Questions
and Answers
Q. Do
you preshrink your material?
Once material
is washed, it never looks quite as nice to me. I never preshrink
my fabric and have never had any problems with it. I do
tell whomever I give the blanket to how to wash it. I sometimes
just include washing instructions on a card.
Q. How do
I wash my blanket after I crochet it?
When washing
my blankets I simply remove them from the dryer while they
are still damp, grasp two opposite sides and gently pull.
Go all the way around the blanket and then let it air dry.
It only takes a minute to do and your blankets will look
great for years. I do this whether the material was preshrunk
or not!
Q. At what
craft shows can I find you?
Right now we
are planning on being at the Phoenix Craft and Sewing Festival
which is at the Phoenix Fair Grounds in November and January.
Next year (2003) we are planning on doing more shows in
more areas. I will keep you posted!
Q. Can I bring
you my own fabric?
Yes! You can
buy that really irresistible fabric that would not let you
out of the store and bring it to us. You can go through
your closet and pull out all of the flannel that has been
calling your name for years.
The cost is one
dollar per running yard.That
means that if it is a 36 X 36 blanket it will cost $4.00
to go all the way around it, four yards. You can call to
find out how much fabric you should buy, but here is some
simple measurements to remember:
- A yard and
a quarter(one for the front and one for the back) makes
- a large blanket, a car seat, or three doll sets.
- A yard (front
and back) can make - a medium blanket, a small kit, eight
burp cloths or eight bibs.
You don't have
to cut the fabric, just bring it over and we will take care
of it for you.
