Once again I'm asking fellow embroideriers for their help..I have been
contacted by a local group to make "name/gift tags" for the fleece
blankets they are making for terminally ill patients...they would like
to sew these tags to the corner of the blankets...and asked if I could
embroidery the tags...where would I begin? there would be only two
lines and about the size of 2 x 2..would I just embroidery these lines
on a linen/muslin cloth then cut them out to size for them to sew on or
would I embroidery the backgound with the lettering on top such as a
badge? Any suggestions will be a great help...marcia in pa

Just my two cents, but I would think doing it as a badge would make each blanket have a stiff, not-so-comfy spot where the tag is.

I would do them as a quilt label - just use a good linen or muslin, and perhaps put a simple floral or other border around the writing. Be sure to leave space between each on to give them room to turn edges under or stitch in some way to keep the labels from fraying.

Not sure I understand but I am picturing a frame so you have as finished
satin stitch edge and the lettering is inside on top of fabric like an
applique. Your editing software should let you add the letter to the frame
then stitch it all out as one design.
The other idea is to embroider the frame/applique on cutaway stabilizer,
then use the alphabet on your sewing machine to stitch the names. That
might be as easy as using the emb machine.

You could possibly stitch this on 2" wide ribbon...either satin or
grosgrain.
