What a great use of scraps And old towels. Anyone would love receiving these as a gift.

[@michellewelch6013]

Old towel! Genius! I mark my old towels and toss in the rag bucket. My husband uses them and washes them, and dang it those towels (with a big black x drawn on them in permanent marker!) show up in the towel cabinet. Using these for pot holders or even insulated carriers for baking dishes will solve that problem. Thank you!

[@ursulagreen8374]

Those would be great for insulated water bottle carriers. Great ideas

[@chris2008]

Nice one my nigga

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Those are the prettiest pot holder I’ve ever seen, Beth. 🥰 Chris

[@joycejudd5109]

well I am so glad I found this video!! Your voice is easily understood over the computer, your directions are shown as well as spoken - and easy to follow - and I have been binding quilts for many years, but have never mastered the "official way to put the ends together. And then in one easy video, poof!! There you have it. Thank you so much. And this video examples one of the great uses for the internet. Blessings on you. *new subscriber*

[@mariannesmith3753]

Making pot holders is such a wonderful way to practice putting binding on, I always have to practice binding , using old towels, not just for washing your car, haha, wonderful share, thank you for that!

[@juliatepe5760]

Such a cute and fun project. Yes, I may be fighting with my hubby over old towels now,, lol!

[@christywhitley6053]

It can’t be as easy as you make it look- like a champion figure skater gliding across the ice, but I’m going to try it. Thank you!

[@theresahurley5432]

Love the old towel idea!

[@galemckiddy5120]

Great idea to use your old towel!

[@veevee111]

Those potholders are beautiful. I'd love to make a couple as small placemats with matching rug mugs and a couple of coasters as well. All this will be possible because someone donated a trash bag filled with a lovely assortment of scraps. 🥰. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@smallfootprint2961]

I love that you used toweling as a wadding. So smart. The layered design is so pretty.

[@jackiewilliamson374]

I enjoy your videos. You get right to the projects without talking us to death. Great quilting and great choice of music. So relaxing thank you

[@rutheglin-pugh2320]

Butterflies your channel. Old towels are so useful.

[@leanichols6824]

These potholders are so pretty!!! Thanks to you I made a few of these for my neighbor and one for myself that I keep on the wall next to the stove. I think I'm going to make these again only next time will make them into a quilt. Thank you so much for the inspiration and idea for a pretty quilt. Watching your sewing is so relaxing.

[@lindafoster5511]

Thank you for showing us how to put the binding on the pot holder. I had never seen the method of sewing off at an angle at the corner.

[@elsie6326]

I agree and will definitely be using this method soon. 😀

[@michelleshank]

what a good idea to use up old towels

[@kjscreations3132]

What a clever idea! I just retired some old towels! I can't wait to make some pot holders! Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤

[@debbymccauley4774]

Love the idea of old towels and.recycling them into batting for pot holders. Thanks for sharing🧵🪡

[@Shade4837]

Non sapevo cosa fare dei vecchi accappatoi... Grazie per la bellissima idea! 👏👏👏

[@lisareed5669]

Your videos calm my anxiety. Thank you.

[@pattysherwood7091]

Very pretty colors . Another project I want to make.

[@robertaluckow5928]

I just found some towels in my linens that would be perfect for this. Thank you. I also struggle with binding on smaller items. Your method is great.

[@susanouellette2700]

I love that idea, a good scrap buster,😁🤗

[@virginiaabendschan2640]

I love to watch your videos because your' genuine presentations are peaceful, informative, reassuring, and they don't try to feature a dolled-up, funny, bragging quilter. Thank you for being yourself!

[@Dkaye1]

You are a gem, Beth. I learn so much from you, and I try to practice the “Beth Method” of sewing. That being, letting go of the fear that all seams and such have to be perfect. Everything you make is lovely! Thank you❣️

[@itsmelaura1533]

I love that terminology! From now on I am thinking of "Beth Method" while sewing! Thank you!

[@Dkaye1]

@@itsmelaura1533 I agree, L. Melvin, Beth gets so much done while I fret over the slightest things. I am not saying I am a person who wants everything I do to be perfect, heavens forbid, but in all the tutorials I watch, they all stress about pressing so carefully and sewing that darn 1/4” seam perfectly, while Beth is the most calm and she does things the way I think our ancestors did. I let fear get in my way. Happy sewing to you✂️

[@carmenbailey1560]

What acts fantastic way to use leftover fabrics and use worn towelling. I’m going to defiantly going to make some. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@05grandkids]

Beth, your potholders were beautiful. I am going to try this method. I learned something with your binding too. Thank you for your tutorial.

[@carolentringer8836]

Great project! Looks like fun. Love the music, too.

[@helengeach878]

What a brilliant idea! I have so many old towels hanging around, they will be very usedful now! Thank you Beth

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Hello! Another great and informative video! I'm just now getting to sit and hand quilt! I just love your joyful positive energy! I hope you have a wonderful week ahead! Thanks for sharing!

[@nancywilliams5744]

Love this. The old towel has such a good feel, better than batting.

[@lindawilson3770]

Thank you! I was looking for ideas to use all the scraps I have collected. What a great idea! Would never have thought to use an old towel for the batting.

[@psum6537]

What a great one day idea when you get the “itch to stitch” and so useful and giftable as well. Thank you!

[@h2o2drink]

Thank you! You showed me a couple of details in making binding that will help me a lot! That initial fold over at the start, then at the end where the binding fabric meets along the sides - beautiful, simple, love it! I was making it so much more complicated than that, for lack of knowing better. I’m really glad I saw your video! Thank you for sharing your know-how and your great idea for recycling worn out towels! Abundant blessings to you!

[@dianadoughty3540]

What a pretty potholder👍 who wonderful job and who can't find a pot holder in any store ax nice as yours. Great job Beth!

[@marlenethompson864]

Thanks, Beth.. appreciate the binding edge directions... Can use that technique on other things too!

[@DH-qz2so]

So cute! ... and it is not too early to start projects like this, for Christmas gifts... I find that come November... it is almost too late to begin sewing for presents! Or make a bunch...and put them aside, for last minute gifts alongside a nice homemade baked loaf of some sort...

[@leslieschmidt9765]

So cute, Beth! The fabrics are fresh and cheerful. These are something one can whip up in a very short time, and they are so useful. Thanks for the video.

[@loiseldridge5701]

Love it! This has helped improve an otherwise rotten day! Thank you 🙏 for that 😏

[@carolinadekock8612]

Wow!!! What za great idea, thank you so much for sharing, I will definately be making these to sell at the market. 💞💞💞

[@janetschram3552]

Great way to use your scraps! Thanks, love them.

[@lesleygilbert1945]

These are so pretty. I like how you just sewed and aimed for the middle - excellent :)

[@balinda9716]

The towel... such a great idea. I love the colors of you beautiful potholders. 😍

[@tracybrewer9640]

Fantastic idea to use scraps plus old towels. And I love your beautiful fabrics even if they were scraps.

[@barbarahaupt6950]

Your videos as wonderful! Quilting more and more because of you!!

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Beautiful fabric strip set for the potholders! Great idea for use of old towels for the inside. There was someone asking the other day on a Facebook sewing page about ways to use old towels, but I don't recall anyone mentioning pot holders. I have some old towels and 1 1/2" fabric strips that I'd like to use up in my scrap bin. Just might have to make some pot holders! Thanks for the idea, Beth! 🥰

[@kathrynspieker6189]

Absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your method of binding! I have struggled for YEARS trying to get that seam to lay flat! Now I can do it!!! Thanks to your sharing your expertise!

These are really pretty, and so easy to make. Can wait to try and make some. When I make quilts, I sometimes buy old blankets from the thrift store.

[@bridgetwhite5547]

Thank you Beth for a lovely project. They are so pretty. 💐

[@bettyadams1280]

I love new potholders and these are so cute and colorful. I sometimes make some out of left over blocks

[@linhdasagen6498]

Thank you for your consistent hard work to not only create but film. I watch all of them and have made several of your projects!

[@margm4]

Wow! Thanks Beth. What a great way of doing binding👍👍 💕🇦🇺

[@fransak2723]

I just whipped up three of these, quick and easy. What a great way to use up scraps. I have a collection of strip scraps that I used. I also used up some batting scraps from the longarm. I’m going to try making placemats with a center just like the potholders and some vertical strips along the sides. I also love you single layer binding, it worked out great. I added a pocket to the back of my potholders to slip your hand in. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@sabinerichert9560]

Super gut … danke. Gerne mehr. LG Sabine 🙋‍♀️👍🏻🍀🍀🍀

[@CozyHomezy]

So simple but nice sewing project!👍 Lovely quilting pot holders! Thanks for sharing how to make it!
