I have one of those funky June Taylor cutting rulers with slits in it. I only bought it in the first place because I work at Hancock Fabrics and it was clearanced for something like $2. Funny thing with that is they got them in again! But anyway, it works really nifty - but....... if you do not have that, then just put a piece of masking tape up from how long you want the fringe. I almost think it's easier to use a nice sharp scissors. It really doesn't show if they aren't perfect,

The fleece throws I made were two layers of coordinating fabric and tying the strips held both pieces together. I guess you could make a bigger hole and pull them both through.

I just did one on Friday night for my stepdaughter for Xmas. I use two layers and it works just fine and makes a nice neat edging. I push both layers throught he hole at the same time using the end of my scissors. I think this is actually faster than tying.

Are you using two layers of fleece?
When I use two layers, I sew about 5 inches in on all four sides, then I just cut and do not tie. Often the ties look very bulky (when kids do it) yours are very nice and a great idea.
