EP76 Keeping Calm – Options if the JOANN Fabric by you is closing

We are always trying to help our volunteers with resources. NOTE: We are looking for better resources for fleece. The one in this episode let us down. Fabric was pieced together and dirty in spots.

Jeanne Malgioglio found that https://onlinefabricstore.com is better. Fast, and if you search online, there is almost always a 15% off coupon.

CRITICAL TIP FOR FLEECE BLANKETS: CUT OFF THE SELVAGE BEFORE YOU CUT THE FRINGE!!!!!
The selvage is the side of the fabric when you unroll it - it usually has writing, or holes from where it was on the winding machine. It makes the fringe thin, curly and it will tear easily.

All blankets MUST have the selvage - ugly edges - cut off BEFORE YOU TIE THE FRINGE!
Cut your fringe 4-5 inches deep, 1" wide so you can tie it like a balloon - not tying the two pieces together like shoelaces. This ensures you have a KNOT. Many people tie like shoelaces, but not the second time so you can pull the fabric apart. That's why we do it like a balloon.
