6 years later and this video is still reaching new people. Thank you for this tutorial!

Even years later this video is still reaching and helping new people. I'm not new to this channel or crochet but first time I'm considering a backing on a blanket. Thanks Mikey.

I'm adding a fleece blanket to the backside of my crochet blanket I am doing for a friend. THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for someone who could teach me how to properly do this. THANKS AGAIN MIKEY!!!!!!!!!!

I have never seen skip cutters before! After seeing this video I ordered mine so I can start putting fleece backing on a baby blanket I'm currently making! AMAZING!!!

I hadn't even heard of it until this video just now.

Thanks so much for this. I used this to put a backing on an afghan my grandmother made that was itchy and had a lot of double crochet stitches with big openings. This solved both issues and I’m actually happy to use it instead of keeping it out of obligation. This method is the best I’ve seen in my thorough web searches.

The cutting tool gave me a great idea! I make crochet tote bags and I add a fabric liner to them. My hand-sewing skills are horrible and I can't create a straight line to attach the liner to the inside of the bag. I think the skip cutter will be a great way to keep my lines straight. So glad that you created this video, Thank You, Mikey!

I use a magnet, like those you find among the home canning supplies, to lift the blade. This helps prevent accidently being cut by the blade edge.

Mikey I so love you for posting this video. I made a blanket 3 years ago and have been struggling finding a tutorial to add fleece. THANK YOU ☺️

Mikey, you are an excellent teacher. You put a lot of care in the making of your tutorials.

Thank you Mikey, for this tutorial! It's perfect for crochet blankets for the Fall or Winter!

Thank you Mikey for this tutorial. I am currently working on a blanket for my daughter and I was thinking of ways to make it warmer. This makes it perfect. You guys never disappoint with your wonderful videos.

You always explain everything so incredibly well. Thank you, Mikey!

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I have always wanted to know how to do this. You're the best Mikey!

Thank you so much. Going to get some rest and complete my project tomorrow can't wait to get started.

one of the "AHA" moments. Been wanting to learn this. Just made a blanket for my grandson and was wanting to attach some fleece so it will keep it's shape and this is the answer. Thanks so much.

I love The Crochet Crowd so much!!! Y’all make steps so clear and concise. I’ve learned and will continue to learn so much about crochet which I didn’t know even after 4 years of (self-taught) crochet experience! I learn something new all the time from y’all! Thank you so much! I expect I’ll be learning something new in crochet 20 years from now since there is so much and so many different stitches! Haha! 😂 Best Regards, Sue Patterns to Pretty

Great demo, great explanation! Thanks!

this video was made at the right time. I am going to crochet and knit a blanket for my two year old grandson. I wanted to put fleece on the opposite side. Thank you, Crochet Crowd.

This is a great video! your teaching techniques are fantastic! Thank you for your time in making your videos

Thank you so much for this very helpful detailed video!!!!

Oh thank you for making this video. I bought a rotary cutter but haven't used it yet. Amazing inspiration. Thank you

Thank you for this tutorial! 😀 Now I can add fleece correctly and without any sewing! Lol

I have been wondering how to do this for a while now! Especially for baby blankets! Great tutorial. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing. You are one of my favorite instructors.

Just what I needed! Can't wait to try this technique. Love your tutorials!

Thanks so much!!!! I've been looking to attach fleece to a project and this video is perfect!!!!

This is awesome what all of you are doing!

Living in Alaska, I add fleece to all of my winter blankets, hats and even scarves.

Thank you so Much this video is great you really explain in detail I've had the materials such as fleece and skip cutter ready to use but really couldn't find a great tutorial to do it so thank you so much. 😊

I have never done this but I'm gonna try it. This looks awesome! Thanks

This video was exactly what I was looking for ...thank you !! Great video 👍

Blessed are the problem solvers....lol. I so enjoyed your video and you made me smile as you worked. Thank you, Sandy

You are awesome! Thank you for being you!

Yes, I needed this tutorial so bad! Thank you for this.

I'm glad you showed me how to do them holes I have been using a ice pick hard on the hanfs

You are a great teacher! This is exactly what I was looking for.

This is a much easier technique than what I have been doing (don't ask!?!). Thank you so much!

Such a great tutorial! Thanks Mikey!!!

Love it! Great job as always Mikey!

Thank you very much, this is very helpful for a blanket I made long ago and wanted to do this. Thanks again :)

My mother and I make charity blankets and scarves using fleece with a crocheted edge. We have struggled with the skip cutter when we get to the edge of the cutting mat. I LOVE your cardboard idea!! I will plan so use that next time. Also, if you do much rotary cutter work, and you worry about cutting yourself, you can get a protective glove for the hand holding the ruler. I have seen them on a quilting show so I'd you don't find them with the cutters they may be with quilting tools. Thanks for the great tutorials!

Excellent I about to finish my crochet project and then I will add the fleece. Some parts were a little difficult to see how you did it but I will watch this video many times as need it thank you for your help 😘👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you very much this was very interesting. I wanted to add crochet edges to fleece blankets I already have. And I also to other items. I wasn't sure how you got the holes and in order to do it so thank you for that information on the skip cutter. And I've never thought to actually crochet the fleece onto my crochet blanket I've always just hand sewn it on.

love the blanket and the tutorial. Nice job🤗

Thank you so much this made my project so much easier. And I’ll look into that project Linus thing too!

Mikey, you completely inspire me to start making little blankets to donate.

Love this! Thank you x

Wow.....now i want to buy the skip cutter and try this!!! I can't wait!!

I'm so excited about this video

Thank you for the detailed demonstration.

Thank you for this video. I have wondered how those projects were done. This video is a keeper!

This was so helpful, thank you

Thanks again Mikey 👍for this tutorial, you're the greatest!!!

Really helpful tutorial thanks so much

Wish I would of had this tutorial a few weeks ago. Because I was worried about having that big gap between the two pieces, I took double sided pellon and fused the two pieces together before adding the border. Well live and learn they say. Now I know what to do next time!! Thanks Mikey!!

Excellent guidance ..many thanks.

Wonderful idea thank you for sharing

I know this video is 2 years old but this was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Mikey!

Thank You for this I was needing to know this!

Oh I love that project

Thank you Mickey for all your information is very helpful Nice work

That looks like a great idea! I can take a fleece child's blanket and make it "grow" with the child!

A proper quilting ruler would be easier to use. They're wider and you can see through them. They should be located near the rotary cutters in the quilting supplies.

Thanks for this great tutorial. Love Fiskar products.

I gotta get some of those blades. That's pretty slick. Easier than doing perle cotton blanket stitch first.

Your a life saver!!!!!!

You are a genius. Best video I've seen! I learned so much! Thank you!!!!❤

#258 on the like 😆 love fleece! good project ooh I need a skip cutter !good coner tip ! wow awesome

Man tools. Awesome job

This is great! I worry that my knit, and crochet projects are not warm enough.

I have the straight edge one but definitely going to get the one that put holes in your fleece last night I sewed up on my so machine the yarn in fleece for my daughter big mistake every time I hit a knot my machine stopped working it took me a long time thanks for telling us and haron about the roller that puts the holes in the fleas thank you

thanks always wondered how to do this

Been mulling over getting a rotary cutter for ages, think I've gotta get one now!

I don't have a rotary cutter. However, I used a steel hook piercer, which makes holes in the fleece while crocheting. It came out great for someone in a nursing home.😇

Can't wait to try this. Thank you SO much. I do have a question We do we get patterns for the crochet patterns we saw on your Cruise videos when I want to Like Disney ones etc

Do you have a video tutorial on the superhero squares?

Oh I would really love to win this one!!

I would match up my corners and midpoint before crocheting them together, and I would pin the fleece to the crocheted piece before putting the stitch in the middle. Like in quilting, it keeps the backing smooth.

Great advice.

This is a wonderful tutorial, just what I was looking for! I was wondering if it would work with any other kind of fabric, like flannel or just like any kind of soft material used to make baby blankets. This may be a silly question but I just want to make sure haha. Thank you!!!

I love you tutorial. I just. Have a quick question. Can I use the same technique on flannel?

Love these videos! Tks so much. Am adding fleece to my knit afghan and the crochet border. My question is. Can the fleece bunch in back on a large piece if washed? Should you add some tacking stitches in back to further keep fleece in place? Tks again. 😊❤

I’m way on the other side of the country, hopefully one day I can make the trip and check out the new digs. Does anyone have tips to being more efficient or faster? I’m such a slow crocheter!

Thank you so much. Can you teach us how to add more edges to fleece. I want to donate blankets to our dachshund rescue to sell. I love your teaching!

Virginia Good - I love dachshunds! Where is your rescue? My lil girl Pixie is 14 now! I would like to get her a buddie for when I'm gone to work. Thx!

Love this. Where can I find the pattern for the marvel squares?

I've been doing these blankets for over two years the issue with the skip cutter which I had so much trouble finding in New Jersey can actually tear fabric all the way across I've ruined soft baby fleece your better off with a different fleece you can tell if it's super stretchy that's not good.

Have you done this with a circle? Thanks for your tutorials I love your style.

I have a very large blanket, can I fold my fleece in half or quarters with the skip blade

What are the washing instructions for this blanket? Thank you 💕

Thank you so much for this video, you give fantastic detailed instructions that I appreciate very much. That said, my decades of quilting had me cringing every time you said 'roller cutter'. Just as with crochet, you teach 'correct terms', it is not a 'roller cutter, it is a rotary cutter.... I know this is a small thing, and I hope you don't take it as a 'harsh' complaint, I just could take it anymore (made it 6:40 before commenting ;) )

you're tutorials are so great!! thanks to you i finally learned how to crochet. For this method i was wondering how to add the fleece to a C2C project? cause the "edging is different" can you please tell me how to do add fleece to a C2C grapghan?

@themzb3319

You can add a single crochet border to the c2c blanket I just finished adding one to mine

Do you have a video for the marvel comics squares?

Could i do the same technique as this if i have a bulky yarn (bernat blanket yarn) blanket?

1st. Interesting!!!!

So can I do this method with my already done portrait blanket as well I don’t have to sew and thread it

I just made my first blanket and im getting ready to line it. I blocked it and everything to make the edges as straight as possible but the corners aren’t exactly even with everything else since they stretch out and make the sides look like this ( so how would I cut it in the first step? Would I cut it an inch away from the part that’s sticking out the most or an inch away from the part that goes in more. Sorry if this is a silly question or if it doesn’t make sense!

That pattern it's really nice, where can I find that pattern???

Do you have to tuck in all the graphghan ends (hundreds of them!) before attaching the fleece? Right now I have the ends tied together to prevent them from unraveling until I'm finished crocheting it but if the ends don't have to be tucked in, I'll just leave them tied and apply the back fleece.
