Chenille-It CHENILLE-IT 5/8" 40YD

Chenille-It Blooming Bias roll - 40 yd - 5/8"W

The 5/8 inch width is on approximately 40 yard rolls.   Chenille-It Blooming Bias is the perfect product for your next quilt!  Use it for raw-edge appliqués, in between seams, or anywhere you want that added texture and drama on your piece!

For a plush chenille reminiscent of vintage quilts, but with a fresh modern look and feel, simply stitch a single layer of Chenille-it down the center anywhere you want the look of chenille.  Finish by washing and drying to fluff up! 

Use the 5/8 inch width on the edge of quilts instead of binding (faster, easier and softer), or stitch over seams to give the look of a rag quilt without the cutting and mess.

Ideas & Tips

STITCH IT, WASH IT, YOU'RE DONE!

1. Place Blooming Bias™ strip onto fabric surface wherever you want a chenille accent. 
2. Sew down the center of the strip with a shortened straight stitch setting on your sewing machine. 
3. Add additional rows of chenile in the same manner, completeing your design. 
4. You may use one or two layers of the bias to create your chenille. You will not need more than two layers! 
5. Machine wash project on cold cycle, dry warm. * 
* alternative method: Spray with water, rub with stiff brush to fray thread, and dry with hair dryer.
You can also stitch the Blooming Bias™ into place on a fabric that you do not want to wash and simply brush it dry for a more fringed effect! You don't even have to get it wet! 
Note: Wash red or dark colors separately. Apply red Blooming Bias™ to dark colors only as it will bleed.
