How to Use Threads for Baby Blankets

Video Transcript

"Hi, I am Karina Fraley for Expert Village and I am going to show you how to make a baby blanket. So one of the other things that is very important to remember is your thread color. Your top thread is going to be whatever, this is your top fabric and that is your top thread and underneath is your bobbin and so whatever fab color your bottom fabric color is your bobbin thread has to match otherwise, or it has to be whatever color you want it to appear on this side. So if you don't know what a bobbin looks like, this is a bobbin and this is actually pink thread on here. If the bottom, if this part of my blanket was pink, if I wanted my thread to match, I would actually use a bobbin with some pink thread in it. But because both of my fabrics are pretty similar in color match, I'll be using the same color top thread as the bobbin thread. But remember to keep it mind and also remember that you have to put your blanket, you have to feed your fabric into the machine with the right sides accordingly, otherwise you are going to end up with a reversed bobbin and thread colors and then you are going to either love it because it is so fab and different or you are going to want to have to take it all apart and resew it. So anyways that is just a little tip. So just keep going the zig-zag stitch. Basically you just go around the entire perimeter. "
