[@hafsafossie7074]

I’ve watch different ways to make oven mitts and I have to say, your method is the best tutorial straight to the point.

[@delorespierce9920]

Dana is magical. She makes believe that I can sew.

[@MADEEveryday]

hahaha. Thanks Delores! 🥰 You CAN! 😄

[@phxgidget]

I love everything about Dana ❤ I've been watching her for about 7 years! You're my "go to" for sewing & I've made some of your recipes 😋

[@MADEEveryday]

Thanks for watching over the years! Y'all make me excited to make more videos! Have a great day :) - Dana

[@pattyaap7345]

best video tutorial for oven mitts! whether we're doing them for business or gifts, it is important to be efficient in the process. Thanks for sharing!

[@lisasorensen2305]

Love your pattern and methods I did make 2 alterations to the process. 1. After I quilted up the fabric and traced the pattern, I stitched just inside the marks to keep the perimeter of the quilt fabric together. 2. The other thing was after I trimmed all the seams very small, I overlooked the edges all around. Makes much neater inside.

[@Cecibug1]

Thank you for the wonderful pattern! My daughter was gifted a sewing machine and im so excited to teach her. She loves baking so this will be perfect!

[@MADEEveryday]

Ooooo how exciting! A sewing machine! What a fun new adventure for the two of you together. Enjoy! - Dana

You are always so upbeat. You had me at “not a fan of the crinkly stuff”. Thanks for the tip on alternative batting. Love your use of the bias tape for the loop. Can’t wait to make

I just got a Brilliant a few weeks ago, I never knew a machine could be so great. I have had machines that were "heavy duty", and they don't go through the layers like my Brilliant. Great video, going to give this a try.

[@jamiereyes1797]

Love the idea and helpful video!! I learn better from watching. You actually got me into sewing and buying my babylock only "knowing" you. One question with the added note of adding batting. Where would i put that in the quilt sandwich?? Thanks again for all the projects!!

[@MADEEveryday]

hahah. Thanks for watching! Add the quilt batting somewhere in the middle. I would do lining fabric, quilt batting, silver heat fabric, outer fabric. Hope that helps! :) - Dana

[@ChristineDixon-tv7jx]

Great tutorial. And fun, too! Thanks!

[@pavlal.4552]

Fun fabrics, thank you ❤

[@n3rdygrl]

These are cute! I'd also recommend using cotton thread so theres no chance of the thread melting.

[@MADEEveryday]

Good recommendation. Thanks!

OK - not quite a Christmas Stocking but I'll forgive you. Thank you so much for doing these videos. Love from the UK. 🇬🇧

[@jblake335]

Good Morning Dana, you have inspired me - thank you. Now I want to watch all your videos. Please post a link to the ironing board quilting fabric you used. Thanks and Happy Holidays.

[@MADEEveryday]

Awesome! I'm glad you're excited to sew! Yes, the fabric I used is from Joann Fabrics, but you can use something similar from other shops. Here's what I used: www.joann.com/quilted-ironing-board-cover-fabric/5987888.html

[@knittysong]

Would you want to use a walking foot for all those layers or does it come out even without it? I have a Brother machine that is the same as your Babylock!

[@heypatk]

I use basting spray to keep my layers from shifting

[@blancadavis4814]

Hi. I love your work. What kind of tread did you used? Please and thank you.

[@LynBell]

Thanks for the video. Do you think an old towel would work ok for the lining? I don't want to throw the towels away!

[@fabyvargas4736]

Should I pre wash the ironing fabric?

[@MADEEveryday]

Yes. You can prewash fabric. Sorry I forget to mention that at times in my videos! If you're going to do that, I would pre-wash/dry ALL the layers you plan to use, so they all "preshrink" :)

[@colettevalentine9912]

Love that ❤

[@earthdweller222]

Excellent video! What size of needle did you use and what type of sewing foot? Thanks!

[@maxi4505]

Hi Dana, I was looking for oven mitts on you tube and I found your video and I would like to sew it.I have a question :When stitching all fabrics together , do you use over lock machine so the fabric won't fray?

[@terriledford2832]

Love this! Do you prewash your fabrics?

[@zipppyzipppy4795]

Try using a walking foot for all those layers. Makes it easy.

[@jenb9274]

Could you sew the bias tape on the fabric before it is finished?

[@MADEEveryday]

Yes, you can definitely do that....there are multiple ways to sew attach the bias tape. I thought this would be the easiest method, with the most polished finish. But another way is to sew one of the "side seams" of the oven mitt first , then sew the bias tape to the entire bottom of the two pieces, then sew the rest of the oven mitt together, sewing the other "side seam". The only negative to that is that the side seam is a bit exposed at the opening of the oven mitt. That's why I prefer sewing the bias tape at the end...so it nicely binds the seams inside. Hopefully that makes sense! But just experiment and you'll find which method you like best.

[@pamstrong8709]

Thank you for the cute pattern. I have seen several patterns online and they all seem to have the same problem...the thumb is too short, which makes it difficult to grip a hot pan securely, because you can't bend your thumb. I apologize if this is a silly question but, how can your pattern be adjusted so folks with long fingers get a proper fit in the thumb area?

[@MADEEveryday]

Oh good! I'm you like the pattern. You can definitely adjust longer for different needs! I would draw the line of the thumb area out about a 1/2 inch or longer on the paper after you print it. This might take a little trial and error, trying it a few times to get it where you'd like for yourself. But I think that's a fun adventure :) Something to keep in mind is that the "finished" thumb will be longer than how it looks on the pattern piece, since you're sewing into the fabric with your seam allowance. Hopefully that makes sense! Have fun sewing! - Dana

[@lifelivedfrugally]

One more question, should we wash the fabric before quilting it together? Thanks.

[@MADEEveryday]

Yes. You can prewash fabric. Sorry I forget to mention that at times in my videos! If you're going to do that, I would pre-wash/dry ALL the layers you plan to use, so they all "preshrink" :)

[@beckyfeldt95]

What if I messed up and cut the shapes before quilting???

[@marooqi]

If this is for a man’s use should I make it bigger all the way around? Would I just add like 1.5 inches around the border? How thick batting do you use? And what fabric is the outer and lining made of? Thank you for your wonderful videos and help.

[@MADEEveryday]

I had my husband try these out and they worked for him too! But if you're worried about that, yes, you can add an extra 1/2 inch all the way around on the pattern. It might take a little trial and error, like it did for me trying out all those versions :)

[@ashleywalker2611]

The blog post and this video really need to say that you need extra wide double fold bias tape… I just bought regular double fold bias tape and what you have is definitely the wider version.

[@MADEEveryday]

Sorry about that. Yes, I will include that information! That’s typically the kind that I use and talk about that in my bias tape video. But I will remember to specify that! I appreciate the input.

[@ashleywalker2611]

@@MADEEveryday I was able to go back and exchange, so I have the right kind now! PS. Your zipper pouch tutorial taught me how to sew zippers!

[@MADEEveryday]

@@ashleywalker2611 Oh good! Sorry about that! I just added that detail into the video and tutorial. Also, when you print the pattern (if you printed before tonight at 11pm, go back and grab the updated version), I added a note on there that you can add an additional layer of quilt batting in your oven mitt, in the "quilt sandwich". This is optional, and will make it slightly more bulky to sew...but you might like that ample heat protection. Either way is fine, just wanted to add that tid bit in there! :)

[@gerriebell2128]

@@MADEEverydaythank you for this! I happened to find an oven mitt that was small and fit my hand (I have small hands), and traced around it for a pattern. But the area between thumb and fingers wasn’t so good. I’m sure yours will work really well.

[@dsego1183]

Oh Dana 🤣 Q. I see a lot of sewists trim around the curves of a project with regular scissors 🤔I was just wondering why nobody suggests pinking sheers 🤔 is it or, does it just depend on the thickness, type of fabric, personal preference ??? 🤷🏻‍♀️just curious because or, what is the purpose pinking sheers?

[@MADEEveryday]

Hi! That's a great question...yes, you can definitely use pinking shears. And you're right, that is the concept---to trim around with scissors that cut in a zigzag pattern so the fabric edges are less likely to fray over time. So yes, in theory, it's all yes. hahah. But in reality, I hate using them. There. I said it! They're hard to cut with, hard to cut through all those layers. And I don't find that my fabric edges fray very much anyway (even when I make clothing, like shorts, skirts, etc). But you should give them a try and see how you like them! It's all just personal preference. I hope that answers your question! Thanks for watching and chiming in :) Dana
