Let's Make a Quilted Christmas Pot Holder

[@anneburke1366]

I have looked at numerous tutorials on pot holders, with putting the binding on, yours is the best and easiest to follow, I made 4 pot holders and 2 casserole hot pad today, and the binding was perfect, Thank you so much.

[@doreenlesniak9108]

Your instructions are so clear. I appreciate that since I am teaching myself how to quilt. Thank you for sharing.

[@thegingerquilter]

I really appreciate your comment. I always hope I'm being clear, but you never really know how it comes across. 🙃

[@Dianah1952]

Very helpful. Thank you! And your fingernails and hands are very lovely.

[@lindamartin2073]

[@lindamartin2073]

Such a pleasing potholder, the small print fabrics and how you incorporated dark and light prints with the colorful prints.😊

[@anitaadams2193]

Very well explained. Thank you

[@sarahcontento9516]

Your potholder is too cute. I'm definitely going to make a set.

[@Hazel-r9p]

Love anything Christmas! Nice project to get ready for the season.

[@suzanneburns6130]

That is so nice! I have so many ideas swirling around in my head now. Thank you!! ❤😊

[@patfuller5265]

Love how clearly you explain every step in the projet❤

[@paulinechapman5669]

Using a glue stick to hold down the binding ..Works a treat..thanks for the lesson..🇨🇦

[@sandrasilvestri1418]

Love it! Nice fabic choice and placement!

[@lindasivilich528]

Love the binding techique you used.

[@chickad5820]

You did a fabulous teaching job. I think I'll add an applique design for one corner. Doing a set for all the holidays this way with holiday or novelty prints, oh yeah... You inspire me to get busy and quit just playing with scraps with my miniature stuff. Starting Christmas presents in July is perfect. Can make matching placemats and table runners to go with the potholders for the table or bar area. I could go on and on... Thank you for this motivational project. You are a fantastic teacher. Subscribed and will check out your Facebook group and your other videos. Oh and coloring books make excellent applique patterns. Just need to add your seam allowances. God Bless you and Thanks again.

I love this idea!

[@Special-T_Crafts]

Love how you did the binding. Beautiful potholder (hotpad😄)!

[@thegingerquilter]

Thanks so much!

[@sewciety5119]

Worth the wait! Thank you so much!

[@thegingerquilter]

That is such a nice thing for you to say. Yesterday was SO stressful with all the technical issues. Thank you for showing up after a long wait

[@frogget76]

Very nice. Thank you for the tutorial! Sew helpful.

[@lesa6399]

Love your potholder! You popped up as I was, literally, sitting at my machine making potholders!!! Lol I’m cutting the backing fabric so it can be used as binding - 1st time to do this! (scary)

[@thegingerquilter]

Nice! I have done the rolled backing/binding before. Don't be too scared. It's not bad

[@wayfarinstranger2444]

Love! I plan to make a larger one for my glass stove top .

[@thegingerquilter]

Smart!!

[@kimberlyriekena2755]

This turned out so cute! Can’t wait to make this.

[@thegingerquilter]

Thanks so much Kimberly! Let me know if you need any help!

[@iloveharrold]

Taking a quick photo of how you want the squares positioned often helps avoid being muddled

[@norahbamfield7510]

Good teacher,

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

I like how you ended the binding by tucking it under. Would be much handier for small projects. I just subscribed to your channel. Greetings from British Columbia, Canada. 👋😃🇨🇦

[@thegingerquilter]

Thanks for joining! I'm slowing adding more content so stay tuned. 🐌

[@earthdweller222]

Great video!!

[@narellescott1369]

To sew the button on with the machine, position the button and place a piece of clear sticky tape over the button to hold it. Using 0 stitch length, set zig zag to width of holes in button. Hand crank the first couple of stitches to make sure needle doesn’t hit the button. Use a clear plastic foot. Then do more stitches to hold it in place. Tie off threads to finish, remove tape. Done! I hope this helps.

[@thegingerquilter]

Wow, this is genius!

[@candylancaster]

That's how I do it too!

[@charlotteamodeo3031]

I can't seem to find the potholder prep guide. Your potholders are pretty.

[@weikelmd]

I LOVE YOUR SMALL PRESSING MAT!! When you have a sec, will you share where you got it please?

[@anitadesjardins9022]

Great job! Thanks

[@LynO5392]

Which friction pens do you get? I have had some issues with my recent purchases. Would love some recommendations

[@sherryedwards5978]

Love it!

[@karenhenry614]

Did you notice that your stitching lines match the lines in the candy cane stripe? Very cute!!

[@thegingerquilter]

I didn't! Haha, thanks for pointing that out!

[@michellejaggard9657]

Attaching a button: Drop the feed dogs. Position the material and button where you want it under the foot that can be used with a Zig Zag stitch. Slect a Zig Zag Stitch Work with the stitch to make it wide enough to clear both button holes by moving the wheel back and forth by hand until you have it right. Now sew it on, Clip threads after button is attached, 4 to 6 times across button. (lowering the feed dogs keeps the material and button from moving) Hope this helps. Give it a practice try once or twice and you will be an expert!

[@candygrammel8676]

Do you find that just the one of each batting inside is enough for heat not to pass through? I usually add another cotton batting layer but would love to get rid of the bulk if not necessary.

[@michellehart5919]

So cute! Thank you

[@brendak3357]

Nice beginner project/instructions. How can I find the other jingle and mingle videos?

[@thegingerquilter]

Go to the Jingle and Mingle Facebook group m.facebook.com/groups/753406699842866/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT

[@jannawhitten2473]

Lovely! Sorry, I missed the kind of batting you used.

[@donnay9953]

Looks like a layer of insulbrite and cotton batting

[@thegingerquilter]

Yep! Just cotton batting and Insulbrite

[@christinatassos8334]

Hi-I can’t find the fabric prep video either-could someone direct me? Thanks!!

[@LebecEgirlSews]

Where did you purchase your wooden buttons?

[@elizabethsmith38]

Nice.

[@bwwgwsz]

How much would these sell for?

[@sandralmoore1360]

Where is fabric prep quide?i checked under video in note section but wasnt there

[@jackiepriggins4601]

What is the sewing machine you have? I need it!! my singer is so old!

[@lindasivilich528]

Do you back stitch each square?

[@thegingerquilter]

I don't, because the seam will be crossed by an intersecting seam when it's all finished. But you certainly could! Ain't no harm in extra security

[@dorothydishman4664]

If you use a walking foot you eould eliminate the puckers and wonky lines, just a suggestion not a complaint.

[@theREmissionary]

Very nice project; I never would have thought of using a button to cover the end of the loop. It's hard to watch you push that needle without a thimble. I cannot hand sew without one; I've poked myself too many times in the past, and decided that ain't for me.
