fur blanket post processing

Submitted by karen on 06/22/2003. ( ) 202.27.176.157

Hi again
Well we have the furs togther for this blanket, and are now stretching the whole blanket by wetting it with water and tacking the whole thing out to allow it to dry.
After it has dried is there any other process I have to use before stitching the backing on?

Thanks in advance for you help!
Karen

- Stretch each seam, and then go over it with something heavy and flat to flatten the seams out.
- Trim the outside edges so that they're neat.
- If you really want to be detail-oriented, sew a strip of 1/2" cloth hem tape around the whole edge. This will help the throw keep it's shape.
- Then sew in the interlining if you are using one, then put the backing (lining) on.
- Clean, glaze, take pictures, do what you will.

These are already being sold on eBay (commercially furrier-made).
