Sewing - fleece


Expert: Vinette de Phillipe - 2/8/2008

Question
i am wanting to personalize a fleece blanket with someones name. i don't know how to sew. i could probably hand sew the letters on there(the kind u iron on) but i didn't know if that would work. would iron on's work?  would it cost alot to get someone to do it. id rather do it myself though.  any recommendations will be appreciated though, thanks

Answer
Hi Amy,
You can get some double sided iron on, like heat and bond.  Get the very light weight kind.

Draw out your letters on the paper side of the iron on, Do them in reverse

If you are using all the same fabric for the letters, you can just iron it onto the wrong side of the fabric.

Cut your letters out, then place them where you want,  iron them down.

you can then hand stitch around them to secure them.
