Thx for post 👍
Thank you so much for all. Your help with self binding
Thanks you os much
Michigan sewing new baby stuff for my newest great grandchild to soon be born!! Praise the Lord🤴🏻.
I’m sewing from Alexandria, MN. Lived here for four years. Now have eleven grandkids that I love to sew for. I started my making pj bottoms for Christmas. Then the girls wanted fancy nightgowns. Another year I sewed double sided fleece blankets plus a pillow case. Baking aprons were requested this year for Christmas. I finished eight aprons before I had shoulder replacement surgery on October 21.

Great video!
Great tutorial! and great teacher too!
Oh I was looking forward to the seeing the final results 😕
I was nervous to work with wobbly fabric, but you’ve inspired me...I’m going for it! Orange County, CA
I love this fabric, so soft. Beautiful print. Thank you
What a great idea to double pin all around. I will be doing that from now on. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before. Duh! Lol. Thanks so much. Great tutorial. All kinds of good tips.
Glad it was helpful! The double pinning works so well! -teresa
Watching in Keaau, Hawaii! Thank you!!
Thank you for so many tips. I've dreaded working with Cuddly fabric because of the mess. But your tips have inspired me to make baby blankets. Chico Ca
This inspires me to sew!
Great turtorial! Many thanks for it!
You're very welcome! --teresa
Haven't heard of cuddle until recently. Bought some, and looking forward to making some things from it. Glad to have also found your videos. I'm from Wapakoneta, OH
I have lots of leftover Minky fabric. I’m going to try this method of marking and cutting fabric. I am amazed at how you are cutting this super soft fabric. By the time I finish trying to even up fabrics I have nothing left!😂 The way you pin side to side in two rows may help a lot!
Michigan. thanks for the video!

This is so cool. I live in Oklahoma and I'm just learning to sew. I'll check out the other vid too. I love your colors!
From PA
I wish you would hold up / display you're finished products! 💕
Thanks for the reminder! -teresa
Excellent video
Hello from Oman 🇴🇲
I’d love a video with ideas on what you can do with left over cut offs of cuddle. I have backed many quilts and have left overs.
Beautiful

Maybe start on the salvage side since it is already straight, and make sure your ruler is staying straight, it looks like you've shifted it back and forth on an angle every time.
I was noticing this as well!

If you put a piece of cabinet liner under your foot pedal the rubber kind it won't walk away from me I use a glue stick the melting glue stick to it
I am new to sewing! Thank you for these great videos! I am in LA for a travel assignment.(I’m an ER nurse) I was so excited to find out you are in LA but was so sad to find out you don’t have a retail store 😢. I have used the store locator and have gone several places but it’s hard for any store to have all the fabrics. Do you ever open the store for retail? Or do tours? Thanks for much!
Can you make the fleece blanket with the satin binding with the mitered corners for newborn babies?
Can you use cuddle cloth on the back of a regular quilt?
Love your videos. You do such a great job at explaining everything. Where can we find the snips at? I really like the large handles.I noticed they weren’t listed in the supplies list.
Thank you! The large handled scissors are from Famore and can be found by searching for Famore six-inch razor edge scissors and can be found at quilt shops and through the company website. -teresa
We don't get to see the end result?!?!?
Thanks for the measuring/cutting tutorial. I started to make a lovey blanket today & stopped because I got frustrated with movement of fabric & inability to make a straight line. 🙄
In Gainesville Fl
I am in Jamaica an would like to start my blanket making .
Too bad we didn’t get to see the finished product, but so cute though.
I have a question… does the nap run w/selvage regardless if C3 or Luxe etc?
Yes! The nap always runs parallel to the selvage. -teresa

Do you always cut off selvage on luxe? Appreciate these tutorials. From Texas.
I often cut them off, especially if they look weird. But if I am going to be able to hide it in the seam allowances or cut it off otherwise, I don't make a point to trim them.

???Have you sewn on “Plush”, my son purchased the “Plush” from Joann Fabrics & had planned to make a blanket like the tie fleece. He soon figured out he could not do that with “Plush”
Any suggestions for sewing on this fabric? I will make it into a blanket, the piece is enormous.
Also, I absolutely love your camera angle at the sewing machine! It’s really helpful
I learned a lot from this video, thank you, Roberta from Grandville Michigan
I only use the Cuddle minky plush fabrics because they are excellent quality. If you check out our 10 Tips for Working with Cuddle minky here: blog.shannonfabrics.com/blog/2019/07/15/minky-plush-fabric-sewing-tips and that should be very helpful! --teresa
@@ShannonFabrics thank you
Hi Teresa, please, where did you buy the magnetic mat and the magnets.
Wish minky wasn't so ridiculously expensive in the UK
And in Canada too! Sometimes it has been on sale.....but not often!
Colorado, what is the name of the scissors you use? Thank you great videos
Hi! Depending on the project, we like to recommend Kai or Famore scissors :)
@@ShannonFabrics Thank you
using cuddle as a backing do you not need to cut it a few inches larger like we do with a normal backing?
Yes, make sure that you give it an extra couple of inches on all sides, just as you would with a cotton backing. (-Teresa)
Hello! Wondering what type and strength of needles you’d need to work with these fabrics together? I’m making a baby blanket using shannon fabric’s glacier minky and then organic Cotton lycra on the other side :)
We recommend using a 90/14 Stretch needle which should work with the cotton lycra as well. --teresa
The ruler doesn’t seem straight in the video quite a few times. Does that matter?
What is a good size for an adult blanket??
A favorite size is 60" x 72", which can easily be made by using two Cuddle® Cuts. They are 2-yards, precut, that you sew together to create a beautiful, adult-sized throw. --teresa
How that measuring and marking..REALLY
Can I make a blanket with minky and cotton fabric?
You definitely can, but I'd recommend washing the cotton first to make sure it won't shrink after construction. -teresa
I purchased a 70 X 64” (2 of them) to sew together as a blanket. How does one cut a minty that is so large to make it even?
I start by sewing one selvage edge, then evening up an end, then sewing that edge, repeating on each side (the selvages will be even and if purchased a precut, the other ends should be fairly even, as well). You can find more info on how I sew the Luxe Cuddle Throw in this video: th-cam.com/video/8g_F6XU-z38/w-d-xo.html
I have an older Singer and no walking foot. Any suggestions? I'm making a baby blanket with minky on one side and flannel on the other.
You can find a universal walking foot for your machine, but if you want to get started right away, I would suggest these steps: loosen your presser foot pressure (if possible), pin very well and sew with the minky on the bottom, next to the feed dogs. Sew with the longest stitch you can get on that machine and keep a hand at front and back to guide it through. -Teresa
Hello. Would painters tape work to mark fabric rather than sharpie?
It should, but you can use a Crayola washable marker or Frixion felt tip pen, if you want to remove it.
Where would one add extra stitching on a larger blanket?? Using 1.5 yd cuts and am not sure where to add it ( thanks~)
Hi, if you are asking about top stitching, you can do that 1-3 inches from the edge. Thank you. :)
Isn't it necessary to tack or tie the middle of a minky blanket?
Nope! You can leave the two loose and they will lie together just fine. -teresa
Disappointed that you didn’t show the other type of stitching like the serpentine stitch that you mentioned during the video that you would show at the end.

Can you use minky for both sides?
Absolutely!
Trying to buy some fabric from y'alls store , but won't let me add it to the cart , what am I doing wrong ?
We are the manufacturer, so we don't sell directly to the customer. For a list of online and brick/mortar shops that carry our fabrics, visit: www.shannonfabrics.com/index.php?main_page=store_locator
Cynthia Pennington, I had the same problem purchasing their terry cloth. I called Shannon Fabrics and at the time was directed to www.fabrics.com. Just search “cuddle”.
Helppp. Please share what brand and model sewing machine you use to see minky cuddle. I am looking to buy one and want to be sure it sees the cuddle real well because I bought a cheap Brother that came with a walking foot what a joke it is horrible.
Janet
I wish I could help. Maybe go to their channel and see if they say which one. I have my Granny's probably antique Singer, fingers crossed it won't freak out over this. :)
