How to Make a Quilted Potholder

[@ritamangus5969]

I have watched literally hundreds of youtube videos on making potholders. You gave more great tips than any of the others. Thank you!

[@rochim.1192]

I made a pot holder and had trouble sewing it because I cut it the same size as on the front 🙄...found out the hard way! Learned something new! I've just started quilting and I love it! I love watching your videos...Thank You!

[@denisefalbo6331]

I’m not one to machine sew my bindings and will always hand sew them. So much neater looking. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@4golfing]

A bonus of a machine with fancy stitches, is that I do a fancy zig zag stitch to attach the binding. It adds another design level as well

[@amylynn1345]

Love the simplicity of these potholders. Wonderful beginner project and gift making! Love your idea of stitching the patchwork sections as you get scraps!

[@jefr4763]

You’re adorable 😍

[@jefr4763]

How are you?

[@xg__garbled]

amazing tutorial!! in the past, i have read instructions on how to make pot holders but being an inexperienced quilter, these relatively 'easy' projects are not so easy for me to understand. but having a visual tutorial, like you generously just made, is beyond helpful. your tutorial was informative, easy to understand and so clear to visualize. you have given me the confidence i needed to finally try making these pot holders. thank you for sharing. 🦋💞

[@kathypope3010]

Thank you This is my favorite tutorial on potholders. (I've watched alot of them) I agree the rounded corners look so much better. We are going to make your potholders tomorrow on our weekly sewing day.

[@stevewoods9271]

You are a wonderful teacher. Your instructions are very easy to follow. I have learned so much. Thank you.

[@BrandiTalmadge]

Great tutorial - I didn’t know there was a wrong and right side to batting and now I do thanks to you! Thanks so much for sharing your tutorial - handmade potholders are such a great item in our homes and as a gift.

[@texasmimi1954]

Thanks for sharing this easy to follow video for pot holders! These will make great hostess gifts, seasonal gifts to include in a housewarming basket, bridal shower, etc.

[@dawndecesare2077]

You are an amazing teacher. Thank you for sharing. My potholders are sad looking and I needed an easy pattern.

[@lisabowman5282]

I can't wait to try this! I love how they look!!

[@lyndabaillargeon4955]

I'm a newbie would love to see you sew. Love the project.

[@rizzoli1941]

When one teaches, one should teach every step, I'm also a newbie, you don't even have a sewing machine in sight, you should show how you sewed the squares together. You seriously need to be more professional. Pretty pot holders, but you need to sew, maybe redo the video

[@timfamz4755]

I LOVE hand-binding. Great tutorial.

[@eileenwalsh3692]

Great tutorial. Slow and Easy. You pace was perfect. Keep up the great teaching!

[@rosemarywaddell4120]

I am a beginner Quilter (haven't sewn anything yet), but have watched a lot of Tutorials. I have seen some on QAYG, Postage Stamp, and tonight yours on Potholders. I want to start small, like a Mug Rug, and you gave an idea, instead of Mini Charm Packs, I am going to use 1 1/2" squares to make my Mug Rug. So hurry with that Binding Tutorial.

[@willowmoonlabradors]

This was a very nice inspurational complete video. Well done. Now I need to get my scraps cut and organized. I dont have many because I'm just starting! Thank you!

[@وانعلويهواناسمعيل5113]

Hi from Malaysia...very clear n helpful... congrats!!! & TQ

[@deborahmonk93]

Thanks Sherri. Greetings from Australia. A wonderful clear tutorial as always. Thank you. I am new to quilting and I am thoroughly enjoying learning from you.

[@michellejaggard9657]

Thank you so much Sherry. I love Pot Holders! For myself and for small gifts

[@grannygamerquilter]

I simply LOVE your videos! You are such a good teacher when giving instructions and modeling how to do the process, step-by-step. Potholders for Thanksgiving gifts will be my next project. Thank you for sharing all this great information!

[@joycescott6649]

I enjoy watching your videos. I learn some great tips in quilt making and basic sewing. Also love your fabric lines.

[@annarubato]

I love the cheerful colours of your potholders.

[@marybradley168]

Hi Sherri, These potholders are so cute. I love your tutorials you explain everything along with your tips and tricks make it easier for beginners. Blessings and take care. Mary

[@soniam.rivera1099]

[@jefr4763]

[@jefr4763]

How are you?

[@wandahess4543]

You give great instructions . Iove your potholders.

[@carolg.6838]

Excellent thorough instructions and presentation. I look forward to seeing your other videos.

[@amylee6592]

Thank you for this great video. Too cute! Going to make some for Christmas gifts.

[@vecihekalaycoglu9983]

Sizi tanımıyorum ama sesiniz anlatım şekliniz çok güzel teşekkür ederim ❤😂 kolay gelsin

[@gingerlawson9612]

Love your potholders will be making some for Christmas gifts this year. Making all my gifts. Will look at your binding tutorial also. I too, hand stitch down the binding, have not master the sewing machine for that yet. Love the 20 patches for the longer dishes under them for the table. Stay Safe till the next time.

[@beverlybowers406]

Love watching your video

[@jjo5375]

Those are really attractive, and would brighten up any kitchen fortunate enough to own some! Thanks! : )

[@perrykim5]

I can’t stop making these! I’ve been having sooo much fun! Thanks so much for this fun video!!❤️♥️💜

[@holiday-td6hx]

You've gained a new Subscriber!! Thanks so much. Love this tutorial. I don't understand the people that feel they HAVE to dislike something by making sure they've downvoted the video. (Why can't they just WALK away?) I think that's weird. These Pot Holders are amazing and WELL done! (ignore the haters.) LOL!

[@laurielasley6568]

Hi , I just happen to find your you tube and really enjoy the few ones I have watched.

[@debradavis2044]

Thank you so much for this video! I subscribed months ago to a Mini Charm Pack Club through the Fat Quarter Shop, so I have several months of packs waiting to be used 🙂. I am super excited to make these lovely pot holders. What a great way to use them. Also, thank you for the helpful video on bias binding.

[@ediefrasier2932]

Your potholders are so cute. Thanks for the tutorial. I get lazy and just stitch around the edge and use pinking shears to trim. Of course, this is only on my own - not for someone else!

[@carolg.6838]

I have single layer polar fleece blankets that I never cut off the selvage. Though I think we might prefer a "finished" product as we would give others, it works for us.

[@lynetteperry3559]

nice and bright i have so many scraps ,looks like my next project thank you

[@leannes1160]

I use my leftover jelly roll strips to make four potholders at a time. I have just gotten back to quilting since being ill and this is the perfect get back into quilting again.

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us!

[@darbyrd3539]

Hi Sherry. I love your tutorials. I need to make pot holders and these are very nice and great for presents. Love your sewing room and your quilts are beautiful

[@joykulkoski688]

Awesome and helpful!

[@annacardona5290]

Your tutorial was easy to follow Txs for sharing looking forward to seeing more from you!

[@beckypetersen2680]

They are beautiful!

[@cyndialvarado6645]

Love the seasonal idea. Great tutorial! Thank you

[@msklvr5078]

I have made my first pot holder. It’s also my first experience with bias binding. I was wondering if you would make a video showing how to put bias binding on. I had trouble getting the binding to go around the rounded corners without bunching up and getting pleats. Also, I had trouble joining the tails because there is such a small space between the tails. Thank you so much. I have learned so much from your videos.

[@maryhogue2844]

I like hand stitching binding also. Cute potholders.

[@emilym7147]

This is an amazing tutorial.Thank you! I'm working on my potholder right now and it's looking pretty good so far

[@rebeccacolwell4875]

Very fun and perfect for my many 2-1/2 inch square scraps.

[@jefr4763]

You’re adorable 😍

[@jefr4763]

How are you?

[@kaylac3367]

Great instructions. Thanks for the tips too. I will be making these.

[@jgcurtissr]

I would love to replace all my potholders with your design .. so bright and cheery

[@DonalovesMegaLadybird12]

Thanks for this video. Great job. I was thinking I could practice some free motion quilting with these.

[@candydaniels2779]

Love this and can't wait to make some with my scraps. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@judithjagmis7637]

I love it 😍..so pretty..and colorful

[@jamiebaronet9949]

I love to hand stitch my binding as well. Love your videos!

[@joane8651]

The extra tab is a good idea! I hang my oven mitts on cupboard door handles, but these would add color to my kitchen as well as showing off my quilting, lol!

[@sandyp2485]

Such a great idea for very cheery potholders. I don't have any charm packs handy but I certainly have plenty of scraps to use in the scrap bag. It's a good time to get some gifts ready too since it looks like it will be a very quiet summer. I tried to download the PDF instruction sheet but it would not open. I'll try again later.

[@Prettyjunk1]

I love your potholders..I am having issues with the bias tape.. how do you join your ends?

[@kathynewhart6738]

Love these potholders another great idea for Christmas..:-))))

[@gailstraka771]

I would like to see how you join the ends of the binding together as you sew it onto the front.

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

You can watch my binding tutorial part 2 for this. I do it the same way as when I put binding on a quilt. Just leave one side completely unsewn until the ends are joined with a diagonal seam :)

[@gailstraka771]

Sherri McConnell - thanks. I will watch it. It just seems more difficult on smaller items.

[@danalake4645]

Beautiful! I am definitely trying Zinnia next year!

[@stitchpenniesofficial]

Just tonight I burned myself with my pot lid and thought about my need for pot holders. I find the timing of this tutorial serendipitous!! Thank you!

[@2Peachcobler]

Wish you had also showed how you do you pot holders with a pocket for your hand.

[@janellebowen2572]

I like to bring the backing to the front for the binding. Saves time for me.

[@ksharpe8137]

Great idea! To be absolutely sure you have enough you could always make the backing fabric bigger than 12”.

[@kupton52]

Great video...I'm re-doing my kitchen so these will be a great addition. How do you attach the 2 ends of the binding together? The same as with a quilt?

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

Yes, I leave the final side completely unsewn until I've joined the ends. I do it just like I do for a quilt with a diagonal seam.

[@tc-bojangles-teresaelgood6667]

Thank you so much, you are a great teacher!

[@deidrapowell8762]

Sew glad you did this tutorial! I’ve seen y’all say you use mini charms and I’ve been wanting to try this.

[@deborahyilek4216]

I’m very new to quilting and I learned a lot of things from your tutorials. Yes, Please make a video on how to make binding on the bias. 👌🏼

[@jefr4763]

You’re adorable 😍

[@jefr4763]

How are you?

[@nancyheneghan4760]

I have a couple of the little squares that I bought on a shop hop so this is perfect!

[@leonidgumanovskiy2406]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. VERY COLORFUL WORK. NATA.

[@katepetersen4117]

Wonderful instructions. Thank you soooo much.

[@lisaericdavisson1755]

I am so making me some new pot holder's. Thanks for sharing.

[@morganwhitlow3191]

Hi! I've seen different opinions about thread when making potholders. Do you recommend using 100% cotton or would polyester be ok?

[@patwahl4008]

Where can I buy pre-cut 2 1/2” squares? Love your tutorials. My thanks, Pat Wahl

[@patriciaitalia]

Could I use a double piece of terry cloth instead of the batting and insulation? Would that be heat resistant enough? Thanks.

[@arlenedaddis4979]

Great tutorial, thanks so much !

[@cindyferree9872]

Thanks! I never knew there was a right and wrong side of batting either. How does it affect the quilt?

[@hankandmaggieroberts7177]

Hi Sheri, I've tried making the potholders and the tops look great when finished and pressed. But when I stich all the layers together the squares get warped and wonky looking. What am I doing wrong? I've tried pinning the layers or sewing without pinning. Maybe I should try only 1 layer of batting?

[@seasons0123]

How do you press them? To the side or both open? I did opposite and then open.

[@lyndavaughn1187]

Nice! Thank you🌺

[@larrymiller9435]

I love this but I have a question, when and how do I sew the binding seam together???? Not to the potholder but to the binding to make a circle Thanks for making the videos

[@Kpmomof4]

So pretty!!

[@annelefevre9457]

Will you make a tutorial on how you deem your two binding together when you come to the end of your potholder, and meet up w/ the other part of the binding. I can’t seem to make mine look nice.

[@myratheriot6613]

She shows that starting at 16 minutes in.

[@mrsgeno1]

where do you find the pre cut squares ... going to make these .. new to sewing

[@judywymore8867]

Do you have to put batting on both sides of the insulbrite?

[@sharondonelow5364]

Very nice tutorial. I think I might try skipping all the cutting off the edges and fold the back over to make the edging.

[@jefr4763]

You’re adorable 😍

[@jefr4763]

How are you?

[@shirleyburrum4818]

I just love the this! So cute and helpful! 👍🙂🙋‍♀️☕

[@jefr4763]

You’re alright 😍

[@jefr4763]

How are you?

[@nancyheneghan4760]

Never knew that batting had a right & wrong side. Thank you.

[@rizzoli1941]

I was going to get some creative grids ruler for quilting, but noticed on video here that they do move easily. On website it says they are non-skid..???Are you still answering questions?

[@audreyderby7638]

Do you put a loop on them...for hanging?

[@monaandersson3644]

Beautiful 🤩 really good tutorial!

[@danaprimavera9457]

Do you sew your bias from the front side or back?

[@mary-annz.reynolds7778]

Which fabric is that? Is it still available?

[@sherrimcconnell4094]

Yes, it's called Summer Sweet, and you can still find it in shops. I know Fat Quarter Shop has some for sure :)

[@sandrahallmark500]

Hand stitching the binding is therapeutic to me.

[@loristec3275]

No mention of seam allowance or binding width... also how do you join the binding?

[@Realitybites13]

Couldn’t you use the backing as the binding so you wouldn’t have to cut off the extra?

[@MomAsol]

Beautiful pot holder thanks

[@markwilliams1824]

Never hand seen before... do you have a tutorial on a good and easy way to sew? 🙏🏼😄👍🏼

[@immeske]

Hi, love the fabric! What is the name of the mini charm pack? thanks ! :)
