It has come to my attention and to several others that infants and toddlers are sustaining injuries as a result of untrimmed threads being left on the surface to the quilt top/ I spent three hours going pver s Log Cabin Quilt, making certain that all threads or possible ravelings would not present a danger infants or toddlers. If the threads are not trimmed very carefully, it is very easy for infants and toddlers to catch their feet/toes in the thread and tangle them so tightly that it causes increased pain, causing restrictions to the blood, which could cause severe pain and ultimately require ER Room treatment. I recently spent three hours going over s quit I had made, to make absolutely certain there were no trailing threads which might create a problem for children of our soldiers. Quilts must be gone over many times to protect our infants and toddlers from possible danger. Noone wants this to happen, so that is the reason no stone can be unturned to avoid. I went ovrt a quilt three times to clear an excess threads. It's worthwhile, so everyone please go over the quilts and make certain there are no threads left which could create dangers to our infants and toddlers.
