Kneading, also called "making biscuits," is a reflex left over from your cat's infancy. When she was a baby, she kneaded her mother's tummy to stimulate the flow of milk. Adult cats often make biscuits whenever they feel content and secure.

The last cat that I had did that... but not just on blankets, any material.. even if you were wearing it... It was more like she was sucking on it. We wondered if it was because she was weaned early. Kindof equated her sucking on material & kneading at it, as to a child sucking on their thumb or a paci.
This might not be the reason that they do it, but it seems logical.

Some cats do that. The kneeding of the blanket can mean she's in her happy place. It's a sign of affection if she kneeds your skin. That could hurt a bit, but she doesn't mean to. They usually purr while kneeding.

Kittens knead to get milk from their mothers. I think it is more that, although a male cat will bite the female's neck when mating, but there is no kneading going on. (maybe needing, but not kneading)

She's going through the motions of nursing. Maybe stopped nursing to soon. Could also be something traumatic happened when young. (If she's an adult now). Both really can be true.
