Looking for a beautifully embroidered baby blanket? Here is a comprehensive guide that will help you select the perfect personalised baby blankets. 

 

 

Whether you want to pick a beautiful baby shower present or gift your little one a warm blanket with a unique touch on it, a personalised embroidered fleece-blanket would be an ideal choice. What makes a baby blanket a great one? Is it the soothing colour, the silky smooth fabric, or the reassuring warmth? The answer is: all of the features together make a great baby blanket. There are various styles, designs, and materials that you must carefully choose. However, when you add a personalised touch such as an embroidered message or the baby’s name, it makes an unparalleled difference. Along with the comfort and security of the blanket, it will keep the baby bundled with love. 

 

 

A checklist to selecting the best unique embroidered blanket

 

●    The material should be soft, breathable and warm.


Babies have incredibly delicate skin. They require soft, silky smooth, and weightless material for a blanket. Therefore, choose fabric which is whispering cuddly and retains warmth. It should be breathable to allow proper air circulation. Velvet, polyester velour, and chenille are some conventional materials used to make blankets and quilts for infants. You could also add silk or satin cover to the shawl with customised embroidery work done on it. 

 

●    The blanket should be well made and durable.


After you have put all that work into creating a tailored embroidered blanket, it would be a waste if the shawl/blanket does not retain its quality. The sentimental value that the blankets hold for you will be lost if the blanket degrades. Moreover, baby you are giving the blanket to must grow up to see the valuable belonging from early childhood. Therefore, choose a base which is durable, can stand regular wear and tear, and run for a long time. 

 

Also, pay attention to the shape of the blanket while buying it. It should be cosy, and you must be able to wrap the baby comfortably inside it.
●    The blanket should be washable

 

Babies wet beds, throw up now and then and drool. Therefore, the baby blanket will require frequent cleaning. The material should not stretch out or get damaged during a hand wash or a machine wash. Ensure that the blanket is durable and will not get frayed due to regular washing. 

 

●    Decide a font and select a special message or monogram

 

Based on the colour of the blanket, you must choose the thread colour and the font. Go for contrasting colours that reflect the message bright and clear. Are you planning on embroidering the baby’s name, birthdate, goodnight message or an animal on the blanket? In case of a classic monogram, choose an elegant font or block letters. Check out a font catalogue and make your choice from the vast array of options.
