An alternative to tying the fringe on those fleece blankets
#1
As I'm working on fringing 5 blankets, I'm thinking I should pass along this technique that I think is easier than tying every fringe strip.
Sorry the pictures are a little fuzzy, I think the fleece print knocked the focus out of whack, but I think you can see well enough to figure out what's happening.

Make a slit in the top of the fringe with your seam ripper

Now you have a small hole

bring the fringe up from the bottom and push into the hole

Pull it down all the way and Viola!

grab it from the back and pull it through

My fringe is shorter or longer depending on the size piece I was able to get.

The fleece had the embroidered roses and pink ribbons on it already

hmm,i've seen that done somewhere before but forgot about it. i've done my last fleece "blanket" but thanks. i use a 'slip' knot that looks somewhat like what you showed. like it much better than tying a regular knot that can come undone in the wash.
