Kathy, we find it helpful to use a stripe of a tacky stick glue (one brand here is Pritt Stick, others are available) on the back of the label to stop it slipping around, especially if it’s on a slippery fabric or one where a little wonkiness would show up. Don’t try to get glue on the edges of the label – this might make the needle sticky too if it gets glue on it, and it’s only there to hold the label for a short time.
I often sew bags with contrasting thread and it looks good if it’s the same one round the label, especially if you can use a decorative stitch.
