Blanket Stitch Question

We had a project at school with the children making blankets using two different coloured fleeces placed on top of each other, we then cut into the edges 5" deep and approx 1 1/2" apart (making finger fringe) all the way around the whole blanket then reef knotted the contrasting pairs of fingers all the way round, they made very handy travel blankets that looked really good (they used navy and scarlet fleece) I probably haven't explained very well but it did make easy - quick- super warm fab blankets though

Thanks, I did see those no-sew blankets on the web but I'm not a big fan of fringe. I wish I were because it would save me a ton of hand stitching time.

Refer to my question on this web site. A few days ago (DaveS ), my husbands name always appears for some reason. My question was asking, how to do the blanket stitch with a serger. I have not tried the explanation yet, but I am hoping I understand it enough to be able to try. Hope this is of interest to you also.

Is it me I know I am having some pick up problems but I don't see a website link in your message. Terminally curious as ever Claire

Single crochet looks much like blanket stitch, works up faster, and you don't have to keep re-threading the needle.

I have the Pfaff 7570 and am trying to find a blanket stitch as I want to make my first Folk Art quilt and need the blanket stitch pattern, I thought it was #112 but the stitches seem to separate and it doesn't look right. Also, I'm using Sulky 12 thread for thickness, do I also use the Sulky 12 for the bobbin as well? I noticed when I only used it on the top it pulled the bobbin thread up to the top. Please help.... Thanks.
