I would probably use excess wool batting from off cuts from a quilt and quilt it in a grid and then cut to size before putting together. Love your tutorials, your energy and instructions are clear and easy to follow.
I am getting ready to do this and I decided to read the comments again and I’m so glad I read yours. Because yes every time you quilt multiple layers the size always changes
Wow! I wish I had seen this tutorial before last Christmas, I made my dad pot holders without a pattern. At times I was trying to sew through 11-13 layers of fabric and Insulbrite. Didn’t even think to cut the Insulbrite half an inch smaller. Thanks Rob!
and not pot holder is complete without it. and you dont need insulbright on the pocket park, your not garbing the pan with it. i also use a more canvas or upoulstry fabric. they last way longer and thicker
Hi Rob, cute video. Love the different design you have come up with. I also make oven mitts and found insul-bright even with two layers isn't very protective. In combination with insul-bright, I use warm and natural cotton batting. Works great. A little thick but works. I'll check out your other videos as I'm always looking for new projects.
I love this potholder idea. I need to make a few for myself and for gifts. Thank you for posting it, Rob! I'm using insulbrite in some cat beds I have for 2 cats who live in our garage. I bought 2 cheap beds. I then used the insulbrite shiny side up on the beds. And then I made covers for the beds out of fleece. The fleece covers can be removed for washing. The insulbrite will help reflect heat back to the cats to keep them warm. The 2 beds are inside a house my husband made for them. It also has a small heater to keep them warm and to keep their canned food from freezing. Insulbrite is a Great product!
Best potholder tutorial EVER! I love the design of this and can't wait to get started on some! Thanks Rob!! I love all your tutorials, by the way. You have so much positive energy and always give me a smile.
I love the your videos. I made some potholders, used an old towel, 3 or 2 layers, for batting. Works fine, and I do not have to spend money on batting.
Printed directions don’t follow same procedures, but I rewatched the tutorial a few times and now have it down. Great tutorial, and the best “quick” potholder design around!!! Thanks, dude!
As always Rob, you have delivered another great tutorial! Love your energy and I have read some of the other comments. Loops would be great and yes, insulbrite needs to go a certain direction to protect the side closest to your skin! Nobody is perfect and you did a great job! Keep the Faith:)
First video to watch after having dinner with you in Houston. All our friends here are super jealous that we we were able to spend time with you. Will be making these pot holders for gifts.
Thank you for this make, including the pdf. Good idea for gifts for holidays, housewarming, and other occasions. Would like to see your Man Sewing vest up close. Believe you mentioned making a video on it a while back. Would enjoy seeing the how and why of it. Thanks in advance.
Rob, I think you should have top stitched the triangle across the wide part to keep the batting from slipping. I would do this before you baste it onto the front part. Great pattern. Thanks for sharing.
Love this tutorial! My daughter in law is a chef and my son wants me to make her an apron and pot holders. This is the best pot holder design I have seen to sew. Thank you! I know it is probably too late for this as the holiday season is upon us already, but I would love to see a tutorial on a Christmas tree skirt. Happy Thanksgiving Rob! I sure do appreciate your enthusiasm!
Thank you for the tutorial...I need to renovate the kitchen fabrics after christmas parties. Good Idea. I would like to se a rag quilt design for a man.
Speaking from experience, I believe you should sew through the edges of the insul-brite layers making sure to catch all fabric layers with the reflective layers. The reason being, when you use the finished potholder you will not burn your fingertips should they be up against the edge of your potholder. I have first hand experience on the burn issue ;-(
I thought the insulbrite was eventually sewed on during the topstitching part. Since it was only half an inch smaller than the printed fabrics, which was done in order to avoid unnecessary bulk (twice the thickness of the 3 insulbrite) on the seams.
NIce idea, but what about a small loop to put the potholder onto a hook on the wall? And I recommend prewashed fabric, because the potholders have to go to the washingmachine once and a while.
Thank you for the awesome videos. I'm making a table topper for my mom. I want her to feel secure putting a hot pot of coffee on it. I went to the warm company's website and they suggest putting a cotton batting with the insulbrite. But now I see you have put two layers of insulbrite. My question is what should I do?
Hi Mr Appell, This is a simple quick project and it's a 10! Thank You. Would You consider a video for a double handed mitt with the thumb atop one side of each of the ends?
Thank you! I thought I would check out your pot holders because no one else talked about heat and I don't want just pretty or cute. I want nice and cool. LOL.. Edit: I would round the corners on this project. The corners get stuck in the food. Insulbrite also says to add at least one layer of cotton batting.
I would round the corners also. I'm such a fanatic about the pot holder not touching the food. If it does, it has to go straight in the laundry. Also, I have small hands, and I will test one at this size. But perhaps make others smaller. I am so fussy that every day sees a clean dish cloth for use wet and a clean dish towel for drying hands. I don't allow sponges in my house. It's impossible to clean all the germs out of them.
Great tutorial Rob, I'm definitely going to make some of these for my craft fair but I don't have food type fabric, do you think it would be ok using my quilt weight cotton fabric scraps that I have. I know food material would be much better, but just financially trying to save. Thank bunches for all you do for us! 💚
Years ago I had broken my leg and a neighbor brought in a casserole with a wrap around and up over the top insulated cover for the dish. I didn't get to look it over as they took it. But have always been intrigued about this and wonder if you know what i'm talking about and can make it.
@@jodiegrace2849 so what’s with these people who ask questions and then never bother to come back and read the answers. I think half of these people don’t know how to turn on notifications
Rob, I have loved your videos for a long time but I have to ask: Why do you not use the knee lift on your machine instead of using your hands to raise the presser foot? Great project, BTW.
My insulbrite has a shiny metal side. Which way does it have to be when you line it up? And you are using two layers so I am not sure if I need to do that as well. If so which way does the shiny metal side go?
Shiny side faces what ever you are going to grab onto. So it depends on how you are going to use your pot holder. Just play with it without the fabric and you’ll see which way it gives you more protection

Nice too see a guy sewing really like the pot holder keep up the good work
I would use some regular batting as well so it can absorb moisture . Shiny side out towards the heat source on the insulbright
Glad you're using more than one layer of Insul-brite on the pot side because one layer is definitely not enough.
Thank you for showing how to layer and face the insul bright
Man that was an excellent demo of a potholder.Easy to make and useful too.Thanks !!!
A little loop at a corner may be useful too !!

THANK YOU, YOURS WERE THE FASTEST AND BEST POT HOLDER !! I WATCHED 3 OTHERS

WITH A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE AS YOURS, IT DID NOT OCCUR TO ME TO
FIND A DESIGN FOR ONE THAT IS LESS COMPLEX TO TURN. Great comment!
Use the 2 x 10 inch scrap to make loops for hanging'
Good idea!

@@amc5936 I think the reason he did it that way is because some people also will use that to put a pot on top like a trivet
OH ROB, THIS WAS A FANTASTIC PROJECT. I LOVE IT. YES, THIS IS ALL CAPS JENI. LOL
U are so smart and make sewing so easy that shows u know what u are doing l just love u
Hi Rob, cute video. Love the different design you have come up with. I also make oven mitts and found insul-bright even with two layers isn't very protective.

Love the combo trivet/pot holder. One item two uses. Excellent.
Love your pot holders. The best style I’ve come across on utube. Making soon 🌝

Mary Ellen Brennan that is a great idea!
K&H pet beds have beds that you can plug in and keep those outside cats warm if you have an electrical outlet nearby or even an extension cord

I love the your videos. I made some potholders, used an old towel, 3 or 2 layers, for batting. Works fine, and I do not have to spend money on batting.
That's what I've done! When I did get some insulbrite on sale, i still use one layer of towel with it depending on project 😁
I use old towel, also! Tip from my great-grandma.
Printed directions don’t follow same procedures, but I rewatched the tutorial a few times and now have it down. Great tutorial, and the best “quick” potholder design around!!! Thanks, dude!
Well the link doesn’t even exist now so I am going to have to write the directions down from the video
thanks so much for posting this... I'm totally going to make some matching pot holders now to go with aprons that I'm giving for Christmas
Ure precious. Thank u for sharing ur knowledge w us!
Thanks for this post.
Rob, I am new to quilting and love your videos. This is such a cute project and I will definitely give it a try! Thank you!
Hi Rob, free printable for the pot holder doesn't seem to be available any more!
I think that’s because he’s not working with Missouri star quilt anymore
Love this. Perfect for Christmas gifts
Love this quick gift. I have been making crumb locks. Have you ever made any.. they would make a great potholder
Thank you for the free printable
Thank you for sharing Rob..
Love these.. you always explain everything so well...and sometimes with a little humor 😊
I love it. I may make some to give as gifts. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Great potholder. Have seen one like it but heart shape

Love the easy sewing projects.
More easy practical projects for holiday gift giving like this one. Maybe variations on bowl holders, etc.
you could easily turn that into a football hot pad. round the two corners make some laces, do it in brown. awesome project !
Loved it - like all of Rob's videos. These would make great gifts...
The potholder was great thank you, Rob!😊 I’d like to see your spin on a bargello quilt!!!
You make it look so easy. I always love your energy and enthusiasm.
Excellent make Rob !
Rob, I think you should have top stitched the triangle across the wide part to keep the batting from slipping.
I would do this before you baste it onto the front part. Great pattern. Thanks for sharing.
I love this idea! The pig fabric is super cute:). Great last minute gift idea. TFS
I love these👍🏻
It has been suggested that if you zigzag around the edges before Turing out the pot holder the edges are more compact.
Great easy idea for gifts. Thanks for another great tutorial!
Very good tutorial, and just in time for gifts to give people for a little Thanksgiving kindness!
Great project. I am going to make some holiday hot pads this week using this idea. Perfect! Perfect gift idea as well.
Thanks Rob! Looks like a fun project.
This would make great gifts! Thanks for a super easy, fast project!
Iove your work ❤️
I love these... thanks Rob, great tut!
Someone is getting a potholder for Christmas! Thank You for the tutorial 👍🏼
Great tutorial I intended to make Christmas ones. Thanks
Thanks Rob! Love this tutorial. Gotta make some .
Loved it Christmas present I think for stocking fillers. May add a loop from off cuts
Thank you so nice I learn so much from your videos
I never thought I would want to make a potholder- but your energy is so catchy! I am thinking about what fabric c to use and who to make it for!😃
Absolutely love it !
Great gift ideas !
Great fun!
Great teaching!
So ez and cute pigs! Hehehe...😉
Great tutorials
I like to use various decorative stitch on this type of project, stitching pattern that goes with the material theme. (And add avloop for hanging)
Love your videos!
Love this tutorial! My daughter in law is a chef and my son wants me to make her an apron and pot holders. This is the best pot holder design I have seen to sew. Thank you!

Thank you for your videos! I love your energy! I’d like to see you make a Christmas stocking or a fabric wine gift bag.
Christmas presents! YAY and thanks!
Very cute
I like it very much
Awesomeness as always
Very cute!!
Very cute!!!! Nice easy quick project!!! Ty!!!!
Thank you for the tutorial...I need to renovate the kitchen fabrics after christmas parties. Good Idea. I would like to se a rag quilt design for a man.
Was just looking what to do withsome pieced blocks I had lying around!
Thank you! Great idea and I can’t wait to make some for my family.

Good tip!
good idea! how i do mine. but i do not use insulbright. i use quilt batting, cheaper and just as effective. live my granny did.
I thought the insulbrite was eventually sewed on during the topstitching part. Since it was only half an inch smaller than the printed fabrics, which was done in order to avoid unnecessary bulk (twice the thickness of the 3 insulbrite) on the seams.
Really love these, looks easy to make...
Great idea! I have some material left over from recovering my ironing board that I think will work!
I would like to see some fun placemats I can use for presents
NIce idea, but what about a small loop to put the potholder onto a hook on the wall? And I recommend prewashed fabric, because the potholders have to go to the washingmachine once and a while.
I think if you quilt the pockets and the outer fabric you probably don’t have to pre-wash
Thank you for the awesome videos. I'm making a table topper for my mom. I want her to feel secure putting a hot pot of coffee on it. I went to the warm company's website and they suggest putting a cotton batting with the insulbrite. But now I see you have put two layers of insulbrite. My question is what should I do?
that is wonderful. Please make a video about how to make a fabric wallet. Thank you
Try “ The crafty Gemini“ “ Lizzy Curtis” they both have tutorials on fabric wallets
Love this!!!
Thank you. Love this tutorial 😃
Great project - Will you be making other kitchen pieces to go with this?

Do the triangle pieces of batting have to be of insul-brite when they are on the back of the hand (it's more expensive than regular batting)?
Great video! Thought you should be aware the PDF link no longer works. 😞
can you use non-heat-reflecting cotton batting? these are super cute, and I have a lot of normal batting that I’d like to use
Thanks. Awesome ideas.👍👍👍👍
Very nice! Thank you!!
Great tutorial Rob, I'm definitely going to make some of these for my craft fair but I don't have food type fabric, do you think it would be ok using my quilt weight cotton fabric scraps that I have. I know food material would be much better, but just financially trying to save. Thank bunches for all you do for us! 💚
I think quilt weight cotton is just fine. That's what I am about to use
I would definitely use your quilt scraps. Not everyone is a fan of food fabric prints, but some are.
Wow.Great 👍

Ruth Ann Ridgeway I actually bought one from an op shop let me know if you are interested I could probably send you a photo of mine

Rob, I have loved your videos for a long time but I have to ask: Why do you not use the knee lift on your machine instead of using your hands to raise the presser foot?
Great project, BTW.
Not all machines have fancy knee lifts
Those knee lifts sure come in handy!!
When I learned to sew on our new 1960s Singer, the knee lift accelerated the sewing. I haven't been able to unlearn that 55 year old skill.
What is the purpose of the extension rod where your upper thread comes from?? And what sewing machine are you using
You use that telescoping rod so you can use larger cones of thread. You can look on Amazon for cone holders
lets see you do the microwave cozies and plate cozies and how about coffee mug cozies
My insulbrite has a shiny metal side. Which way does it have to be when you line it up? And you are using two layers so I am not sure if I need to do that as well. If so which way does the shiny metal side go?

I love potholders, so does my daughter-in-law. I make her extra large ones for Christmas every year. Such as 8X10.
Not able to download pattern. Where can I get a edge guide like you have?
Where can you get the free pattern?
My daughter can make this for Christmas thanks. Never have enough!!! Thanks
