OK after reading alot of the previous posts I have decided I am definately down in the inexperienced area of the list members and really need to get back to some REAL sewing as opposed to mending and adjusting. Since you have been so giving with your help I am going to ask for advice yet again. I know that I once KNEW the answer to this but I can NOT seem to access it at the moment, whether due to the lonnngg inactive period or age and senility.....? I am putting together some light weight throws since the evening temps have suddenly dropped from 20c/70f to 3c/35f and my old bones are complaining greatly; actually had to scrape the van windows twice already BBBRRRR. I know I must "tie/tack" all the layers together but I am not sure of the best/most esthetic way to do this. Most of the throws are 45-60" x 60-100" and either fleece and flannell with thinsulate batting or 2 layers of fleece and 1 flannel (1 of each was too thin). I vaguely remember "knotting" the layers together when I made a patchwork quilt yars ago but this does not really appeal to my eye on these and I am worried if I quilt areas using the patterned side of the throw I am going to ruin the insulating abilities with too many needle holes. Am I just overthinking or are there guidelines/ideas that might help?
thanks elaine
