String Block Quilted Potholder Tutorial

[@jeanwhiting9500]

I'm so glad you showed how to bury the loop. Thank you.

[@paulinechapman5669]

Such a relief to not have to watch you sew on every strip..or chat unnecessarily..beautiful products..so informative..🇨🇦

[@sueblanke1646]

I found your video while searching on the net, and I'm so happy that I did. I have a cognitive impairment due to a fall. Your calm, pleasant directions help me alot. Thank you. 😊

[@lindarodgers1401]

One of the best tutorials I've ever seen 👏 😍 THANK YOU!!!

[@donnaf2666]

Love the video! I reduce the pressure regulator and lengthen the stitch. Most bubbles can be worked out with your finger as you are stitching. No walking foot. Also i stitch in the ditch to reinforce all the seams for string quilts. Love the curved edges. I may do that on all my quilts!

[@taniswilliams6167]

I made a string potholder from your video. Thank you so much for your tutorials. Love them and your blog!

[@michellebohn2434]

I love the strip pot holders. Love them and the bias binding that match. Sherry, you explain your instructions so well. Thank you for your tutorials. I love them so much!

[@shirleyvanwieren]

I made your patchwork potholders and love them and they look so professional with the rounded edges. Really enjoy all your videos. Thank you!

[@teresamonday81]

I love this. Not boring repetitive. Thank you.

[@Haberdasherheather]

I've been making pot holders and heart shapes and giving them as gifts and selling them I was really pleased with your explanation of how you layer your batting and your insulbright I have had so many questions about that so thank you great tutorial

[@deborahburlingame1141]

I just finished four of the patchwork potholders. Love ‘em. Thanks for the great pattern and tutorial.

[@lysettemorgan7563]

I love the Christmas one's.

[@mrhotrod1950]

I'm a complete newcomer to sewing. I came to it because I needed some new potholders. In my ignorance I bound mine quite differently. It worked but I couldn't fathom out written instructions about the mitreing involved in going round the corners and now, having watched your tutorial I know what to do in future. Thank-you.

[@littlequiltsong9576]

Love your pot holder tutorials - and the added tab you do on them. Both look so pretty - the patchwork and strings pot holders.

[@rosepetalstitches]

Thanks Sherri. A lovely alternative using a string block. Also lovely seeing you at the sewing machine. Would love more of this. 💜💜💜

I love watching your pot holders videos

[@sharireveal8549]

You have me cutting all my scraps into strips. I gave a them as a gift. Thanks

[@tammy1190]

fun useable project , I just made one...... I will be making more. Love the oval verses square Thank You!

[@C12133]

Thank you, Sherri! You are a great teacher along with being a wonderful quilter!! I’m loving all of these ideas for gifts especially this time of year!!😍

[@karlabrown5256]

Great tutorial! I make my potholders the same way - I do add a pocket on the back, I tend to like the “oven mitt” potholder.

[@carolg.6838]

Yes they are so such pretty fabrics and well made. The addition of a pocket is a smart idea.

[@aliceolivares-chawk8307]

Just a tip I use: When you fold your pot holder, use a wonder clip or two opposite of where you are finishing your binding, that holds it in place for you so you won't have to fight with it.

[@Lindseyzackman]

Thanks for the great tutorial! I love that you showed yourself sewing, that’s where I need tips the most👍🏻

[@jiffer240]

I love your tutorials and always stop by to see what you are doing when Im on my computer

[@monaanz6754]

I've made string pieced hot pads as bridal shower gifts after finding out what the bride's kitchen colors are and their favorite motif. Such as earth tones with fall leaves motif. Also I sew the strings directly on the backing and batting "sandwich" so it's pieced and quilted at once. Then it's cut to correct size and bound! Try it!

[@patriciamcgarr3183]

I agree. You can sew them on top batting piece also then quilt in the ditch

[@judyannyelton3906]

Can't wait to try these. Thanks for another great tutorial Sherri.

[@colleenyork8588]

I made some patchwork potholders so I will have to do some of these! Thank you!

[@DucksandStitches]

Awesome! Thanks bunches. I got a scrap bag with the same Christmas fabric, so now I need to make potholders ❤️

[@denisepineda1788]

I love both kinds of pot holders. Thanks for the video!!

[@Moni221960]

Always love your tutorials, from your No. 1 fan from Australia...…….. Monica

[@julxie-quitting6741]

Great tutorial - thanks for showing all of the steps!

[@patriciaitalia]

I like the idea of using a piece of muslin to keep things straight. Thank you.

[@lanastewart7310]

Thank you for this tutorial ! I am ready to make some last minute gifts!❤️

[@CGee17]

Thank you Sherri - I'm always so excited when I see another tutorial is available! I too liked seeing the sewing process.

[@sharleenbrett265]

Love your tutorials! Thanks so much for all the great ideas! But I’m wondering . . .When quilting these potholders, why not stitch in the ditch?

[@rosemariegreenland106]

Thank you for sharing! Your hair and makeup looks lovely!

[@denenesands8890]

Where did you get your large cutting Matt?

[@lizpelletier7785]

Thank you for the great tutorial. You make it look so easy🧵

[@kathiefleming2830]

Thanks for your contribution Very nicely done

[@sheadorris]

These are so cute!

[@annierubyslipperz589]

I use the circle savvy ruler for curved corners, especially on my quilts and I don’t use bias bindings. I make sure the curve is very gentle, not too much arc 😊

[@SharonCarbine]

Excellent. Thank you, Sherri!

[@anmlvr05]

LOVE your tutorials !! By the way you're hair is looking amazing !!

[@margm4]

That’s so pretty...great idea. Xx

[@LQ327]

I love your new hair do it looks so nice!!

[@bobbiek2960]

I’m definitely making these for gifts. My problem is, I’m not good at matching fabrics.

[@susandenton2132]

On either pot holder, I realize you need cotton batting. But what do you use-- as in what brand. Type?

[@shellietowne5644]

Watching you, making it look so easy. Like the string pot holder. And what sewing machine do you use ???

[@debbiestowe3308]

Enjoyed the ideas!

[@mariscott2883]

Great tutorial! Learned a lot!

[@lindaskinner5887]

Thank you for sharing.

[@flutterbear2174]

Im learning so much from you. Ty. WHAT KIND OF BATTING DO YOU USE?

[@noreenoliver3079]

What size binding are you using for the potholders?

[@Lavender0646]

So you use 3 layers of the Insul-bright?

[@teresamurray9012]

What sewing machine are you using for this project? It has a cute decal on the end... 😊

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

When you get at the end could you just turn your pad around on itself i stead of cutting thread each time, just wondering? Newbie here.

[@lindabridges445]

What size needle are you using? This is all very thick.

[@phylham1565]

Love your video. When attaching the binding you said you overlap about two inches. How did you decide on that number?

[@dcdavid25]

Thanks for sharing. Do you have a Juki? And what type of sewing table do you have? Thanks

[@dianebaker5221]

If we aren't a fan of crinkly InsulBrite, what do you suggest instead? Or does InsulBrite quiet down over time? Are 3 batting layers enough? I'm not sure my machine will go through more than that.

[@wyomaclouss1354]

Why do you piece onto a piece of muslin or fabric? Could you piece on to one of the pieces of batting? Or is it too hard to press????

[@thearb2003]

put the background on before you start.... saves time

[@marilynporemba6188]

I am new to quilting so what type of muslin fabric do you suggest?

[@robbiereed2175]

What kind of batting do you use?

[@lindaswanson7485]

great teaching

[@Lori-hc2bg]

I have pot holder material that is silverish on one side and plain on the other. Do I need to use two pieces on the pit holder with shiny side out?

[@ReefMimic]

So I can’t use just the insul-bright as the matting?

[@debbieirving2658]

How do you attach the muslin

[@lisalove9637]

What sewing machine and sewing table are you using? I would love to have one. It is not listed on your Amazon list.

[@denisecooper731]

Very cute idea.

[@clombard7134]

Thanks for this tutorial!

[@debrasaldana2134]

What is the size for the smaller one?

[@bethdeck9825]

You’re the best. Thanks so much,!

[@rosaliecovello441]

No clipping corners?

[@rebeccadees2300]

Can you use the QAYG method?

[@ElanorCastagna-pv1ff]

Enjoyed

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

Where is the pattern so we can download it please?

[@sunflowergamesworld2817]

beautiful

[@judyflook7136]

I have tried to print the instructions you have in pdf. Can not print. Downloaded Google Docs to do it, still can not print. Why?

[@judyflook7136]

Fixed it. I had to install Google drive and Google docs to get the pdf to print. 😊

[@KumaSews]

Thank you!!!

[@sherrillyoung5890]

Thank you.

[@morganwalker2098]

Isn't it super stiff? I've seen people do 2 layers, but not 3.

[@Prettyjunk1]

I do mine with 3 layers..I feel 2 layers isn’t enough to keep the heat out

[@kirana51]

Seeew cute :-) thank you!

[@pattyborden5003]

Step by step tutorials are nice but not if you have to go to another video to see what you're talking about. Do it all in one.

[@WaterfallFW]

😊

[@valerielivecchia8700]

I would like you to actually sew the pieces on the sewing machine on camera. It’s would be helpful for a beginner quilter.
