soooo sorry
I had posted a long reply the other day and it got lost so I planed to go back and rereply later and I forgot
I'm sorry.
ok now I'll try to reproduce the reply.
is there a trick to it?? I'm using satin blanket binding for a baby shower gift and I want it to look especially nice. HELP
I gave up on mitered corners with satin blanket binding because it sucked so much. Satin blinket binding projects are the only ones I don't use mitered corners on and I find mitered corners to be easier than the other. :humph:
and Jenn I'm mad at you (
) you never talk about how much of a pita it is to quilt a blanket!
It is easy I swear!!! BUT I did try to quilt a fleece blanket ONCE and I sure won't do that again. Too much streachiness for my personal comfort level.
UGH I don't have a quilt machine (not that I'd know one if it bit me) so I'm using my lil' old brother and all I'm doing is a piece of fleece, batting and then a satin like poly blend and straight lines.
Do you have to use batting? The fleece should add enough warmth and bulk without the batting. Just a thought.
The first one I tossed half way through cuz the fleece and batting bunched up!!
I hear you! The first two patchy fleece baby blankets I made I thought were wayyyyyy ugly but they were such a hit with the recipiants that I've made more. The bulkiness of the fleece for somereason makes those not so perfect corners not so obvious... go figure.
Who wants to make me a quilt for my dd's twin bed? I already have the fabric!
not it!
Synopsis:
No mitered corners with satin blanket binding.
No quilting on fleece. Tie if you must but for small stuff I wouldn't bother.
