[Nfb-krafters-korner] Making A Weighted Blanket

[Daniella Roccasalvo]

Hello all,
I am sorry for asking so many questions about a weighted blanket. I was wondering, how can I make little pockets to put the weighted glass beeds I found in? I am not sure how to do this, I have a loom that has pieces that you can snap together, a rectangular loom, and four circle looms of different sizes. I am not experienced, so super descriptive instructions and simple stitches would be awesome! Also, if this works, would anyone be interested in me making a video on how to make a weighted blanket?
Thank you all again

Hello everyone,

Thank you for your help. I am new to looming, what is the wrip stitch? How do I make a double sided pannel? I do not have a website for looming instructions, but ifyou google how to make a weighted blanket, sewing instructions, will come up. A weighted blanket is anywhere from 5-20 pounds, and it's used for people with anxiety to help calm them down. They also have weighted vests. I know this is off topic, but how do I find out information about the 2018 NFB convention?

Hello all,
I have just started subscribing to this list, so I am not sure how this works. If this is not the right place for my question, sorry about that.
                I have just started looming, and so far I really like it. I wanted to make a weighted blanket, but the only things I can find on the internet are things you need to sew, and I don’t know how to do that. Does anyone know if I could loom tight enough stitches so that stuff wouldn’t fall out of it? I am thinking of using glass gems that you can buy from like Walmart, or the dollar store, or Polly Pellets like the internet suggests, if they are not too expensive. Does anyone know what else I could use as well?
                Thank you all for your help!
