|
- Measurements for Full Size Bed Throw (80" x 60"). Trim selvage edges from backing fleece, set aside.
- Cut fleece for top into strips, 3" by the width of your fabric using OLFA's 45mm Rotary Cutter with scallop blade.
- Using OLFA's 45mm Rotary Cutter with scallop blade and ruler, fringe strips, being careful not to cut all the way through the strip. Space cuts approximately 3/4" apart. You may stack 2-3 strips on top of each other to speed things up.
- Pin 1st strip widthwise onto wrong side at bottom of backing fleece. Stitch in place using a stretch or wide zig zag setting on your sewing machine. Sew slowly and take care not to stretch the fabric as you sew.
- Stitch remaining strips onto backing, overlapping and spacing strips and sewing lines approximately 1 1/2" apart. When all strips are sewn onto backing, you may bind the edges of your throw with coordinating or contrasting binding, if you like.
- Shake to fluff and you're ready to cuddle up.
