Making these were the best thing ever! One pack of super cheap receiving blankets on sale at Marshall’s cost me $5 and I made a TON of wipes and we use them every single day for noses, faces, and nice for wiping away tears on a bad day. They don’t tear up your eyes like tissue! Thanks for the video! Worked perfectly!!
Good stuff. For years I have used old white T-shirts for blowing my nose and napkins. The thicker ones are the best. For paper towels, I use about anything and of course, the (mostly) cotton is the best. Cut out any emblems/designs for sure. I use those neon, small garage rags for drying my hands in the kitchen. I get very little fraying on the cut cloth and like I said, I've used the same ones for many years. I don't buy tissue or paper towels at the store anymore. All of this cloth washes and dries well without taking up much room/energy.
So the sawtooth pattern on the pinking sheers limits some of the fraying on the edges, but doesn’t prevent it altogether. I would think that with regular straight scissors you may just have a bit more fraying (or longer frayed strings) depending on your fabric. Perhaps you may want to cut your wipes a little larger to accommodate for extra lost edge.
@@TheCrunchyGinger thank you!!! I just washed one and there is some fraying but im not too fussed . :) dont want to buy pinking shears just for this. :) i heard jersey cotton dont fray. So might use it too! Also do i have to check my front load washing machine (not dryer) for threads from frayed edges?
Great! I hear you! Sometimes best to use what you have and not over complicate things. In my front loader, lint or strings usually collect on the glass door or in the little lint/filter trap. I’m not sure if all washers work like that, but it seems like a good idea to check it out just in case.
I have not used fleece, but I know that folks often do! So I think that would work well and it also shouldn’t fray! I have found that using the pinking shears with flannel (and not sewing) works well for me. It does fray a bit at first but stops after a few washes.
