I do blankies by folding two yards in half and then pin on the satin binding and slip it under the pressure foot and zip along. The children love the feel of the binding and the cotton gets softer in time. For family I actually quilt. I had a great nephew born yesterday and am waiting to see what the final decision is on the name to do a label. I will see if the teen still at home will help to post a picture. I love to see all the works of love everyone posts... Cindy
