Luv your detailed explanations!

[@ArtistTaraReed]

Thanks! I love all these cozies!

I found for myself that using a walking foot works great on the thicker dart areas. It might be a pain to keep changing back and forth to a regular pressor foot to the walking foot but it’s so worth it. Less wear and tear on your motor in your machine also. And less risk of the needle becoming broken. I also use a denim needle when making these cozies because they are stronger than your typical universal needle for the machine. Just some helpful TID bits I have found myself that makes it a little easier to make .

I use my walking foot all the way around - is there a reason you change your foot that I'm not understanding? Using a denim needle is a great tip - thanks!

[@jeannejohnson9302]

I was hearing on several tutorials that sewers were using their regular J foot ( that’s what my machine takes a regular foot) and using the walking foot only when it was time to sew it all together and sections were thick . I personally also just do the entire cozy in my walking foot . Even when it’s not too think it stops the batting from the machine eating it lol so to speak. For example, when I would start at the very edge to sew the criss cross, the regular foot would suck my batting into the machine, so when I switched to my walking foot, it stopped. I also make the ones that have what I call the petal edges instead of the pointed edges like this tutorial shows. I’m a vendor in several crafts shoes in the fall and I figured people may want a choice. So I make both.
But yes. The denim needle is the best one for going through these thick sections with the batting. No matter how much you iron them to be flat , it’s still thick in those dart areas. I had a friend tell me about the denim needle years ago when sewing thick fabrics. So when I started making these, I thought that the denim needle would work great and so far no breaking . It goes right through the thick places great.
Hope this all helps! Thanks for the reply and question!

@@jeannejohnson9302 Thanks so much. I use a walking foot whenever possible - it makes such a difference to keep everything moving together and not bunching. Hope your shows are a success!

[@jeannejohnson9302]

You are very welcome! Glad I could help!

All plates are different sizes, so what do you do when your plate is smaller ? Can you just give the measurement for the excess edge on the side of the plates? Sandra

I was using a pre-cut batting and don't have it to measure unfortunately.
