Some threads bleed. Usually reds, but other dark colors can also bleed slightly. You can cut a snippet of them and put them in luke warm water bowls and see if they change water color overnight. If you find that you have a bleeder, you should wash the threads first. If it is for a baby blanket that will likely be used and washed, you definitely want to make sure that the color won't bleed onto your final project later. If you plan to never wash it and just throw it in a frame, you may not need to pre-wash the fabrics.
Thanks so much, yes better safe than sorry. I just think it’s kind of ridiculous, since I’ve made 2 other similar blankets and never had been instructed to do so. An added step just to make it a little more complicated! Thanks for your help!

Take a look at the chart on needle and thread I posted as a tip, but generally, you'll need to use a larger needle, something like a 14 or maybe even a 16, but you shouldn't need heavy-duty thread.
Some sewing machines do a similar "overcasting" stitch but it won't be big like you might want on polar fleece or a blanket edge. The commercial blanket stitch you see on blankets will be done by a special purpose industrial machine and it applies a single thread just as you would when doing a blanket stitch by hand. So look at the stitch selection dial on your machine and see if there is something resembling a blanket stitch but it usually would only be 4mm wide, the maximum your machine probably can stitch. 206 views
