Double Fleece Blankets ... I loop my fringe instead of tying. It makes the blanket lie flatter and when you loop them the top side looks like a tulip. Second picture show what the top looks like when looped instead of tied.

All these look super. I like the loop, never made one like this.
This edging is nice and neat as opposed to the knotted way. These are going to be nice and warm.
Wonderful job on all of them, congratulations. Love and blessings Chris
I love the way you loop your fringe! It looks so much nicer than when it is tied. Could you tell us how you do it?
I love the way you have done the edge - how do you cut it so neatly?

Thank you ... I use a 4x4 square and rotary cutter. Can see through the square and cut a strip every 3/4"
Thanks. I'll have a go!
You are quite welcome.
Your blankets are beautiful. I always "loop" mine, a hospice volunteer showed me the technique years ago. The loops never come undone like the knots do and lay so nicely. I love the flowered fleece you made Katie's from.

I cut 3/4" strips and put a small slit through both layer and feed strip through slit and gently pull.
So the loop is another piece of fabric winding through a hole in each fringe? Love them all!

No it is the fringe looped through both pieces of the fleece. Fringe are cut on the edges of the 2 pieces of fleece.
Absolutely stunning. I've made mine in this way also, love it!
Well done. I showed the Cuties to do one a few years ago.http://www.cuteembroidery.com/7978174_blessing-blanket.html

thank you just looked at your directions will give it a go
I love the colors you have chosen for these blankets. Great work!<br /><br />
For the visual learners... go to Youtube and search for "No-Sew, No-Tie Fleece Blanket Edging - II" There is a good video to show you how to do this.<br /><br />
I hope you can find it. Youtube links here never work for me.

Thank you for coming to my rescue ;o)
Was trying to understand how this is done just with watching the pics but get absolutely helpless. Now I know the trick...
