minky mamas blow by blow

 

They come to you rolled up.

 

You run them through the dryer to get rid of most of the fuzz, NO HEAT, as heat destroys the fabric. 10 minutes does enough.

 

You pin the columns so all the corners match perfectly

 

You sew with a walking foot on a stitch length of 3 with needle positioned in the middle with fabric at edge of foot.

(Not included) 

You pin the front to the back right sides together, nap going down.

Sew all around with same settings leaving one square open to pull right side out. 

Close the opening with a stitch length of 4, needle to the farthest right, fabric at edge of foot.

Sew top stitch with stitch length of 4, needle to the farthest left, fabric at edge of foot.

Final product gets a minky mama label.

That is the link to me making the minis and the "mommas" or full size.

You will need a good machine with a walking foot, white 100% polyester thread, seam ripper, rotary cutter and mat, and pins. You CAN'T pin on wood floor because they're too slippery.

They provide the fabric and the labels. There are GOBS to choose from. You have to design the minis but the throws and mommas come predesigned.

Disclaimers:

 I tried sewing with a husqvarna and it was a little rough. For some reason the minkys take the best to berninas.

These are MESSSSSSY. You need to have an air fluff setting to help get rid of the extra fuzz and a good working vacuum. HEAT DESTROYS THE FABRIC. Once you run them through the dryer for a few minutes on air fluff it sucks up most of the fuzz. Invest in a lint roller.

They each take about 2-3 hours depending on how fast you pin, trim, and sew and in some cases design. You start out on the minis, and they by far take the longest, but I stuck with it and now I only do the mommas and the throws because they come half sewn.

You need to be able to commute to american fork once a week or get to me in west valley once a week. You get paid weekly.
$20 for minis
$15 for half sewn throws
$25 for half sewn mommas
$45 for designing and sewing mommas.
