The June Taylor ruler works great but otherwise measure the length of what you want your fringe to be and then put a strip of masking tape along that line down the side of your fleece. Cut, remove the tape, and your fringe will be the exact length you want it.

The other thing I have done with tie blankets to shake up the process a bit is to sew the side seams, right sides together, turn right side out and then fringe the ends. I personally am a little tired of just fringing the whole darn blanket as I have seen this for so many years. Doing it this way makes for a little bit bigger blanket too as you are not using up so much fabric in the tying process.
