The fabric horders need to help supply the sewers!! :)

To calculate the amount needed for binding, you can't multiply width x height. That gives you square inches of the project, or 117", which is much more than needed. You should ADD width + height then multiply by 2. Example, a 9x13" pad is: 9+13 = 22 x 2 = 44". Add additional to accommodate corners and tails to join. Use chalk instead of tape to mark lines.

I had to laugh when you said you get stingy with favorite fabrics! I’m so bad, I don’t even want to use them, I just like to look at them- sad, I know. Excellent tutorial!

Collecting fabric and sewing are two different hobbies :D

I have been making these for 10 hrs. My adult daughters and friends love them. I love to make useful items with lots of color and I use fat quarters or bits and pieces left over from past projects. Your viewers will love this presentation

For a few years I’ve wanted to make one the depth of the countertop and about as long as the serving area is. It would stop the chase for potholders and trivets , but also would catch spills that leave a mess.

Thanks so much, I’m a “book-taught’ quilter since 1997. At this stage due to health issues I’ve gone from Queen sized quilts to potholders and small projects for the home, mostly pot holders, and still love to learn new techniques . ❤😂I love, love the soft voice, and full explanation of each step ( the back strip, and the zig zagging the edges of the binding which I had never tried)! Now I have a new channel added to the top list of my favorites!

This is the greatest tutorial.!!!!!! I have learned so much today. I am 66 years old. I have sewn since I was 13, and have always wondered what a walking foot was. (It sits in a container with all of the other non-used attachments to my machine.) After watching this video and seeing what magic it does, I pulled mine out, read my owner's manual and properly attached it!!!! Oh my. A lot of my sewing fears disappeared in moments once I started sewing with it. Thank you so much for talking about the waking foot and getting me motivated. NEXT, I love, love your tape idea. I too have had problems with washable markers not washing out. This is brilliant and it worked 100%. Lastly, you have taken me head over heels with your binding technique. I'll take on the binding task tomorrow as I'm running out of time today. Thank you @Pin, Cut, Sew for teaching me so much with your wonderful tutorial. You are so kind to share your talents. I'm indebted.

I've been quilting for years and never heard about the zig zag before flipping the binding! Great idea! Thank you!

Wonderful pattern for a large hot pad for a casserole dish. The detailed method of sewing a border is greatly appreciated as I have trouble with binding! Thank you!

The sound of good scissors cutting into fabric.

When a piece of fabric is just almost the right size, i use the backing as a binding by cutting it 1" larger after trimming the batting away. I turn it over itself ½ inch and then fold it over the edge of the project. Mitered corners are simple. Top stitch close to the edge on the right side

I have been quilting for forty years and your trick on finishing the binding did it for me. That little tuck is perfection. I always spend so much time trying to get the binding right . . soooo frustrating. No longer! TYVM!

I came to see how the binding was done on a smaller project. I bought a corner clipper ruler for quilts and love it for bigger ones. This is going to be a great way for the potholders I like to make too.

Very nicely done. The video was very informative and had directions that would be easy enough for a beginner to follow. This would be a great gift idea if you gave a 9" by 13" pan and the hot pad with it too. I would be nice if you also included a 9" by 13" dinner recipe that you're known for making too.

No you’re not! I think of making something but, oh, I don’t want to use this fabric and oh golly, not that one either! I’m easing into quilting…made a “two-patch” 😁last night. I bought some fat quarters that I thought I could use painlessly to actually practice four-patches and so on. I cut one up for that purpose and then decided that I’m not wasting the others on something I can’t do well. If I could afford it, I’d be buying fabric until I wouldn’t know where to put it, and that I could barely bear to cut into! Back in the seventies there was a bumper sticker that said, Whoever has the most fabric wins. That made me feel a lot better! Come to think of it, now you know you are among millions of other fabric lovers!

Thank you for this. My Mom had purchased 2 slightly oversized pads, "cotton" on one side and the heat resistant metallic fabric on the other. I had used the several times, but on one occasion needed to take an iron skillet I was preheating off of the eye. Sat it on the "metallic" side. Moments later sat it back on the eye, but the fake "metallic fabric had melted to the pan bottom and I briefly touched the fake "cotton" side to the eye. Both sides and the batting were polyester! Spent hours scraping the skillet bottom and the stove top clean with a razor blade. When you make them yourself, you know you're not getting a fake fire hazard!

Tucking the binding into itself is a brilliant idea! How many hours I have tried to master connecting the two end pieces! My brain goes on vacation mid project sometimes. I always wanted to tuck it in somehow, but couldn’t figure out how to do it without bulk. I almost decided to stop making baby quilts because of the frustration. I am back in the baby quilt game now!

This year for Thanksgiving at my Mom's we had to find all of hers and my sister's that lives beside her to be able to have pads for all the food we had but I think we had to use some dish clothes for some of the dishes. Big family so we had alot of food. Thanks for sharing. Will be making some of these.

My hot pad gifts were a hit. Thank you. For the first pad I followed your quilting instructions sewing half in one direction and the other half in the other direction but as you said it ends up wonky. So when quilting my second pad I alternated quilting/sewing each row. The end result was much less wonkyness.

I love this project and I’m going to make some for Christmas presents…I got your printable pattern, which is great. Thank you…🌸

I love these! You're right, I am always lining up hot pads for my 9x13 pans so these are perfect.

The best tutorial! You are so precise & detailed! A great tutorial for beginners & seasoned sew’ers (as a refresher). Thanks so much for taking the time to make this tutorial & pattern.

I came across your video by chance. So glad I did. Just an awesome video. I have been sewing and quilting for years and I have never seen the way you attach the binding by folding it inside the other end. absolutely. Brilliant.

These are a great idea and very good for using scraps from favorite fabrics. I have always alternated the stitching direction in each row to reduce distortion because I had used that technique in clothing construction where having no distortion is critical. I really like how you show using the the clips on the binding to produce a wonderful finish. I can see a few gifts coming off my machine this fall. There are a number of dishes that people often use and would be of a standard size so it's then just a matter of discovering which one they use to put on the table. Maybe even have a few on hand for last minute gifts.
