Number of
fabrics may be increased or decreased by assorting yardage
in increments of 5/8 yards. For example, in queen, use 5
yards for 9 fabrics or for large throw use 5/8 of 30 fabrics
for more variety.

Minkee
Blankee |
|
Simply
layer the following dimensions wrong sides together, trim
evenly and apply traditional quilt binding (for best
results: increase binding width to 3 or even 4 inches)
Minkee has a slight stretch (more on the cross grain between
selvages) pin frequently and use a walking foot to decrease
presser foot pressure to reduce stretch. |

Content:
100% Synthetic -- 58" wide -- machine washable
For best results: keep it simple, pin every 1/2" to 1" and
watch directional stretch.
Flannel can/will shrink, Minkee won't, consider prewashing
flannel. Work with flannel on
top, this creates less stretch.
