Sewing Issues

[chasingtides]

I lost a pattern.

It was a simple one, but I wanted to double check it. It was for a simple blanket, involving two layers that I would turn inside out... and now I can't find it. I bought the fabric for it (a cream and charcoal cotton toile and a grey fleece).

I've found a nice pattern (here) but I'm concerned. Whenever I've used my sewing machine, the wrong side of the fabric (the one facing down while I sew) looks like an utter mess and obviously, that's not an option with this pattern.

Halp? Am I missing some basic sewing machine know-how?

(Also, it's fucking cold here.)

I'm as newbish as you can get, so I will trust you.

I've been doing further research and am 99% sure I figured out what was causing the issue.

Oh good. I hope you get it fixed! I've been wanting to drag out my machine, I never finished the How To series that I'd bought. Maybe make the new baby something.

I'm hoping that if this goes well, I can do receiving blankets for my two cousins who are expecting in the spring. *crosses fingers* Also, silver fleece + toile would be pretty.
