I found another tutorial on You Tube. (4) EASY!!! Crochet Baby Blanket Edging Tutorial! - YouTube She uses an awl to punch holes into the flannel and then crochets.

I'd make two layers by putting right sides together and sewing around leaving an opening to turn. Press. Then use your machine again to make a blanket stitch around the edges. From there you can crochet in the long spaces of the blanket stitch. Hope this is clear.

Thank you so much for all your thorough answers! Great ideas. I'm going to read
everyone's hints again and then give it a try. I understand there are also "skip cutters" you can use for this to make the holes, one for fleece and one for flannel. ( Although on line out of stock right now, at least for the flannel cutter.)

Here is a link to a lady that does crochet edging on pillowcases. But first she stitches, by hand, a blanket stitch around the edge then attaches her crochet to it.

For those of you that have made these, did you use two layers of fabric?
Wasn't sure if one layer of flannel would hold up to the skip cutter used to make the holes.
Nothing against using fleece, I just have a it of flannel I want to use up.

I cut the flannel to size, embroider a design in one corner, (I round the corners) overlock the edge with a three thread narrow edge and then hemstitch with a wing needle and hemstitch stitch on the machine. then proceed to crochet a simple edge, the first row is single crochet. I will attach a picture of some that I have done. I hope this information has been of some help.
