Well, the leave it & run sounds good! However, you may get caught!! My mom would cut little 4 inch squares, whip shut 3 sides, put either fiber fill or old pantie hose cut up inside & then whip shut the last side. They sorta look like little pillows. After she had a big bag of them, she's lay them all out in a pleasing design & whip them all together into one of the greatest throws ever! They are not really heavy, really warm & wash & dry great!! My aunt would crochet an edging all around the outside edges. You can make it as large or as small as you want. May try one before you pitch it all!!

If you have a lot sell it on Craigs list,put the money towards new fabric or something else you would like.

I would give it all to the Sally Anne(good will).People of all walks of life show up there,and i find when i go back next time .not a one of my things is left .

Goodwill (US) or Sally Anne (Canada) would be happy to have it. Someone will come along and think it is just a great find.

I used some fabric I didn't want by cutting into strips and stuffed in pillows for pets at adoption places.

I have heardof cutting it into strips about an inch wide and making those toothbrush rugs-like the old crocheted ones. Heavy but they sure do grab the snoe,water, dirt & mud at the back door.

How about making beds for animal shelters. They always need new bedding.

People make rugs with some of it, also good for appliques. Do not toss, donate to good will or thrift stores, it can make lots of handy things.

I had a TON of double knit, and have always hated the way that it felt. I live in a relatively cool area, and so I used mine as batting in quilts. My daughter had a number of health problems when she was growing up, and the Dr. suggested a weighted blanket. I used three layers of double knit in between the top and bottom of the quilt, and it worked beautifully! You might try contacting a children's hospital about that. Their auxiliary may very well be interested in using it for weighted blankets for autistic children and others who have various medical issues. It works great and doesn't shift like sandbags do. Good luck!

all wonderful uses and ideas below! but i have no qualms about making quilts out of it!!! sooo please send it to me in alabama. i can pay the postage!!!!

One mans junk is another's prized possessions. Someone somewhere will love it. My suggestions would be UK based and no use to you

I was confused to start with. Here in UK, double knit is yarn! I've now worked out that you mean a double jersey fabric. Or am I wrong?

My friend is making a beautiful rug with this stuff and made me jealous that I don't have any. You take different colors and cut them into 2 inch squares, Her rug is oval so she took a fairly sturdy piece of material and made her "lines" by machine basting half inch apart. When all the lines were basted on she folded a triangle by bringing two points together, place that on the outer line and sew though the fold to the point, lay the next folded triangle so the previous point is now covered just a bit. Continue to the end of that line. Next line over, point the triangles going the opposite direction. This makes the cutest fluffy rug, never wears out, is shakable and washable and makes a really cut chair seat cover also. Wish I had one to set my buns on.

I really like the leave it on someone's front step - ring the doorbell and run, but I don't run as fast as I use to, so I donated fabrics that I don't use to the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) thrift store.

I will answer a few more of these a bit later----I just got home from Bible Class--found a tick crawling up my arm (it ended up in the septic tank)---have a GI Dr appt----so will catch up on this in a bit---
Everyone have a great and blessed day:):):)

I'm still looking for knit to make rugs

My Mom used to cut into strips and braid then sew into rugs. They were great to throw in washer and dryer and then back on the floor. Wore like iron and were soft on the feet of little ones. Also warm to go beside the bed. Good luck in your double knit adventure. Hugs, Barba

Perhaps there is a sewing group that could use the knits to make baby or children's clothes for missions.

I would a crochet rug with them! Big look and strips and someone else doing it. lol!

Use it or sell it for a big price..I know people here in Ks quilt a lot and die for it. I have mega piles of it in my shed at the back of my house in my sewing room.. I used some for quilt backings. It not only saves money, but it makes them washable.

Oh ! Child, I did donate to a quilting group knowing full well it was not cotton. Also , I have fused iron on interfacing to solid color and used for stitch outs for knit projects. Kay

Does it have the ultra soft fluffy on one side and it is knitted on the other side?
I was searching everywhere for some to make tenpin bowling ball polishing slings. My BBF (Nonna57) came to my rescue and gave me a heap of leftover pieces.
I made them up and sold them very cheaply, for $7 each, to my travelling league team mates. It helped me pay my fees. :-)
Here in Aus the centres want about $30 for 'Sponsored' polishing slings and some people (on Ebay) sell them for $15 plus postage but they are not made with brushed cotton interlock, (I think that is what we call it here, can't remember).
Bowlers love them as they can carry their bowling balls to and from the lanes as well as polish their bowling balls to a nice surface.
I could make dozens more and sell them to bowlers in the other centres but not for that price if I had to purchase the fabric.
Mine is the bottom one, made inexpensively by just over-locking the edges instead of binding, which obviously would cost more and take longer to make.
They are so much cheaper to buy in The States but not once you add the postage some retailers charge.
OK, I'm off to the op shop to suss out some more off cuts. LOL!!!
hugs n roses, Meganne

Some quilt guilds will take and use the double knit and make lap tops for the nursing homes, the double knit is warm so no need to add a backing or quilting. I think a backing makes it look a lot nicer rather then seeing the stitching.

Sounds like Crimplene to me. I still have some in my cupboard some I bought some left to me by my Mother in Law almost 20 years ago. Often think about chucking it but last time I did something like that I had a use for what I threw out. Go figure.

I used lengths to make table cloths.
My sister made a bright 4" block quilt, top and backing, for my son. Very warm.
Could it be used for those stuffies that are left in random places to be found by others?
