Even though this video is 5 years old, it's still relevant and I want to make a fur blanket for this winter. Thanks so much! I love your channel and your videos!

This is the best sewing tutorial I have seen for any fabric/project. I appreciate you taking your time with the instructions and giving visual tips vs rushing through or talking too fast (or that terrible thing most people do when they speed up the playback, causing viewers to rewind and replay multiple times to see the process accurately). Additionally, while you were thorough with the instructions, you didn't drag out the tutorial with unnecessary commentary. This is pure teaching! I have not sewn with faux fur and would not have thought about directionality. I am now confident I can sew a beautiful piece. Thank you!

You never cease to amaze me with your insightful tips on your tutorials. I've been stashing these gorgeous Cuddles not knowing how to proceed without messing them up. Today I am bringing them out to stitch up for gifts. Thank you Sew Very much!

Lady, you a great teacher! Please do more videos :)

You are an excellent and patient instructor....I enjoy watching you....thank you so much!

Thank you SO much for this tutorial because I’ve been looking everywhere and couldn’t find anything. This is exactly what I was looking for

Thank you Laura. I found a wonderful faux fur in my local craft shop, but didn't know how to sew it. Thanks to your tutorial, I feel I can make a throw for my daughter. Cheers from Australia...

Thanks ever so much the tip on how to cut this fabric is priceless!!

Fabulous video, thank you for providing such great info!

Oooh I just love that fur blanket you made, I didn’t know how to sow something like that. If I find some of that fur in the shop I definitely going to buy some of it and make a duvet for my bed ......nice , I do like that Fox radish fur, very nice colors. So nice so nice 🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️

Beautiful work!

Thanks for this wonderful tutorial! I just purchased two faux fur throws and was going to cut them in two to make 4 pillows for my couch! Now I know how to cut and sew them correctly!

Extremely helpful!! Thanks!

It's so beautiful. You could also saw shawl with that colour and it can match nicely with your polo neck

I just purchased Silver fox to make a throw for daughter and her husband for Christmas. Thank you for the idea!

Great tips for sewing with fur! These would make fabulous gifts! Oh and I like the idea of brushing the fur....I never would have thought of that!

Love the fur. Thxs for sharing.

Please tell me you are/were a school teacher! Wow! So good at teaching... thank you so much. I know how to sew but you had some tips that I didn't know about! Going to make a blanket for my son for his birthday! Thank you! 💖💖💖

Nice tutorial, thank you!

This is so cool! Thanks Laura! 😎

I purchased something called faux fur feather just because it's beautiful. Having no idea what to do with it but it was too pretty to pass by. Thanks for you help. Now I know I'm going to make a faux fur throw.

Cool! 😎🌸 Thanks and have a great weekend!

Perfect! Thanks!

Very informative. Gonna try the knife idea.

Beautiful

great information. thank you

Love this and your other videos. You keep me wanting to make more. Thank you for sharing. Later

That beautiful

Nice tips thank you Laura! :)

Love it!

You’re a good teacher though👍🏻

That it gorgeous

Excellent

wow! beautiful..

You just answered all but one of my questions about sewing with furry fabric. That question is this : I've researched a little and seen how some people say you need a special machine to sew furry and/or fuzzy fabric with. Is that so ? Or can it be sewn with a regular sewing machine ? If you do need a special machine, what is it called ? Or is it just that you need a certain foot such as the walker foot you mentioned in your video here ? I appreciate your help and advice on this. 😍❣😻

It's beautiful. Here in the desert I think we might need it one or two days a year, but it would look lovely against the back of the couch

Hi Laura! Thanks for sharing your expertise with us, it's precious! I want to make one. I saw your tutorial about prewashing fabrics so I'm tempted to ask you if you prewashed the faux fur as well. Have a great day! 😎🌸

Another great video! Thank you. The exacto knife is a good idea. However, when I bought my faux fur, the clerk at the cutting counter actually ripped my piece along the grain line. It always gives me little shock when they do that!

Lovely

who knew id find someone to tell me the answer to my 5 minute questions, in a non-annoying, actually educational way.

Thank you so much for making this video! I am new to sewing, and even though I am new, I (eventually) want to make items with faux fur. What sewing machine are you using?

Thanks🧚🏿‍♀️

Thank you! This is by far the best video I have ever seen on sewing with faux fur. I have a request. Would you please show us how to square up minky or cuddle fabric? Since you cannot use the selvage on this type of fabric, what would you suggest? Thank you again! Love that you share you knowledge.

Thanks for another wonderful video! My granddaughter wanted a faux deer hide blanket for her daughter (my great granddaughter! 😊) so I ordered the fabric from Shannon, and it is gorgeous! I wasn't really sure about stitching this up, I'm so glad I held off, your video answered my questions. Now, however she thinks she wants minky on one side and fur on the other. I know minky also has a nap, so would I basically stitch the blanket the same way as if it was fur on both sides? Any other helpful tips?

My goodness, thank you! I have searched everywhere trying to fix a problem. Every time I sew with fur I have a seem line. I never would have thought of brushing it.

very nice

Sadly Shannon fabrics only sells wholesale. Ugh. Love your videos & wish I had access to the fantastic fabrics you use.

Would you be willing to make another one, but more quilt/comforter like? I’m trying to learn how to make two for my bed.. but am not sure what to use for the filler in the middle. To make it more cozy. Or how to get it to where the filler stays? And doesn’t bunch up in the wash? I’m picky. And can’t find any bedding I like. So I’m stuck making my own lol. And could you fill me in on what kind of sewing machine you recommend? I haven’t bought one yet. I want to make sure I even know what I’m doing first before spending all that money. And I’m trying to figure out which sewing machine I should go with. The brother se400 computerized sewing and embroidery machine has crossed my mind. But can a wandering foot even fit one of those? I’m not sure how sewing machines work 100% yet? I have so many questions lol, I’m sorry☺️lol

Is it okay to pre-wash this fabric, or should you sew the blanket up first? I ordered a minky and a faux fur from Shannon fabrics. I plan to make a throw as a gift and wanted to launder the fabrics first.

I wishes I've found your video before I pulled the "fur" and...my hair out! At $30.00 a meter... :-) Thank you for a very informative tutorial. I will dig out my unfortunate blanket-to-be, and sew it properly as you have showed.

Can you use any sewing machine to do this? Or do you need a particular type?

Hi ... I have boughten a piece of fur like this ... but now what type / weight of polyester fabric do I use for the other side. I didn't buy enough to do both sides of the wool duvet I would like to put this over.

Very beautiful, which fabric did you use for the backing?

I would like to do this

very nice Laura, i have problems with the niylon or polyester fabric it doesn't go through my machine the stich jumps and became bigger and some times small , i tried to but narrow reborn under Neth to make work , if there is a way you can show me i will be thankful. thanks again.

Couple questions: I'm using a black Luxe cuddle; what's the best way to mark it? Chalk pencils drag too much, and I end up with wiggly lines. Also: I'd really appreciate any advice you can give me regarding backing a Luxe cuddle blanket with flannel-back satin. I know you're supposed to stitch with the woven fabric on top; how does that work on the second long side, when you're trying to still stitch with the grain of the fur, but all the fabric is clumped up in the harp of the machine, to the right of the needle?

2:36 Howdid you MARK and measure a straight line? 2:36

I went to the website to purchase this red fox fabric but they require a tax ID number to prove resale abilities. However, I am just a regular woman that wants to make a throw/bed top. How were you able to purchase yours?

Hi again, where can we buy this faux fur? Shannon, from what I understand, sells only to business people.

I looked on the Shannon website, and it seems these faux furs are dry clean only.

Why do u have to hand stitch the opening ???

How does 5 yards cover a queen

Does this work with real fur?

Love this video. I tested for a vegan fur company that is starting up, and I know their furs were better than any real fur, love them! To bad you can't find their crazy kids colors anywhere to do a DIY. Furmanity.com
