stitching your name on a finished piece?

vividear

What is everyones thought of stitching their name or year on their finished piece?  

I stitched a gift to my sister and I did stitch my first initial and my full last name. My last name is only four letters so I thought it wouldnt look bad at all. I felt more at ease if my finished piece ever went missing somehow that my name would be on it.

i am so proud of my work and want always put a my name in  corner.
My aunt did it- and now that she has passed away it is a wonderful happy reminder of her.

I have never signed my works, but I think this is a nice idea. I´ll do this now too.

Small projects I dont sign, but when Ive finished a big pattern I place my initials and the finish date on it; (mostly) on the right lower corner. :)

No matter the size, I ALWAYS sign my name and the date, in an inconspicuous spot.  I read somewhere that it was important to do so.  Besides, it is YOUR redition of a piece of work, and you should be proud of your accomplishment.  100 years from now, someone will look at it and wonder about the Suzy-Q who stitched that piece :0) !

What size and what sort of alphabet do you use to do this? I have always wondered about doing it but never sure about how to go about it.
