https://www.brigantesenglishwalks.com/00sr2jus Every year, I post something holiday gift related. This year, I have another fun and easy handmade gift idea for you: quilted potholders! I have made quite a few of these for friends, family, craft sales and myself. I have a very well-loved (i.e. a little food stained) potholder in my kitchen that I use everyday, so these potholders are pretty and functional!
go to sitego site These potholders are quilted, have a pocket and loop and are finished with binding. Since the way I do the binding is best explained visually, I’ve included a couple of videos for this tutorial. Part 1 shows how I do the quilting and has tips for marking lines, using a walker foot and more. Part 2 shows how to do the binding and has tips for binding the pocket, attaching the loop, getting the nice mitered edges and pinning.

https://alldayelectrician.com/98xesh6 These are my first video attempts and I would love to say that these were “quick little videos”, but that wouldn’t be true at all. This is all new to me, so there has definitely been a learning curve. Like I always say, if you wait for everything to be perfect, nothing will ever get done. So I am putting these out there, knowing that I will improve as I do it. You have to do something to get good at it! I already have so many ideas for the how I want to do things differently next time (like show my face). 😉
https://www.yolascafe.com/4vnhauv I hope you all enjoy these and can learn from them. If you make a potholder from this tutorial I would love to see it. In the meantime, have a Happy Holiday everyone!
