DIY Extra Large Hot Pad - How to Make join and do corners of Binding on a small Quilt

[@mamakovi4309]

That is by far the best method of binding I have ever seen in 60 years of sewing. Kudos to you! I’m definitely using your method from now on. Who says you can’t teach an old “dog” new tricks. Thanks so much.

[@NotchesSewing]

Thank you! Every day is a learning day I say 😊

[@5kidsmyhusbandandme]

Right?! I saw that & I was like WHAT?! 😍❤️

[@emilasmith4279]

I’m with you on this one! Love this method!!! I’ve been sewing for over 50 years and have learned so many things from her! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤

[@berniecelee5062]

The BEST teacher !! So clear , full of explanation so we better understand why we do it , efficient, so no wasting time on back tacking that yields no value . … the list goes on … fantastic video 👍👍👍. Love your choice of towels 💕. This is on my list to make next year for Christmas and house warming gifts. Great that’s it is wide enough to place two casserole dishes. Very good practical gift that every home will find useful. I have to be one year ahead for Christmas gifts else I will never get it all done in time for current year. Big extended family. This is another big winner for me … I have to shop tea towels all year … when I see nice ones, just buy them up. Hehehe.

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks again Berniece! You are a fantastic supporter😊. What have you made this year for gifts?

[@berniecelee5062]

@@NotchesSewing l made many of your kitchen BOA, some more asked for hanging kitchen towels. They made their way to the USA cause my aunt came in Oct to visit .So I gave her and her daughter a set of two each . Early Christmas gift so I don’t have to ship it. She gave one to her daughter in law and I said no , please take it back, I will make a set for her. So I made and sent via another visitor to take back. Made eco paper towels with no paper…hahaha, used printed flannel and microfibre cloth so they can stop using paper towels to wipe counters. Eco fold up grocery bags as grocery stores no longer sell plastic grocery bags. By 2024 all single use plastic can no longer be import or sold. That includes takeout utensils. That’s on my list to make for 2023, a fold up holder with sections for real knife, fork, spoon so they pack it in their work bag and use when they buy food in food courts or if they pack their lunch. This includes school kids using reusable utensils. I have been so busy and I broke my sewing machine. It was a work horse in 2022. Now, I am making baby gifts as the storks are on a busy schedule for Spring 2023! So happy to hear more babies are coming…😊 ( not for my family …not yet I was told …so I showed my DIL my HUGE collection of baby fabrics …please don’t make me wait tooooo long because I bought special ones for you ). She laughs and said OK 😉 will work on that in 2023.

[@NotchesSewing]

Sounds like you deserve a new machine!!😊

I always hated sewing bias tape, but your method/instructions make it look easy so I'm willing to give it another try on these hot pads. Thank you for another wonderful project!

Just cut up some scrap to have a practice run. I think you’ll like this method.

Totally agree😊

That’s so nice of you! I have so many ideas etc to share but so little time…………. (that day job gets in the way lol!)

Guess I have to make one of these for my daughter this is wonderful

[@NotchesSewing]

Thank you😊

[@bevcote2357]

Poof blew my mind. Fantastic project! Now I know what to do with all those tea towels people have given me that I’ve never used. Blessings.

[@NotchesSewing]

🤣Now you don’t have to regift them! You could also make coasters from them as well. Thanks for watching!

[@lisaboutin5556]

Love this! I have tea towels received as gifts, but use terry towels daily. Now, I won’t have to re-gift all those fun tea towels!

[@NotchesSewing]

Those fun tea towels are great but make sure not to put in dryer when pre washing. Some of them fade a lot…. Have fun!

[@rubychurch3466]

Again Angela, I love your tutorials and could listen to you all day. Thank you

[@NotchesSewing]

Thank you so much!

[@apiecemaker1163]

I call these counter quilts. I’ve made them for my hot canning jars when they come out of the canner. I’ve never used tea towels though. Just always used quilters cotton and two layers of cotton batting. OMGoodness using tea towels is a great idea! And there are so many pretty ones out there. The absorption will be better also. Thank you! Definitely getting some to make more Christmas gifts. Also loved your tips on binding. That will be very helpful as that’s always my hardest step.

[@NotchesSewing]

That’s a great name for them! Thanks for tip about canning jars. Yes there are so many cute tea towel designs out there. My advice is do not put in dryer when pre washing as some prints fade a lot in streaks. Just line dry before making. Thanks for watching🙏😊

[@apiecemaker1163]

@@NotchesSewing great tip. I definitely would have dried them. Thanks. Have a great night.👩‍🌾♥️🪡🧵

[@NotchesSewing]

I actually had big bold xmas prints to use in this video but the fading was not nice after putting in the dryer. Of course ok if just using at home and you don’t mind a little bit of a weathered look…😊

Use fabric or tea towels to make an extra large hot pad for hot casserole dishes etc. Great as gifts or product to sell. What do you use as a hot pad? 😊

[@dccd673]

Should the batting be washed first too? What will happen after they are washed again? I’m a new sewer and made a circle one and a rectangular one where I included another layer of something that is heat resistant on one side (sorry, I don’t even know what it’s called). But when I washed the circle one, it became an oval lol. What did I do wrong? I did wash the fabric first.

[@NotchesSewing]

I generally do not wash the batting. Make sure to wash in cold and do not use the dryer…

[@vickialmond7910]

Très beau travail

[@NotchesSewing]

Merci beaucoup!

[@auntdee9678]

Thank you! Every time I use Insulbright and batting, my pad gets all distorted, mostly on the backing side. Even when I use basting spray. I’ll try this method without Insulbright. But it’s worse when I use the self-binding method where the backing is used as the binding. So frustrating!!!

[@NotchesSewing]

Let me know how you go😊. Thanks for watching!

[@bettyw.6402]

Can I use bath towels for the cotton batting? I have several bath towels I am no longer using.

[@NotchesSewing]

I don’t see why not. Just layer together to see if you like the way it feels and looks before cutting out all the fabric.

[@pollyb4770]

A very well done tutorial. Thank you! What presser foot are you using?

[@NotchesSewing]

Thank you. It’s the J foot that come with the machine. 😊

[@wendydix5534]

❤

[@BellaCov]

Or if you really hate using binding tape - Cut the bottom layer of fabric larger and use the excess to bind over to the top layer .

[@NotchesSewing]

Thanks that is another good method ( will have another tutorial on that) but I wanted this to have the trim on both sides. Thanks for watching. Cheers😊.
