Thanks so much for sharing this. I didn't know that you weren't supposed to use them alone.

So glad the little boy is okay. I never used an electric blanket because I was afraid of them. Didn't know you couldn't use other blankets in combination with an electric blanket. This Quilting Forum is wonderful...we all learn so much.

I have used an electric blanket for years with my quilts
but I always use cotton batting.

Never felt safe with electric blankets. Will stick with quilts besides they are much prettier.

That's why I never use poly batting, especially in children's quilts...it melts and sticks to the skin. Glad everyone is okay.
