Making fleece blankets is not something which needs a lot of planning and effort. These can easily be made by even the novice sewers. There are a couple of things you need to know about working with fleece. The fleece made of acrylic does not wrinkle as wool fleece and therefore you will not have to iron it often. Moreover acrylic fleece does not unravel and the stitches that you see on the acrylic fleece are mostly an optional measure. It can also be easily machine washed. Fleece is an excellent material to make baby blankets because of its ideal weight to insulin ratio. It retains heat well and is very soft and comfortable.
If you choose fleece blankets which are of inferior quality, then you will have to compromise on quality. They are thin, dull and cannot be used after a few washes. Thus, you should always choose blankets which are of premium quality. Fleece blankets with blanket stitches look simply great when sewn with threads of contrasting or complementary colors.
