Mainstays Performance Cotton Bath Towel, Super Soft Quick Dry Fade Resistant, Textured Yellow

I bought 2 Mainstays white bath towels and I used them for making a handmade blanket that's made of 8 other old towels of various colors and the two white towels to complete it. The only problem with these towels is that they're made with a chain stitch so when you cut them in pieces or in half the threads start to pull apart and the towel unravels. The towel shouldn't have been made with a chain stitch. When I sewed the two towels I sewed the intact outer edges of the towel to the other towels that were already a part of the blanket. That was successful but when I tried cutting one towel in half to make it one long 7" wide strip of cloth to fill in a gap between two towels the thread just started to pull apart and I'm afraid what would happen if I ever wash the blanket. It may fall apart or maybe not. I don't know if I can wash the blanket in the future. I do know that the blanket is soft and extremely heavy, thick and warm. These towels are great for making blankets as long as you don't cut them in pieces. The blanket ended up being used to keep warm sitting on the sofa and me being all wrapped up in it.
