining, place the sleeve 1/2” down from the top edge of the quilt back, and then slip stitch the sleeve along the sleeve edges on the top and bottom of the lining only. Leave the ends of the sleeve open for a rod so the quilt can be hung for display at the Kaleidoscope of Quilt Show.

Identification Tag (Label)

Identification tag must be sewn onto back side of the quilt in the lower right corner. 

To label your bag or tote, you can either baste a muslin label or attach a piece of masking tape, to the inside of your bag, with your ID info. (Both could be easily removed after the show.)
