    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.
    and the dog sleeps on the bed!
    yikes will have to rethink this!
    glad he wasn't hurt

    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.
