A question I KNOW Cuties can help me with---I have some Garfield fleece and some plain blue fleece---I want to put them together for a blanket for my 10 year old Gson---Mom does NOT want it tied along the edges---where you cut the overlaps in strips and then tie them--so I thought I would put the 2 pieces together flat--hand baste around the edges---and put regular blanket bingding around the outside edges by machine and/or hand---I have about 2 yards of each piece---my problem: I do not have a long arm quilting machine and I really do not want to do any of the work on a machine---too bulky I think--if I hand tie it in spots through both thicknesses would I use yarn or would I use embroidery floss---and what type of needle would I use to penetrate both thicknesses??? Any and all help/comments/suggestions/ideas are welcome!!! Thank you and God bless you.
