Need shagging instructions
Okay, I finally finished one of my UFOs and I'm sitting here cutting the
fringe into a flannel shag quilt. Do I remember these nexts steps right? 1.) Wash it 2.) Dry it a little, shake it out outside, clean the lint trap repeat every 15 minutes until shagged as desired. ? Giselle (that's IT? ) |

Nothing in the world would have made my shaggy flannel quilt quit shedding.
I finally put it in the trash. It even erupted there and blew the top off the dumpster - but I do know that others have succeeded. When you're washing it, do check the washer filter frequently. And Don't wash the shaggies off of the filter down the sink drain. Plumbers are quite expensive. I'm just a Little Miss Sunshine tonight. Polly "Violet "F'loonslayer" Volfie" wrote in message ...

Polly Worse, don't wash it when washing a cat hair covered blanket. I needed a new washing machine after that. Yes, Giselle, just was normally, and run it through the dryer a few times. Make sure it is fully clipped first. -georg |

My suggestion is to take the quilt to the Laundromat. I learned this the
hard way after DH had to take the washer apart because the lint had globbed up the innards. Throw a couple pair of jeans in with the quilt to get a little action going--helps it to fray a bit better. Merrystitch " |

The best shaggy quilt tip I ever got was to make the seam allowances only 1/2"
instead of the more common 3/4". The result is a lovely "chenille" appearance, instead of thready. Also, less thread in the washer/dryer! The Blessed Fiddy, Patroness Saint of the Disorganized LC in Sunny So Cal Personality Development Specialist (Full-Time Mom!) |
