Samples of Blanket Binding Applying Blanket Binding

Wrights® Blanket Binding has woven edges. That means there is no need to use a zig zag stitch when applying it. Additionally, when washed and dried it will not fray nor loose it's luster.

The thickness of blanket may cause binding to pucker. This can be reduced by loosening stitch tension.

Blanket binding is folded slightly off center for ease of use. Place narrow side up when applying.
