ok, that that I see this comment worked, I will ask my question. I saw a rotary skip blade at Joann Fabric. You use a punch. Is the punch better in your opinion?

Hi! I wish that we could share pictures on here. I was inspired by your idea here and I used this method to make a tree skirt and matching couch blanket for Christmas :-) thanks for the inspiration!

Hello... I tried punching through two pieces of fleece at the same time and it does work. It came out beautifully. Thank you for the great tutorial. 👍

Yes! You found your way to best make it work for you. Excellent! I find the hand punch much easier to control than the rotary blade and find that my punched holes are cleaner and easier to push my crochet hook into as I stitch around the fabric. Good thing that my wrists have not complained yet! To me, the fleece projects are relaxing so there’s less hurry to finish. Options are wonderful! I’m so glad we have them! Look at you! Already adept at making your creations! So proud of you, Carol! This makes my day! ✨😁Tweek✨

I'm making a double sided blanket and found this video. You mention how many yards, but what is the width of the fleece your working with?

@TweakswithTweek

Жыл бұрын

The size fleece depends but tends to run in the 54 inch range… what ever the inches, tho, in the pattern I choose, I double check to make sure the two pieces of fleece ARE the same width before I piece them together. That saves time and headache of trying to match the stitching going around. I generally figure 1 yd of fabric for a baby blanket, 2 yds for a regular throw blanket, and 3 yds to cover my TALLest family members in softness… cuz even their toes can be swaddled in comfort with that much fabric! Happy stitching to you! Tweek😁

I am a very new crocheter and would like to make the fleece blankets with crochet edging to send to an organization that distributes them to hospitals for preemies. Do you have a video that demonstrates how to add a simple dainty second row? The blankets they are requesting are 12”-14” by 12” x 14”Thank you. 😊.

Hi KK, A simple single crochet stitch is what I use in my first ‘go-round’ with the fabric after I punched it. I’m thinking you’d need that, at least, to cover the space between each punch… but let me go try a few options. I’ll get right back to you if it works, k? Tweek ☺️

@@kkd7953 Hi again! I just pulled out some fleece, punched a line along the edge… So, here’s my thoughts … There’s got to be a base stitch edging the fabric, there needs to be a start, there needs to be a corner. To me, the simplest blanket edge finish IS the single crochet stitch. Since this stitch is my go-to option in all of my blankee videos it is demonstrated in multiple episodes. I admit I am limited in my abilities to crochet so opt for my single or double crochet stitches to finish the blankets. In re-reading your initial message, though, I feel that what you may be actually asking is for the chain stitch that ‘floats’ over the single crochet stitch. In the chain stitch I simply follow the top of the single by pushing the hook beneath each chain there and then pull the yarn thru to loop back onto the hook. A long winded response here, methinks. But in every video we’ve posted with fleece for blankets I’ve shown how I do that stitch. Thankfully, there are far more adept crocheting folk out there that could do more to offer stitching options. Give them a looksee, yes? I hope I’ve been able to answer your question, if only in part.

Hi Faye! A Fiskars 1/16 inch needle punch can be purchased on Amazon. If you go to our description in the video you should find a link there. I used to purchase mine at my local Joann’s until they stopped stocking that item. So look for it thru Fiskar’s website or at AMZ. Good luck! Tweek😊

Hi Holly, I’d certainly not have the strength to punch through two layers of fleece… but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work. Have you tried it out on a scrap piece first? Usually after half a dozen punches I have to rest my hand….hah hah. Good luck with that, Holly! Tweek :0)

I saw a rotary skip blade to put holes in fleece. Do you recommend the punch instead that you use.

Hello Patty! So... the answer to this question is a matter of taste and of comfort level. I have all the rotary skip cutters and boards and guides and have used the skip punch on one of my fleece blankets. The rotary blade makes quick work of the punching, fo’sure, yet I prefer the hand punch for my fleece punching. I am on the short side in stature and getting the rotary cutter all the way across the fleece piece is a challenge for me cuz as my leverage wanes my punches are not uniformly punched as I go. The result is more difficulty for me in getting the crochet hook into the punched holes in the fleece. Oh boy... More than you wanted to know, I’m betting! Hah hah. Anyhew, I prefer the hand punch and have a strong hand to help me keep the punches regulated as I punch. I LOVE the rotary cutter and pad & guider tools for cutting fabric! For punching, tho? I choose my own method with spacing and punching. I recommend you try the tools and see if they are for you, Patty. Could you borrow them? My sister was kind enough to give me hers. Good luck! Thank you for your comment! Tweek :0)

@@TweakswithTweek actually, i am grateful for your detailed reply. No one in my circle of friends is a crafter. So there is no one to borrow such a tool. . My sister makes greetings cards and crochets a little. Her passion is cross stitch. I wiil just buy both and see what qorks best for me. I may run into the same issue you do with rotary skip cutter. I cannot seem to find the punch you are using. Please supply the brand and name of it when you have a free moment. Thank you so much.

@@Tinkerbell31326 Hi Patty, I use a Fiskars 1/16th needle punch and get it online as I rarely see it hanging in the Fiskars section of my fabric or craft stores. It can be purchased for under 10 dollars ( last time I got it on Amz for $8 ), I think the rotary cutter ( be sure to protect your cutting surface with a mat ) is a dream for cutting fabric. It is the rotary punch that I struggle with... which scoots me back to my trusty hand punch. Cross stitch is a fav of my sister’s as well. She has more patience than me!
