Question
I am new to cross stitching and I am making an adornment for a baby blanket that I would like to be removable. I was wondering what I could attach to the back of the project once done so that it can be easily removed and also keep everything together. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer

I am not quite sure I understand. I have seen things attached with velcro to blankets before. You might want to be careful that it is not going to be a choking issue for the baby. The velcro would allow you to remove the piece to wash the blanket, but should hold it securely to the piece otherwise.

Happy Stitching!
