We invented tools called Chinese it easy to use for cutting the channels so you can use a rotary cutter which is much easier on your hands and so much faster.

I would not suggest using your scraps for this. They might cause the blanket to come apart in a way you do not intend. Maybe save them and make a flannel rag quilt with them. I have used scraps as small as 4" for that. Or maybe piece together a crazy quilt or bib.Mama Sparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124372688717255658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25143942.post-838434592740744762018-10-13T12:09:52.822-04:002018-10-13T12:09:52.822-04:00Since I often have scraps left of the flannel, is ...Since I often have scraps left of the flannel, is it possible to lay these together to make one of the layers?

You are correct that the Chenille scissors have blunt tips but they are also bent at an angle to help with hand fatigue. The bandage scissors are also blunt tipped but not sure if they are bent.

You cut the channels you have sewn to open up the fabric and this is what makes the chenille. Once you wash and dry the blanket the flat flannel you have cut fuzzes up, thus creating the "chenille" or fuzzy look of the blanket. Please email me if you have any additional questions. mamaspark@Mama Sparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124372688717255658noreply@blogger.com
