  7. I used this to finish off a croched baby blanket and it looks beautiful. I am always making up my own edging and on the lookout for 'Different' and beautiful finishing touches on my blankets. I only wish is knew how to post a picture. The only thing I did different, I didn't do the hemstitch on the blanket. It just wasn't necessary for this project. THANK-YOU so much...WONDERFUL!! My niece will be pleased.
