*SELF BINDING HOTPAD. QUICK AND EASY SEWING TUTORIAL ON HOW TO SEW A HOTPAD~HOT PAD SEWING TUTORIAL

[@SimplyDelilah]

Common question I’m getting….Cut the backing 8.5” 2:18

[@christine4753]

Never sew hungry or tired. Truer words have never been spoken! Thanks for the laugh and great tutorial!

[@SimplyDelilah]

Thank you for understanding!

[@handmadeDenver]

An old towel is a brilliant idea for filler. I also find old cut up denim jeans make a great protective fabric as much as canvas.

[@louisedietz1646]

I like the concise, but thorough instruction. I was glad to see the cutting sizes stay up on the display for long enough to be copied.

[@imariser1111]

Woohoo! I just made one! I used Pellon Insul Fleece only because I had it on hand. I only buy it when Joann runs all interfacing 50% off. TIP- if you use this, make sure to make your sandwich like this: Place one panel on table shiny side down, add your inner layer, then next shiny side up, then your backing fabric right side up and your top panel right side down. This will ensure the heat gets reflected towards source. This was so much faster than the binding ones! Thanks again Delilah!! ❤

[@SimplyDelilah]

I'm glad you loved it and thank you for sharing the tip!

[@CarolCurler]

I LOVE the way you teach!!!! It feels like you're a friend, sitting right here sewing with me!!!

[@SimplyDelilah]

thank you, i'm glad you feel that way!

[@theresaohalloranjohnson84]

I love these! I’m due for new hot pads, can’t wait to try these

[@mariannemay4760]

Clever turn technique. Thanks for the video

[@debradavis3756]

Love these! Going to make a couple today 😀 I love the labels too, going to make those as well! I love your videos and watch a lot of them…. Hope you have a great day, and just want you to know I appreciate your time

[@SimplyDelilah]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that!

[@ladida550]

Absolutely LOVE this tutorial and the potholder! Very concise and easy to follow, I’m going to use this potholder to start teaching a friend how to sew. Thank you for posting it!

[@SimplyDelilah]

thank you! glad you appreciate the video!

[@kristieprice8842]

Thank you! Yes. The added labels really elevate the finished make.

[@SimplyDelilah]

thank you!

[@cutflower36]

i went to JuJu's and got that font, it stitch out so clean. i had to make me some labels like yours. So cute. thanks for the idea

[@SimplyDelilah]

@@cutflower36 you’re welcome. Her fonts are flawless.

[@lindab2144]

Very cute..I love the way you left the opening on the front. Thanks for sharing.

[@SimplyDelilah]

Thank you! 😊

[@tlsnana9539]

This technique is wonderful! I’d like to try it w/ self quilted mug rugs. Thank you muchly.

[@SimplyDelilah]

You are so welcome! I'm worrking on the tags tutorial now

[@MarciaSauro-z7q]

Thank you so much. I was struggling making pot holders and was unsatisfied with closing the opening on the edge with all that bulk. Your video with the opening in a seam on the top was very helpful. I made one. It was quick and came out great!

[@SimplyDelilah]

@@MarciaSauro-z7q yes 🙌 thank you for the feed back!

[@donnam7075]

Your tags make me laugh! Thank you for your tutorials! You make boring projects into fun ones that I would love make/give/receive!!

[@SimplyDelilah]

yes! That is my plan all along! glad you like it!

[@BethTrombly]

Ha! I love this because I’m terrified of bindings! Thank you❤

[@SimplyDelilah]

You're so welcome!

[@janadpews]

I’m curious to try this method, hopefully I’ll have time tomorrow! Also, you did not go too fast!

[@SimplyDelilah]

thank you! I love these hotpads!

[@eshannon922]

It was hard to grasp the opening but I think I got it and will try. I like the concept of not having to do a traditional binding. Great job.

[@SimplyDelilah]

@@eshannon922 thank you!

[@JudithBrummett]

I love this! I am certain my grand daughter (11yo) will be able to do this as well.

[@SimplyDelilah]

Oh That makes me so happy! My 8 year old can sew too!

You are so welcome! Hope you enjoy them!

[@pamelaleitman9305]

Love it! Please show how to make the labels! Also can you make one with a place inside to put your hand when using not to burn it?

[@jhjln8712]

I do like your method! Saving this video to come back to later.

Great directions, thanks.

[@SimplyDelilah]

Thank you! ive had a lot of mixed opinions on this one!

[@conniel.4601]

@@SimplyDelilahYour video is fine. Not every video has to be for an absolute beginner. I can’t believe people complain about the littlest things.

[@kristieprice8842]

This style of hot pad is very cute. Thank you for sharing. Do you have a video tutorial of how you embroider your sewing project labels? Do you use cotton fabric for your labels?

[@SimplyDelilah]

Hi, I just used white quilters cotton fabric and ironed on stabilizer to the back of the fabric to give it some stiffness. I’ll have to do a tutorial on it because it’s such a neat little detail.

[@imariser1111]

I love this method of binding! Thank you! This was a great tutorial! Can’t believe the negative comments! 😞

[@SimplyDelilah]

Thank you! its such a timesaver!

I love the printed tags. I would love to know where they can be purchased. Thanks

[@lw984]

I believe she said that she embroidered them herself. You can also make your own if your machine stitches out fonts or use printable fabric sheets and just print them out. You can write any fun thing you want and also make them very personalized. Have fun!

[@YAHUshaMeansYAHUAHisSalvation]

GREAT JOB🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This is a game changer!!!!!! I always struggle with how to finish the edges of mine. But I LOVE the idea of having that seam on the front! Thank you!!!!!

[@SimplyDelilah]

I’m glad you like it! I know I hated trying to leave the opening on the edge then trying to close it up!

Lovely, I'll attempt making this soon. Also going to check out the binding method since I've recently made folded star potholders and looking for a tut on binding those. Thank you for sharing your adventures in the sewing room! Merry Christmas and God Bless.

yes, its so fast

[@jeffvinson7511]

For gifts you could embroidery ion the hot pot holder and a kitchen towel put a piece trim of the pot holder and the same embroidery and give as a set gift that will look so pretty, you are a very created person. I do enjoy seen you’re KZbin’s videos . Good luck Carmen from Florida.

[@SimplyDelilah]

[@mrshansonian]

I have been sewing for at least 65 years and I have a couple of suggestions. First of all, I would like to say how much I enjoy your manner, your voice and your expertise, however, please accept these suggestions with love and grace. It would be wonderful if you could possibly re-do this video and next time slow down when you are sewing the strips along side the 7 inch piece of fabric and explain what you are doing. Secondly, it was not clear how big to cut the backing, toweling and warm and natural. Also, when you are putting the opening on the front, it would be nice to explain more about that. I hope you are not offended by my suggestions, but after reading all of the comments, I do think that most people who saw this video would agree that it is a wonderful potholder but needs some explanation here and there. I will continue to watch your videos and I hope that you are able to re-do it as it is one of the best ideas I have seen. God Bless.

[@SimplyDelilah]

@@mrshansonian thank you! No I don’t ever get offended with suggestions and some of the comments I think were made out of frustration…I’ve been thinking about doing another video about it because I also love the idea! And yes it’s one I thought of all on my own 😊 super quick fast project for the holidays! Thanks for your feedback.

[@mrshansonian]

Thank you so much Delilah. I am looking forward to seeing whatever you do and especially this one! Happy Sewing. Nancy H

This is a wonderful video!!! Something I can do with my granddaughter to start teaching her how to sew…Question, do you have videos on how you make your labels like the Lets Eat, Tacos etc. What kind of machine do you have for that? Love those personal touches..

[@SimplyDelilah]

[@lindaellis6644]

What size seam allowance did you use to sew on the strips to the sides?

[@SimplyDelilah]

1/4" or 5/8" would work...just pick a seam allowance and stick with that one..

[@kathyomero9711]

Hi! I'm going to try some of these. Looks pretty easy. Can you tell me what the approximate tension your using for your hot pads. Thanks

[@melk1870]

I’m excited to make these, thank you so much for the video! I do have one question, if the center top piece is 7x7, why are the border pieces different sizes? Thank you Delilah!

Lovely! Do you prewash the canvas? I know it can shrink up a bit. Also, do you have a tutorial on how you make those darling labels? I have an embroidery machine too! Thank you, and Happy New Year!

[@SimplyDelilah]

ive had so many requests for those labels I will for sure make a video...I don't prewash any of it..that way after the wash it will all shrink together because sometimes I mix my quilters cotton with the canvas.

[@thekirksiffs5285]

Thank you! I look forward to the label tutorial. It adds such a cute design element to the project.@@SimplyDelilah
