Tips for sewing a throw blanket with binding

  • Teresa chose to omit the flannel layer, used basting spray rather than hand/machine basting and used a ¾” seam allowance.
  • Make sure to cover the area to avoid overspray. Clean any overspray with warm, soapy water.
  • You can use leftover 2 ¼” cotton binding strips, but hem with a ¼” and sew with ½” seam allowance.
  • Use a stitch-in-the-ditch foot to help get an even topstitching.
