To make my baby/child blankets I just buy (2) 50x60 fleece throw blankets from walmart for $2.50 +tax a piece and sew them together. One side usually has a pattern and the other is just a solid color

Be careful while sewing over the pins because the needle may snap the pins and may fly up and cut you

@mumblesandwool1243 8 жыл бұрын

its fine to sew over pins when theyre perpendicular :)

@katielove9932 6 жыл бұрын

Jazzy- Kat You are so right! Don't ever sew over any direction of pins. It's not safe. And could ruin your machine.

@princessagatha9991 5 жыл бұрын

I think it depends on the machine. We learned on old singer machines in high school school and we were able to sew over our perpendicular pins just fine (it was the way we were taught and never caused us problems). My beginner Brother machine would destroy a pin if I left it in. I haven’t tried with my upgraded Bernina.

Micaela Miller your needle will break every once in a while....but for the most part, the needle just rolls over the pins. There are times when it's really nice to keep your pins in place to it holds everything together while you sew.

Hello!! I have a question, I Bought I think it might be jersey knit, it's super stretchy, kinda hard to work with. On one side it has the print and the other it's the faded part. Would it work if I sew 2 pieces together so I can get the print on both sides? I have about a yard of the fabric. And another 🙈 could I also sew biased tape around the knit? And should i use straight or zigzag if i could? Sorry if there is confusing haha I'm not very good at explaining things. 🙂 thanks & God bless.

Hi Karina, sure! you could make a double-sided blanket with two layers of fabric. Just sew it similar to my burp cloth video, leaving an opening and then turning the whole thing right side out.

Hello. Do you pre wash your fabrics.

@MADEEveryday 8 жыл бұрын

+Miriam Caccavallo Yes, It's best to always wash/dry fabrics before sewing with them (unless using a specialty fabric, which recommends that you do NOT wash it). I have a book that goes through every type of fabric, their uses, and how to care for them, if you're interested. Here it is: www.amazon.com/Fabrics-A---Z-Essential-Choosing/dp/1584799560/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334208633&sr=8-1

@miriamcaccavallo4959 8 жыл бұрын

+MADE Everyday Thank you!

@MADEEveryday 8 жыл бұрын

+Erica Pheasant Hull It depends on the fabric. Woven fabrics, like standard quilting cottons will fray. But knit fabrics are created differently than wovens, so the threads actually don't fray, which is the beauty of sewing with knits. Knits will still shrink however if they're made from cotton (which most are). So you still want to pre-wash/dry. I talk more about how knits are put together in this video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ob95bKR4nNazgpc.html
