As a newbie to quilting I appreciate your way of sincerely sharing the correct way of doing piecing but also not afraid of sharing some of oh no moments. You are an awesome person.
Such an inspiration!!! Your finished pot holders look absolutely perfect! I love that you have the patience to rip out places that don't please you, then do it over again with success!!!
You could use a glue stick on the fabric, then press with a iron and you will have no slipping. Absolutely love the detail of the potholders, no wonder you love them. Thanks for a great tutorial.🇨🇦
Hi love that you included the problems with the edge and how you fixed it. I am new to sewing and all such tips are welcome as I forsee to run into lots of problems. And now I feel that I can try to make one after having watched your video. ☺️
I really like your videos I like your soft voice, it's easy to listen to, I also like the way you describe everything. I also like when you discuss any issues you have, it helps to know I'm not the only one. Thank you very much
I loved the way you taught this. It's just my pase. I also liked the way you attached your ends. It takes the stress out of the possible pucker in the other method. Thank you!
Looks daunting but I layed out several rows from the middle out and then sewed them into squares and then connected the squares. Was hard to machine quilt a quilt that large though.
I love the red pot holders you made (my favorite color), like you, I have a neighbor/friend who likes purple, so I might have to make her some purple pot holders. thank You for Sharing your Time, and your Talent with all of us.
I have trouble with log cabin piecing as well. Cheat sheet helps. A product sold at fat quarter shop, alpha bitties helps to mark pieces or small lettered stickers too. Love this video
I think that those potholders are adorably beautiful and I can see them in a farm theme fabric. On the ones that I make, however, I think I will leave a bit of extra on the back piece to foldover for the binding when I am finished rather than trying to cut and attach a whole separate piece. Well done though, well done!
They really are very easy and fun to make. I know they have a lot of steps and may look tedious to some people when I could just buy a cheap potholder at a store but they are fun to make. I enjoy coming up with the different color combinations but a scrappy one would be adorable also. I want to make a lap or baby quilt using this technique so be looking for that video in the near future. I have the fabric, I just need to find the time to do it!
I can only say, the potholders/coasters are soooo pretty. I hope to be able to do some like the the log cabin ones. Thank u and more powe to you, from Manila, Philippines.
The "Bulk" and I have had a few run-ins, too. I hate to admit it, but, on a really stubborn corner, I've used a dot of fabric glue and pin it or set something heavy on it until it dries. Then I can sew it without using any "special words". You have bunnies in your backyard? I'm so jealous. I get pigeons.
Yes, I think I tried to film them once for a video but they weren’t cooperating or the dog scared them off. They are wild in the Southwest so I have a few living in my backyard. They torment the dogs and the dogs torment them.
Some of them had loops on them but I didn’t feel like I did it efficiently and I don’t use them so I’m not doing it that way anymore. I’d love to hear how you do it.
How come each pieces seams to be "fluffy" after that you quilted?? Did you take a smaller stitches size?? Or …?? You are more than a good teacher: relaxed, we have time to following how to do . Thanks a lot!
I was using what I had and had purchased it years ago so not really sure. I went to Hobby Lobby to see if I could find anything close to it. I found a polyester quilting fleece that looked about the same but what I had was a little thicker. On the insul-brite instructions for an oven mitt it says to use “warm and natural” cotton batting along with the insul-brite.
The first ones I made had a loop but they were a pain in the neck to me. I started the binding at the edge but left it unsewn for about two inches. Then started sewing and going around the potholder as in the video. At the end I sewed off the edge continuing to sew just on binding for about five inches. Then tuck the binding into the unsewn hole that is at the beginning of the sewn binding. Sew over the top to secure the loop and hole. It will be thick. Maybe you can think of a better way.
What a wonderful project! Thank you for this! I’m an old sewing person, but don’t make quilts. Perhaps one day! Question for this and probably ridiculously picky…would it be a tiny bit better if the whole potholder & outside strips were 1/4” wider to accommodate the binding? Am I right that the outside strips are a tiny bit narrower than the others?
Could your pucker problem have come from the two different seam allowances? You said you used a 1/2 seam allowance on the first and then a 1/4 seam allowance on the others. Also could you trim the corners points like one does many other times on square or rectangular objects?
Good video. I thought the binding wud b put on top side first? so the top looks neater? as stitches will be on underside? They look great tho! Rachel from UK x
I’ve done it both ways Rachel but sometimes when I do the front first then my stitching shows through on the quilting part. When I do the back first if my stitching doesn’t stay on the binding it’s the same color as the back fabric so for me that works better.
Look up Jenny Doane’s Missouri Star Quilt tutorial on binding quilts. She explains it better. I go 1/4” from the end of the corner, put my needle down and pivot the fabric to go diagonally off if the edge. Clip the thread. Then I fold the binding fabric with a fold at the top end, place the needle 1/4” from the top and continue sewing to the next corner. Makes nice mitered corners when done.
The light on your machine is too bright. All I can see when you are sewing is the back side of the presser foot. It's like there is a light pointed at the camera. Love the things you are making .
So sorry but thanks for the feedback. I think it’s because the sound of the music goes down automatically when I do a voiceover, then it resumes. That video was one of the first I did using voiceovers and I honestly didn’t think that it would be annoying to anyone when I was editing it. I have another video using this technique you may want to try. I’ll put the link below if you do. And if you just don’t like my video style turn the audio off and I think with the text on that one you’ll still get the jist of it. ruclips.net/video/ezhjLJNP8Kg/видео.html
@@Marla.22 There isn't any music to the holiday edition past about 10 seconds in. I remade the video for people who disliked the music on the first video.
Your audio is very much off. It was so loud at the beginning and then your voice is barely audible so I turned it up then the music comes on so loud. Omg. Then I turned it down and I could barely hear what you’re saying. Then rinse and repeat. It was very hard to watch without volume control in my hand. Please improve your audio quality. I liked your instructions though. It was just very hard to watch due to volume inconsistencies throughout the video.
Thank you for your input. That video was one of my first using voice overs and I learned from that not to use as much music because the sound fluctuations with voiceovers is annoying to some people. I also have turned the music volume down in my videos now. I was also using an older device back then. I've since filmed another log cabin potholder video because of the sound problems but I still wish to keep this one up on RUclips as it's done well even with its flaws and honestly I get many more positive comments than negative or constructive criticism. I'm learning every day and I'm creating, sewing, cooking, filming, editing on my phone camera all on my own without previous audio/video/photography experience. It's not in the budget yet to buy a real camera.

I just subbed to her channel because I feel the very same way! ❤️
Tutorial was easy to understand and provided good instructions for a beginning quilter. I learned by seeing your work and listening to you.

great job..I always end up hand sewing the final turn. You gave me confidence to try and machine sew. TY

This is just so cute! I'll have to buy some fabric to make mine so I can have something special for my own kitchen.

I am a newby quilter and this potholder looks very professional and polished. Most potholders in quilting look a little wonky. Thank you!
Thank you
Great work 👏👏👏your way of teaching makes it look easy
Thanks 😉
You did a super job!
I live in Utah. We have some great quilt shops. Nice work!!
Thanks so much for this! Wonderful job!
Beautiful Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you and your family 😍
yes i liked this pot holder i,m going to make alot for xmas

Just saw this. Wish it had a loop but I’ll figure it out. Going to cut up a lot for sewing later; great idea.
Some of them had loops on them but I didn’t feel like I did it efficiently and I don’t use them so I’m not doing it that way anymore. I’d love to hear how you do it.
I made a mistake on the measurement for centering the first squares. So be sure to read the description box. 3-1/4”
thank you so much. You an excellent teacher!
Awe don't apologize for a chainsaw sound in the background. The awesome and wish I was closer to the woods🥰 and not the city😫
I will try these for sure!
I’d love to see a picture of the finished project!
Very nice. Will try
lovely idea
That’s so neat I love that...
very nice n butiful

I think just from the batting and insul-bright.
It’s funny: because your big dog is barking, my little one don’t understand that’s in the video and she’s responding to your dog!!
Love those rainbow ones. However they are all lovely. What’s your favourite batting for these?

Warm and Natural is best batting ever .....
don’t use polyester.
Very cute! How can i put a loop in one corner to hang up on wall? I think it is made of binding?
The first ones I made had a loop but they were a pain in the neck to me. I started the binding at the edge but left it unsewn for about two inches. Then started sewing and going around the potholder as in the video. At the end I sewed off the edge continuing to sew just on binding for about five inches.

I didn’t understand how you sewed the corners of your binding. Looks like you sewed off the edge on a diagonal. Very confusing.

I’d like the dimensions of pieces
It's in the description box.
It would be helpful to list all the cuts you made.

The volume keeps going up and down. Gave up after awhile. Will try this pattern from somewhere else.

can do without that loud music

Picked out the stitching??? Lady - its a POTHOLDER!
This is why she teaches and we learn. Pointing out how something can be done better and then showing the correction puts her at the head of the class.
