Receiving Blankets

Materials: Flannel is preferred, but fleece is also a good option.

Machine: A Serger is suggested. Sewing machines may be used with fleece.

Color: You can use any color or print fabric.

Size: 30” x 30” up to 36” x 36”

Washing:

• Finished blankets must be washed.

• Please use a “color catcher” in the washer if the fabric has colors that are likely to run.

• Do not use a fabric softener in the washer or dryer.

• After washing/drying please check the blanket for loose threads that need to be woven in.

Pattern:

• When using a serger, hem around the entire blanket, rounding the corners so that you only have one thread tail to tuck in. Weave in serger ends at least 2”.

• When using a sewing machine to make fleece blankets, use a zig zag or blanket stitch.
