Supplies Needed: 2 yards of fabric ( 1 yard for front and 1 yard for the backing), 1 yard of batting, 2 packages of double bias tape, and according sewing thread thread.
Step 1: Pre-wash all fabric and steam and press.
Step 2: Trim fabric
Step 3: Lay backing fabric facing down on a smooth surface, lay batting on top of fabric and smooth out, and then lay top fabric facing outwards on top.
Step 4: Pin together the sandwich of fabric and batting together.
Step 5: Quilt/sew together the layers of the blanket.
I use the strips on the backing to as guide to help sew in a straight line.
As you can see the stitching appears on the font of the blanket with a neat clean appearance.
Step 6: Arrange bias tape to cover over all raw edges of the blanket, and pin/clip in place. I normally secure the bias tape on one unfolded side, and then refolding the tape to hide the stitching.
I prefer starting at the edge of the blanket when I secure the the binding tape.
To hide the overlapping/end. I sew on top of the beginning portion of the binding.
I folded back the binding to original position when it came of the package.
Step 7: Sew bias tape/binding on to the blanket, and your finished!
