Suzanne, I would do it - just like a blanket - two layers of WSS topping on the bottom and top. Wash it if you need to get out the extra WSS or at least tell the person that you are giving it to - that it should be washed. *4U
Hi Suzanne, I am assuming it is a fleece type of fabric. When I embroidered our travel blankets I used WSS. I think you also might be able to use tear away stablizer. Be sure to run the design through Density to eliminate excess stitches. Talk to you later.
