Love your explanation of why cotton is important. When I make mine, I zig zag all 4 sides to baste the batting then do the X in the middle too. Found this to be helpful keeping all together .
Great tip! Thank you for sharing!!!
I’ve made many bowl cozies for elderly people at nursing homes. Some have problems with their hands being cold (I don’t remember the medical term) so it’s great when they have their ice cream and naturally for the microwave. 🌻
LOVE that idea!!!! How simply wonderful!
I'm the same. It's called Raynauds Syndrome. I use these for hot but way more for cold because of it. When my hands get cold my fingers turn white, purple, go numb & it's very unpleasant. It doesn't take long either, so I use these for a bowl of cereal, ice cream, whatever.
I have made the bowl cozies for presents and the feedback has all been positive. I use 100% Quilter's Cotton, Wrap-N-Zap batting, and cotton thread. I put a note with the Cozy that when washed use COLD water, NO fabric softener, and let them completely air dry. Also do not heat them in the microwave for more than 2 minutes time.
What a wonderful gift !! Great advise.
I have had them in the dryer and also microwave up to 5 minutes with no problem.

Do the bowl cozies still look really nice after drying them in the dryer? On the videos I've watched I picked those hints up a couple times about the way to dry the bowl cozies and how long to leave them in the microwave. Well, we learn something every day of our lives. Thank you!
@@anitabrantley5202wrap-N-Zap package says 2 minute limit. The Pellon company also told me to use just one layer of Wrap-N-Zap inside the cozy.
Such a darling project that is so useful! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for stopping by!
That's a pretty bowl cozy... love it!
Thank you! 😊
I made some bowl cozies last Christmas for sister-in-law and she loves them. She wants more this year.
That is awesome! They can be a struggle. However, people LOVE them!!!
Thank you for this video!! :) Like you, these are not my favorite things to make....however your video almost makes me want to make some hahahaaa!!!
You can do it! LOL!!!
Great video never made a bowl cozy before, I will have to try it
Can't wait to see yours! Enjoy!
This was a great tutorial. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Happy Bowl Cozy making to you!!! And...thank you for stopping by!
Definitely do a test run. A 10-inch square made a cozy that was too small for my bowl. I have to start with a 10-1/2 inch square. I also round my corners to make turning easier.
Thank you. Yes it is always best to do a test run. A 10” square is a great size to start with and I feel it will work for most.
What if you press the wrap and zap square before you start so its not so thick. Would that not be easier?
To be honest, I haven't tried that. So, I have no idea. If you try it, would you let us know?
I made the potatoe wrap... it works great
Awesome! Did you use the pattern on the back of the wrap-n-zap package? Just curious.
BEST VIDEO ON THESE 💕👩🏻🎨🐑🐏
Wow, thank you! I'm glad to hear that this made complete sense to you! Happy Quilting to you, and Happy Bowl Cozy making! I hope you had a very merry holiday!!!
These are essential for cancer patients dealing with heat and cold sensitivities from side effects of chemo
Thank you for sharing that❤️
Hi Angel. So I found the difference in the batting by The Warm Company. I found 100 Warm. It is different from Warm and Natural. This one is100% Cotton. Yeah. I find the Wrap and Zap just too thick. I want to thank you for the very informative video. I would of used the wrong batting. We don't have very many choices up here in the Great White North. LOL 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦 You really are an Angel!
Eventually, we will ship to the Great White North...lol...hopefully, this year! I'm humbled by your comment, and thank you for taking the time to write it! You are most welcome. We, quilting cherubs, have to stick together! I'm really happy that you were able to find the batting! I wish you a happy bowl-cozie-making few days!! XOXO, Angel
If you roll up a small piece of fabric, and put it under the back of the presser foot, just as you get to the bulky part, it will help go over the bulky part without a problem.
Great suggestion. Thank you for stopping by.
Thank you. I have watched so many tutorials. My big concern was about the wrinkling after washing. You are the only one who addressed that. Thank you so much. I was worried that they look so nice new but being cotton they will wrinkle. I did not want people to be disappointed. Also are there better quality 100 % cottons that wrinkle less than others
Terry, it isn't the quality of the cotton (per se), but that it is cotton. All cotton shrinks when washed. I will tell you that it is minimal, when I use Quilter's Dream Cotton. It has a shrinkage rate of 1-3%. You may find other cotton battings that shrink more than that. I also like to use the Quilter's Dream Cotton in the Request loft size for cozies. It is the thinnest cotton batting they have. I use the Select or Deluxe loft for other quilting projects. Also, remember that the fabric is also cotton. Therefore, it also shrinks. Yep, crinkles/wrinkles will show where the stitching is. I realize you are probably making these for Christmas gifts. However, I have my daughter coming to town and she is bring me 2 different cozies that I made and gave to her. I will be showing the what they look like now after many washes and use, on the 7 Dec chit chat live video. I hope this was helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
What works for me is I tell the recipients to wash the bowl cozies in COLD water, don't use fabric softener, then shape them and let them air dry completely. This is what I do with mine and they look good as new afterwards. Also, very important is to wash (in warm water) and iron your cotton material before you cut them out to get rid of the shrinkage.
I have some Pellon All Natural Cotton Batting. Can this go into the microwave?
Collette, I am not familiar with Pellon's Batting products. You can do 1 of 2 things. The package may tell you if it has webbing, scrim, resin or glue. All those things are not good to put into the microwave. It truly must be 100% cotton only!! Pellon makes wrap-n-zap, which is only cotton and designed for this purpose. The other thing you can do is call them and ask. Their phone number is found on their website. Hope this helps.
Tack in center and it will keep the two pieces stay together when washing and drying.
Great idea!! Thank you.
I checked your website, and it says gentle washing and low heat and wondered how it would work in the microwave?
Wonderful question! I am actually going to talk about this on the 7th of Sept for our Live Cherub Chit Chat. If you are referring to the batting, that is washing instructions, not use. For example, if you look at Pellon's Wrap-N-Zap (batting made by Pellon especially for bowl cozies and such things that go into the microwave), it does state to wash gentle and low heat dry. The most important thing with bowl cozies is that it is 100% cotton (no scrim, no resins, no glues, no poly-whichever batting you use, you have to be sure it doesn't have anything but cotton)! Just straight 100% cotton. I'm no advocating this, but my daughter just throws it in the wash (not gentle, but regular), and dries it at high heat...yeah, scary, but it works for her. It does come out puffy, and she has to reshape. But it holds together well. I like the Dream Cotton low loft batting better than the Wrap-N-Zap because it is easier to manage. Thanks again for asking! Awesome question!
What kind of seam guide is that?
Ideal Seam Guide by Sew Very Smooth. www.haloinspired.com/shop/p/ideal-seam-guide-10in?rq=Ideal I use it for anything thick or bulky (bowl cozies, binding, etc) thanks for asking!!!
That size Wrap and Zap is now 4.97 at WalMart
Good to know! I will share this information on Wednesday during the Cherub Chit Chat. Thanks for sharing!
I couldn't find it at our Wal-Mart, the quilt shop does have but 4.99 a yard, is that expensive?
@@judypeterson9952, do you have a JoAnn? They always have sales and coupons.
@@judypeterson9952Walmart carries it for $4.79, and before a sale or coupon at JoAnn is over $7.00...so, if you don't have JoAnn with a great deal, you quilt shop is great!
I let them dry on top of my dryer.
Great suggestion
I just turn a bowl upside down and put the bowl cozie over it to dry.
I also just rinse them off under the water faucet in the kitchen sink, never put them in the washing machine. 7:02
Just fold the fabric and then sew on the fold if you don’t have the tape.
Great suggestion. Thank you. Please stop by again
If u turn the darts seam in opposite directions u will have less bulk
Thank you for the tip. Have a wonderful day.
How did the batting work?
If you are talking about the request from Quilters Dream, I like it much better, and my daughter likes it better too...she is the one that uses the bowl cozies. If you use batting. make sure it has no scrim, no resin. no glue, no nothing but 100% cotton. Even though it may say cotton batting in the title, it is important to read the label to be sure nothing else is in there :)
@@HALO_Inspirations did it protect your hands from getting warm after microwave use and yes I like the idea of it being thinner, the other batting seems to be so thick! I don't have a walking foot.
@@judypeterson9952 , one the amazing parts of quilting and creating is the experiment...asking what if...yes, the Request does protect your hands...I haven't ever tested any other pure cotton batting, so I can not tell you about others...but...what if..also, the thinner batting would help if you do not have a walking foot. There are several layers in this project and the walking foot is the best tool...but again, give things a try and see if it works...we as quilters are resourceful, we figure out all kinds of things. Please let me know how things go! I'm sure all will be well!!
Why don’t you draw the lines on the batting and sew with the batting on top?
@@dottierobbins939 I'm wondering if it's because the sewing foot and the needle would sink into the batting? But it's worth a try. What I use is a sewing marker that erases when you touch water to it. That way I can draw my lines on my material.
I was going to use warm and natural. It says 100% cotton on the front of the bag but if you read the side where the material list is, it says it has12.5% polypropylene. Its kind of false advertising.
That is why we encourage quilters to read the package! Many products do that! We are so glad you did...it could have ended badly! However, there are safe products out there! Happy bowl cozy making, and thank you so much for sharing!! Hopefully, quilters will read your comment and be inspired to read the package!
if you passion is not in the craft, why should we follow? Carry on.
Thanks for watching!
I love your charisma but I could care less about your smacking your lips. I don’t understand why people think that that is something to do smacking your lips.
Lol...I've never noticed it before. I had to go back and watch it...I heard it! If that is a pet peeve, it would drive you crazy! Part of the reason is how close that older mic is...it picks up EVERYTHING. I don't do that all the time, and the new mic doesn't pick up that close annoying noises. Thanks for stopping by! Happy quilting and bowl cozy making!
I also had others watch it to listen. It is believed that it happens when I swallow. Again, that mic was way too close. Thank you again!
