Thanks

thank for the crochet info! I tried just poking my crochet needle thru the fleece with some crochet cotton thread - hoping to make a base to work more yarn on to. What a job! I pulled all that I had done and just folded the edges under and sewed them down with a zig-zag stitch.

i will try to post a picture of something i made for a dear friend this christmas.... a boy scout fleece pannel with crochet border...
i've made many of these, somtimes by just making a "tiny" hole with very small sissors, but that's not really uniform. this time i used a 1/16" hole punch..(yes it worked thru the fabric).... spaced them about half to three quarters of an inch.. all around (be sure to make holes at least 1" in.. this allows the fleece to curl and fold over a bit as you work)..using anything from a G to an I crocht hook
i do the 1st row with SC, chain 1 or 2 or 3 between holes... (this depends on size of yarn and hook as to the number of chains, as well as what the second row or pattern is going to be).. in the corner.. i would co SC,ch2,SC this gives a nice sharp turn... if doing a straight edge, i make one last row of "ric rack" crochet (or known as backwards crochet)... use a size smaller hook, for some reason this works.. but makes a nice looking solid edge...
hope this helps..
