EASY Christmas Placemats Tutorial - From Start to Finish

[@vanessahammond5209]

You are a very good teacher. Thank you.

[@alandacraft]

Thank you very much 😃

[@kimrhodes9483]

This is absolutely the BEST tutorial I’ve seen on binding! All of it is good, but making mitered corners is tough. You make it so easy to follow!

[@alandacraft]

Thank you so much Kim 😊. I am glad you like the tutorial.

I'm not much of a pinner lol however wonder clips are amazing and they work great for holding binding 😁. The small binder clamps also work great for large quilts. My grandmother thought me how to see and I made my first quilt at 8 years old and I have been making and buying quilts ever since lol. I hand quilt all of my quilts and wonder clips are a blessing lol. Beautiful placement and I would love to have this on my table this year 😁 thank you for the tutorial and God bless

[@alandacraft]

I am so in awe of people who hand quilt. Thank you for your lovely comment Amanda.

[@MeanaBeana391]

Been quilting "forever"...but you shared two tips (re binding) that were new to me!!! THANKS ♡♡♡

[@alandacraft]

[@alandacraft]

Thank you Lori :)

[@bethglenmaddie]

Have to try these for sure! I suck at binding though, I do okay till I get to joining it all together and doing the corners. Mine always look crap! But hopefully with your tips I can make it look better! Thank you for sharing!!

[@alandacraft]

I think you will be pleasantly surprised at just how easy the binding can be Beth. Just take your time and in no time at all you will be wondering why you ever thought it was difficult.

[@agneswilton7056]

Thank you learnt some great tricks here!

[@analuciamoreno3938]

[@alandacraft]

Thank you Cee 😊

[@mardigra1916]

Excellent

[@marieacampora6605]

Thank you. Very easy to follow.

[@SEW_B]

This was a very nice tutorial. You explained it so well and the visuals were perfect. I thought you might do hand sewing for the final binding, but your 1/8 inch machine stitch looks easy to do and saves time.

[@alandacraft]

Thank you for your lovely comment, Ann. 😊 I'm not big on hand sewing and I admire people who are. It certainly gives a lovely finish to the binding. I'm all for quick and easy hence the machine finish.

[@jesspeak7543]

Great tips, lovely fabric too, thanks.

[@helenhernandez9721]

[@maggiecousineau1877]

I would have used the backing for binding the quilt, it would have saved one step.

[@Joy1957K]

Thank you 👏👏👍❤️️👍

[@alandacraft]

Decide how long and how wide you want the table runner to be. Cut your main fabric half an inch bigger that the finished size, to allow for seams. Here is a link to some of our Christmas table runners that may help www.alandacraft.com/?s=table+runners

[@elizabethastaburuaga4573]

Hola linda, saludos desde CHILE . Son tan hermosos sus trabajos, excelentes combinaciones de colores . Me encantaría saber más y conocer los detalles que ud explica, pero en Español por favor porque no entiendo nada de Inglés. Tampoco es posible subtitular al Español, podría ser posible subir sus videos con subtitulos en Español ? Sería genial para nosotras las de habla hispana. Le estaré muy agradecida por su gentil atención a mi pedido, es muy necesario. Desde CHILE para ud un afectuoso y fraternal abrazo 🤗.

[@katemorgan4346]

I love your tutorials and they are so easy to understand. Thanks so much. I have one question. What would be the finished size approximately?

[@alandacraft]

Thank you Kate. These place mats measure approx. 18" x 12".

[@luciclover9076]

Hi Alanda, how much of the flower fabric do I need to make 6 placements?

[@patwahl4008]

Not able to get to measurements and how to on your vide. Love the placements hope you can help . Thank you, Pat Wahl

[@alandacraft]

Here is a link to the website Pat, where you will find the measurements, materials required and step-by-step instructions www.alandacraft.com/2020/12/03/christmas-place-mats-tutorial/

[@elizabethastaburuaga4573]

Genial !!! Los comentarios pueden traducirse al Español maravilloso 👏. Ahora por favor, que significa WOF que indica la descripción 24 1/2 X "WOF" ? No entiendo nada de Inglés, por lo mismo pregunto. Gracias 🙂

[@alandacraft]

That is 'width of fabric' Elizabeth. Fabric generally comes folded in half so it's when you cut across the fabric from the folded edge to the selvedge edges. Eso es 'ancho de tela' Elizabeth. La tela generalmente viene doblada por la mitad, así que es cuando cortas la tela desde el borde doblado hasta los bordes del orillo.

[@elizabethastaburuaga4573]

@@alandacraft Hola estimada Alanda. Muchísimas Gracias por su gentil respuesta. Ud habla español ? Si es así, sería maravilloso que sus videos fuesen en ambos idiomas, lo cual es realmente necesario para toda persona de habla hispana que no entendemos absolutamente nada de Inglés. Dese ya, mi infinito agradecimiento por su amabilidad al responder mi pregunta. Saludos y un fraternal abrazo desde CHILE !!!

[@lutishahill1393]

Oh how sweet it is. How can I make this a runnet

[@mariefrance8132]

Love your video .. what is that tool you used to make the lines where you did your quilting?

[@alandacraft]

This is a Creative Grids Quilting ruler measuring 8.5" x 24.5 in. Here is a link to where you can purchase one on Amazon amzn.to/3SVJhNp

[@mariefrance8132]

@@alandacraft .. I’m sorry, I meant the red thing you’re using … I already have the ruler … thanks.

[@alandacraft]

That's a chalk wheel. It's really handy. They are available on Amazon, here is a link amzn.to/3y6K0mM

[@sallyrustowicz2126]

Very interested in your rolling chalk line - I didn't see it on your list of supplies - or is it not rolling?

[@alandacraft]

Yes it is a rolling chalk wheel and they are available from Amazon

[@patbridges9634]

Also, forgot to ask, are the bindings cut on the bias for these?

[@alandacraft]

No Pat. I cut my binding strips across the width of the fabric, not on the bias.

[@viddy8379]

Hi Wanda, What machine did you sew on please and thread used?. Easy to understand you. Australian like me? Thankyou

[@alandacraft]

Thank you Viddy. I have a DreamMachine 2, but these can be sewn on any home sewing machine, it's all straight stitching. I use Gutermanns Sew All thread. I'm a kiwi, Australian. Been here in Oz a long time now so the accent's a bit mixed, lol.

[@mayleahcorwin5429]
