Polar fleece is a common synthetic material that is used to make a warm and comfortable fleece blanket. Fleece is actually a knit fabric that is generally brushed and snipped by the manufacturers in order to create a blanket. It has a great advantage as it doesn’t unravel when they are cut. All of these materials together create a complete and fully comfortable fleece blanket. It requires no sewing skills while creating, needs a very little time to design; all of these together make it a viable project to use as a last time gift. They can be a modern as well as an up-to-dated gift for adults and children. These blankets are produced generally to use in home, not majorly for using as a décor. However, one can use it as a home décor and use it in their living room or bedroom. In fact, they can be used anywhere there is a need of warmth. These blankets are even made with photographs and the manufacturers, today, are creating some unique photo fleece blankets or fleece photo quilt. Here are some common methods through which the manufacturers design a photo fleece: 1. At first the manufacturers cut two pieces of fleece according to the measurement. Generally the baby fleece blankets are available with 45 to 60 inches, twin sized blankets measure around 65 to 90 inches. The full sized blankets generally measure 90 by 100 inch. 2. After cutting, the manufacturers take the two pieces and lay them on the top of each other on the floor or a table. Then the edges of all sides are lined up. In case if the blanket is patterned, it should be make sure that un-patterned sides of the fabric are facing each other. 3. During this time a 5 inch square is removed from the each corner. One needs to cut both pieces of fleeces at the same time. 4. The perimeter of the blanket is measured around. The designers usually measure and mark 2 inch increments by using tailor’s chalk to mark the interval. 5. After that the manufacturers cut the each 2-inch mark to a length of 5-inches. As a result fringe is created around the edge of the blankets. 6. The fringe stripe is tied together. Usually the strip from the top piece of the blanket to the corresponding strip from the bottom piece of the blanket is tied together. 7. Finally the pairs of strips around the perimeter of the fleece blanket are knotted. Adding Pictures on the Blanket: Adding pictures on the blanket also takes very little time and it is an inexpensive and easy to personalize your photo fleece blanket. Pictures are added on the blanket in the following ways: 1. At first the picture is selected that one would like to add on the blanket or photo quilt. Generally the pictures are chosen that are not too dark without small detailing. 2. The pictures are reversed or mirrored by using computer’s photo program. 3. Iron transfer paper is inserted into the printer and the images are printed. At this time, always one should print in colors in order to pick up all the shades as well as details. In case of a color laser printer, digital images are used. 4. Finally the blanket is ironed on the images delicately and with air dry so that the pictures do not peel.
