Step 12

FINISHING FLEECE <BR> Fleece fabrics do not ravel! There are a number of ways to finish the edges<br> 1: Keep them unfinished. <br> 2: Cut with pinking shears or wavy rotary cutter if you have one. <br> 3: Hand blanket stitch with a thick cotton thread like Pearl on collar, hems, sleeves and collars. <br> 4: For 1.5” hem, fold the fabric to the wrong side and stitch very close to the raw edge. You can either use straight or decorative stitches. 5: Top stitch with a double needle. Use washable stabilizer to prevent waviness in the hem. <br> 6: It can also be finished by using decorative threads on a serger. <br> 7: Zig-zag braid or decorative thread at the edges. It can also be used at shoulders especially for raglan sleeves. <br> 8: Raw edges can also be binded by bias knit strips or fleece binding. <br> 9: Use ribbing for the cuffs, or bottom. <br> 10: Cut a fringe at the ends. <br>
