Thanks for the thumbs up on Maxi-Lock! I hope Hancock has some left by
the time I finally get there; the roads are still a little too icy to
risk life and limb for thread. :(

Yes, Beverly, that's it. Thanks for correcting me; it's been some time
since I've needed to order anything from them.

*nod* That's correct, 1/8th inch diagonally, which isn't really a
whole lot of fabric. It's meant to keep the corner from poking
through/bulking up. Looks like I'll be keeping those instructions out
for myself--I need to finish the edges on a couple of receiving
blankets and a bunch of baby wipes. Nothing like practice on
something that's going to someone who won't mind in the least if it's
a little off.... *smile*

When I make receiving blankets I found it easier to round my corners
first and use a blanket stitch on the serger. It's a nice clean finish
and gives a more professional look. Just don't forget to start down a
few inches from the ends. Makes life easier.
