Finishing fleece throw question

19 years ago

I am doing a fleece throw and don't want to fringe it.

My current one has a machine blanket stitch.

Any tips on doing a hand blanket stitch?

Yarn? that fatter embroider stuff?

I have a serger but its a 4 thread and I think the threads would eventually catch and I don't like the look.

Thanks,

Mary

You could use yarn or pearl cotton for the blanket stitch.

Do you have a blanket stitch on your regular sewing machine?? If so you could play around with that using 2 spools of thread on the top.If you do that ,just be sure that only one of those 2 threads goes thru the last hook before it goes thru the needle,the other just rides along on the outside of that hook.Play with it on some scraps first,and you may have to loosen your tension just a smidge.
