How to make a Receiving Blanket. 

Thanks for doing this. It was clear and concise. Not a lot of annoying talk to take up most of the video. Just the instructions needed. I SO appreciate that. Great closeups, too.

Thank you for sharing this tutorial, it was easy to follow. This is better than paying a $100.00 to attend a once a week class for one month! I look forward to watching your other tutorials.

I thought this was great - thank you. And I saw that some people were complaining about that little obstruction in the corner, but i just learned how to sew and even I could clearly see how you did that (and I could figure out how to cut it appropriately). It was very clearly shown and explained in detail - so please don't take it to heart when folks complain. It was a fantastic video and very helpful - thank you!

I make receiving blankets with two pieces of flannel, a yard and a quarter in length, a solid and a print or two different prints. Put flannels right sides together and sew around a ll sides , leaving a four inch opening for turning right side out. Once it is turned right sides out, top stitch around and close up the opening with the top stitching. I made 7 receiving blankets in and hour and a half for my new grandson . Sent them to my daughter in law in VA.

Im so thrilled to have found this video. I always thought binding was a difficult process...I am a fairly new sewer, self taught...still have alot to learn. This helps so much...I can't wait to try this.

this is the easiest way to do the satin edge i've seen! i can't wait to start some

I just started sewing, and blankets are my 1st project....thank you for your videos!! Love them especially for a beginner....even though I still need to work on seams....speed lol But was given tips for that.

Thank you so much for this and all your tutorials! I'm a novice sewer and I need to see how each thing is done before I start in on it. You explain everything so clearly that I'm making one for my great-grandson due in January. Thank you, Terry. Oh, I did make your self-binding receiving blankets and they look great!!

Thank you so much! Easy instructions..makes a very comfy blanket...love the kind and easy voice of the instructor..have made many blankets...everyone, especially the babies love them!!

You are doing a good job showing us easy and fast projects.

LOVE this tutorial. Thank you so much for the information. Now to get to blanket making!

By far, this is the best video for the self binding blanket Thank you for sharing

thank you for posting this. I just made two satin binding blankets and they are adorable!

Thanks...love how you did the satin binding!!

This is just the video I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you! Could hear and understand well! No music….yea! Will look for more of your work!

So glad to see this! You did an awesome job! Can’t wait to start making my own! Thanks!

Great teaching! It's simple, affordable and adorable! Thanks. We are expecting a niece in August.

im so grateful for this video

LOVE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MRS TERRI!!!!

What a great tutorial, it turned out Great! I couldn't find any cuddle for the back, so I used flannel for both front and back, and I hated that last mitered corner, I couldn't figure it out, and still can't.

I love these easy to see baby quilts!!!!!

really nice blankets - and a great tutorial! Thank you.

Lovely blanket, you have lovely hands, nails and I love your ring.

Thank you so much for posting this video! I am a beginner and was able to complete this project with your video! I am making blankets for friends. One thing that may be helpful for the future is to show you sewing from your perspective... I am left handed and it easier to learn when the camera shows you from the angle that you are actually sewing from...just a thought. I love that the satin binding and the sewing of the layers occurs all at the same time!! Very happy with how my first turned out! and it really was a pretty fast project. Thanks again...Cathy

thank you so much for this tutorial i was afraid of biding but not no more well not as much you make it look so easy

very useful video

P.S. I LOVE your wedding ring! Onyx is my favorite!

I have always sought other methods other than satin bound blankets. I feel better equipped to try again. great video.

Thank you for this video. I'm embarrassed to say that I should have watched this video before I made my first blanket and gave it at a baby shower this past weekend. I knew something wasn't right about it when I finished it. I used a straight stitch on the inside of one side, turned the satin over that stitch, then went back and stitched over it again, further in along the same side. Then I stitched the other side that I turned the end inside. So, in essence, I stitched the satin 3x! It took forever! I had no idea that the satin didn't require me to turn the ends inside and that I could use a zigzag stitch. That would have helped so much. I feel so stupid! Also, thanks for the help with turning the corners. I had a difficult time with that as well. I hope my next few blankets turn our better than the last one.

Thank you for this! I am making one for my Grandson due in August =)

Thanks for replying. I live in Trinidad in the Caribbean. I'll think about the offer. Again, thank you very much.

You can't see the end where you cut the last of the binding. When you cut the binding and make a mitered corner we don't get to see any ot it.

If I use flannel and microfleece, will the two sides still stick together or will they billow out. How do I make the two sides stay together using different fabrics?

I really enjoyed your video however you showed us how to start on a corner but not how to finish it on the corner, it does not show clear.. can you please show us how to end it ?

12/7/2020. Thanks Terrie. Very nice.

Wow!! Give us many more tips and ideas...

Do you need to wash the fabrics first in case of shrinkage?

I love your method for starting & ending at a mitered corner. I am trying to SEE what you did at the very last one. When you make the cut you say 'an inch to an inch & a half' but it looks like you cut at about one half inch. Then when you begin to fold the satin it looks as if it was cut on the diagonal to me -- starting at the 17:28 mark -- ?? I really wish I could see more clearly what you did there. I did one, but it was not easy. I think seeing what you did would help. That last corner, to me, is the most critical part of this tutorial.

I had the same problem with your video that Carla Dunbar had. I couldn't see how the last corner was done because the sewing machine blocks the view. Geezzzzzzzzz...after I watched the whole thing, I couldn't see how to finish the last corner.

OMG. I love this blanket but those pretty materials I'm not getting any of them where I am also the Cuddle material either. I'd like to make a few of them. I have to order everything online to be able to make them. Even the tools too. But I do LOVE THEM.

I see you using a Melody! What number stitch are you using for the zig zag and measurements for the stitch. I love my Baby Lock....Great gift idea!

Hi there, I love this tutorial and would like to get the kit in the website above however the link doesn't seem work at all, are the kits still available? If yes, would you please send the link here and I can choose from. Besides, do you ship overseas and how much it would cost? Thank you so much.

What size did you cut your fabric?

Good job

I'm learning and for the first time EVER lol I sewed a baby blanket sewed wrong sides together and turned it inside out now my edges are thick and I'm worried about putting the binding on do you have any advice Please thank you

Washing your fabrics is a personal preference. On the other hand depending on the quality of the fabrics I would launder any of the low quality fabrics and it is not essential on a higher grade of fabric.

like your tutorial,never worked with this edging

Is it absolutely necessary to cut the selvage edge? And should I make the flannel thread perfect before sewing or does that not matter?

Hi this video was so helpful. Can I make my own satin binding to cut the cost..if so do you know how to make it. Or do you have a video to explain how. Oh and by the way your nails look amazing !!!! Love it thanks for the video.

Is there any way you could do another short video or edit in at 17:30? This is the place in the video where the last corner is done, but your work is blocked by the sewing machine. Otherwise, the videos are great and have been very helpful. Thank you for sharing you knowledge with us.

Awesome thanks

Hi, What price you put in this blankets if you want to sell? Thanks

where do you get the big ribbon?

I wish I could seen more how ending came about?

It looks so easy but I'll try to sew for the first time I don't even know how to use the sewing machine lol

Flannel shrinks. Cuddle fabric doesn't. Flannel should always be pre-washed if using with something other than flannel. (I would wash flannel anyway, even if using with more flannel)

Can you tell me what is the size of the satin binding you are using? Or do you just buy the blanket satin binding?

Are all reviving blankets 2 layers?

could you use a walking foot ?????

I love that blanket ! The fabric's and the colors are lovely. May I ask what the finished measurement of the blanket is ? You were saying you need two pkg's of satin binding for what size blanket ? Thank you for your tutorial.

Great blanket, good tutorial. But not a receiving blanket. Lol

Would have been nice to be able to actually see what was being done at the final corner. That was disappointing.

D

yd

you keep calling it a quilt it's not a quilt if there is no quilting it's just a cover

why is this a 21 minute video on how to make a blanket??
