Love, love, love, this adorable blanket! Thank you so much for this, and I must check out this fabric! I've never heard of this soft fabric before. ☺️❤️💖
I love this fabric! I have already made a blanket, bib and burp cloth for my new, soon to be here, granddaughter. I have more fabric that I am going to use to make this blanket you have shown. Awesome, thanks.
Considering the amount gauze shrinks I would think you would have stated in the video wether or not you pre-shrunk your fabric. You also didn’t state that this fabric crinkles when washed as well which could have an negative effect on the trim.
Thanks for the tutorial. I just tried sewing a blanket with double gauze one side and minky on the other and my seams were wonky and the blanket was a disaster. Had to cut it apart to save the fabric!
I only recently heard about this fabric and i think this would be great to make a scarf from--and plan on it! Will check for fabrics. The pom poms are adorable and i will have to give that a try-i never thought of that! Was a four thread stitch used on the Babylock or three thread stitching? Thanks.
I'm just investigating double gauze for a dress. I pin EVERYTHING!!!! anyway, I have a Babylock Victory and would like to serge seams. Can you tell me how to set a 5/8" seam width on the serger? It's difficult to find anyone who knows how to do this, and the Babylock Company's advice was very complicated. I don't know how people just serge and cut off without measuring - how would you know whether you're sewing the right width for a seam, or even sewing straight, for a dress? Same for quilting a 1/4". Thanks, Ellen
I think I would baste the 5/8 seam, try on, the if the fit is right, serge. I would think you need to wash the fabric first before cutting out the pattern, to allow for shrinkage.
You can zigzag the edges, turn them under about a 1/4'' and press. Then straight stitch a hem before adding the trim. This blanket is single sided and does have a back and front. Thanks for asking!
We are so happy that you enjoy our tutorials. We tape new ones as we have new projects. We don't really have a schedule. We usually post the new ones on Facebook and Instagram. Thanks for asking!
Hi Jennelle, Are you familiar with www.cheeptrim.com? They sell trim, including Baby Pom Pom Fringe, in bulk. Here's a link to their Baby Pom Pom Trim cheeptrims.com/store/group.asp?GroupID=14 Thanks for asking!
Why not serge the three togetherright side to right side and the pompon trim inbetween,leave 4-6 inches unsewn and turn the 2 layers inside out ,then sew the opening closed with a sewing machine ? It will be a 2 step then,easy.
Hi Lum, Thank you for your suggestion. There are always many methods to different techniques in sewing and quilting. Yours sounds like a good one as well. Thank you for commenting!
I am looking for a video about sewing with gauze fabric. I can see how you are struggling with the fabric on the sewing machine. Rather than skip over this part, tell your viewers about tips to sew with this delicate fabric. I'm thinking the feed dogs would be too harsh on the gauze fabric, and the serger would be the only way for me to complete a blouse.
We are happy to address your concerns. We would not recommend using Double Gauze for blouses that are more than a shell that only has shoulder and side seams. The fabric is very loosely woven and should only be used for the simplest garments. It can be prone to snagging as well since it is loosely woven, so your blouse will be delicate to wear. Please let us know if there are any other concerns we can address.
Thanks for the feedback. The double gauze is still new to many sewist, so I think we were trying to be sure people understood what type of fabric we were using.
This was not an easy three step blanket since the person sewing the pom pom garland was having a hard time sewing it. It seems more complicated than was advertised.
Hi Lana, Thank you for your feedback. The zipper foot they mentioned is the best method for attaching the pom poms. We appreciate you taking the time to comment.

I have always used a plastic lid from one of my mixing bowls to cut the round corners for my baby blankets. Great video thanks.

+Kathleen Gardiner isn't the Double Gauze fantastic? Do you pre-wash before you make your items?
Yes. I thought it would fray a lot. But not very much at all. Trimmed up real nice. Washed on delicate.
+Kathleen Gardiner Fantastic! Thanks for responding. I'm sure others will benefit from the information.
I love your fabric patterns!
+Vickie Schlagenhauf Thank you! We are so glad you enjoy them.

What are the recommended settings on a serger for double gauze?
Doesn't the gauze shrink? Do you not pre- wash? Very cute

Do you pre-shrink this before stitching on it?
Beautiful Blanket
You guys are just too cute!
+Kim Funk Thank you for the compliment!
Great tutorial.... I just have one question: did you preshrink your double gauze? thanks!
+Nancy DeRodeff We did not pre-wash before we made these blankets. it shrinking about 5% and gets softer with every wash. Thanks for asking!
Riley Blake Designs I don't see where to order the elephant fabric. Please tell me. Tnanks!
How many yards of trim did you use?
before we cut should we iron?
Is this fabric soft. I remember graze being rough.
looks amazing
Do you have to get the double gauze and mini-pom-poms from
Riley Blake directly?
Hi there! RBD is a manufacturer. Please check your favorite online and brick and mortar shops for these items.
how much trim do you need for the blanket?
Love Riley Blake state park fabric s for this.
Hi ladies what is the circle tool called? And where can I purchase it from please? Thanks
You can use anything round, like a bowl or plate.
Cute blanket, one question, is the gauze fabric doubled? because i find it thin 🤔
I went to your web site I could not find the double gauze liste how can I get itd
You'll find our double gauze at local and online quilt shops. Here are a few on Etsy www.etsy.com/search?q=riley%20blake%20double%20gauze
Does ironing out the gauze help with accurate cutting of the edge if your pattern doesn't have something to visually guide you?
Ironing with some starch should help with more accurate cutting. Thanks for watching!

What should you do if you dont have a serger? Also, The Blanket finished has a wrong side and a right side?
You can zigzag the edges, turn them under about a 1/4'' and press. Then straight stitch a hem before adding the trim. This blanket is single sided and does have a back and front. Thanks for asking!
Love your tutorials. How often do you make a new one?

Where did you get the mini Pom Pom trim. I am looking for some in bulk without any luck.

Thank you!!!!!
Why do you use only 1 piece of gauze, shouldn't it be two?
Why not serge the three togetherright side to right side and the pompon trim inbetween,leave 4-6 inches unsewn and turn the 2 layers inside out ,then sew the opening closed with a sewing machine ? It will be a 2 step then,easy.

30 x 30 or 40 x 40 square.
Where can you buy double gauze?
There are quite a few Etsy sellers still carrying it. Just search "riley blake double gauze fabric"
ASMR for me... lovely

are you making blanket or advertising double guaze fabric :P
Thanks for the feedback. The double gauze is still new to many sewist, so I think we were trying to be sure people understood what type of fabric we were using.
Can't you just use a plate? Saves money!

Just an FYI. Gauze is spelled g a u z e not g u a z e. Thought it should be accurate so people can find this video again.😉
What kind of BabyLock serger are you using in this video?
