Prepping for the Edging
Once you have cut and sewn your burp cloths and blankets together, it is time to prep for the edging.
Your seam for the burp cloth after trimming, clipping and turning should be about 1/4″ this is perfect for where to punch the holes into the material. I measure between holes with my pinky.
Pinky covers part of the 1st hole and the next hole is made on the other side of my pinky. Continue around and make last hole as evenly between first as possible.
