As I sit here with the two sided blankie my sister made me two years ago, I started retying the fringe that has come undone.
Thanks for the new method, I think I will use it for my DD's two-sided Christmas blankie.
As far as the fleece fabric, I buy the anti-pill. It costs a tad more, but worth it. I stay away from the cheap stuff and the stuff that is too stretchy. It does not hold up very well to washings and use.
I too have done about 30-40 of these over the past few years. Boy, do my hands get tired cutting and tying. Thanks for the tip.
