i appreciate your honesty.

I want to say that I was not trying to copy anyone. I didn't like tying the blankets the way I was tying the, I was afraid they would come apart easily. So I set out to find a new knot, saw several on yt and other places, and contacted someone that made them asking if they could help me learn to make a better knot. that person was kimmie and she didn't appreciate it. now...rather than telling me that upfront so that I could have had my eyes opened to the "unfairness" of using the same knot, I went and learned it on my own. now...I was not trying to copy anyone, I was trying to find a better knot. and if i find one that I like better than these, I will use that one instead. I do not want to be like others...which is why I am offering the monograming/embroidering. I am trying to find something different to sell here. I would love for people to see my blankets...or whatever else I might sell..and say "hey...did you get that from Mandee?"

had I not contacted kimmie asking for help, I could have googled "no sew blanket instructions" and came up with that same knot. I am not trying to copy one specific persons design...I was looking for blankets that I thought would hold up better than mine...and I went with it. I did not buy one of her blankets and copy it. I could have achieved the same exact thing by going to my church where they are making these blankets to send to foreign countries and asking them how to make them. would that have been wrong???

I appreciate your honesty and understand where you were coming from. but i don't see how i am trying to copy anyone...i am just trying to make a well made blanket.
