XP: Stitch for DIY flannel wipes?
DiademChi

Hi all. I got an abundance of 100% cotton flannel receieving blankets (in some hideous prints), so I was going to cut them up into wipes. I have some basic hand sewing skills, and a very basic sewing machine (no special foot attachments). What stitch would you recommend on the seems to keep it from unraveling?TIA!

you could do it two ways -
turn and topstitch or zigzag. if you just do a zigzag you'll have some fraying the first couple washes, but that's the easiest way to make them! good luck!
I did some cut into squares with pinking shears, then topstitch (straight stitch) around.
I did some other ones right sides together, straight stitch (like a pillow) then turn right side out. You can top stitch again, or make an X if you want it to look more finished.
