I love the sound of a vintage sewing machine. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial
I lost my mom 4 years ago. I have just recently started sewing and dabbling in quilting. She made these in the early 80's. I was to busy being a teenager to pay attention. I dreamed about these last night and called my dad trying to remember what they were called. He and my bother tracked one of her creations down and that led me to your channel and this tutorial. Thank you so so much. Means more to me than I can put into words.
I have watched you sew quite a lot and I have heard you say many times I don't have an iron. Man how can you sew and do the beautiful crafts you do without an iron.. You can get an iron at a second hand store and you would never go back to working without one. It helps make things with a neat look and it makes it so easy. Fo yourself a favor and get you one.....YOU'LL LOVE IT.
Dude, you are awesome to watch! No nonsense, no frills, no wasted moves, truly simple! Thank you for taking the time to show how it should really be done, Love it!!!
Love this tutorial! It's so refreshing to see one that doesn't advertise products. It shows you can make things like our grandparents did. This pattern is simple and elegant. Now I am looking around for coordinating fabric to make one of these!
Easy to follow instructions. Nice to see a video without blaring music and fancy machines and still informative.
Oh my goodness, this way is so much easier than gluing it all down. Thank You for this method, and thank you for sharing your video with all of us. ❤️
Only 18.37 minutes to teach this very simple technique which has been around for years. Excellent!
How refreshing someone got down to business instead of 6-7 minutes of advertising and long winded explanations I'm sure are for beginners. This is the tute I'll be following. Thank you.
Very nice potholders! I found this video today, ten years after you posted it. Hope you have invested in an iron by now. It really does help with sewing!
I've watched several tutorials to make these, but yours is the one I keep going back to. I've shared it with friends too. So easy to understand! I love your easy-going way of talking
That was so clear and easy to follow! Made me think that even I could do it!!! Thank you.
Thank you very much for your excellent instructions. You made this project look so easy. I shall refer to it often.
My favorite part, aside from you being a natural teacher, is that you show how this can be done without any fancy equipment - thank you!!
It's the best
Ppplpp)
Minus the antique sewing machine which is probably worth a bomb?! But yes, I know what you mean... just simple material and very little fuss... my kind of craft.
I love this guy! I've been taught the "proper" techniques for years... and your tutorials are still my favorite.
Thank you so much. You make this project so easy to follow. ❤
superb technique.. thank you
Thank you! I made these back in the 80s in Home economics class....I lost the pattern and the process in the years since. This was a great tutorial to refresh my memory!
I like your site because It really shows how to make this star
I learned to do this 40 years ago by folding squares in half, sewing them onto my foundation, and then folding the ends in as a triangle. So much easier than your quilting lines! Your finishing tips are great, though. Thanks for the video and reminding me of a great old pattern!
Thank you for this video. I used to make Amish star wallhangings that were put in a large wooden hoop. I remember exactly how they were made marking a lining like this at 3/4" intervals. I was recently searching for a how-to video on making hotpads and they all came up with you having to buy this and having to buy that. I used to make them with a pencil and a matchbook cover that had a 3/4" mark on it. Your video is just what I was looking for. Thank you for not leading me to a website and trying to sell me $20 worth of things that aren't necessary to make a hot pad.
I watched one of these the other day and decided no way. This I can do. Thank you!
great explanation of how to make these. Thank you!
Best video I’ve seen for making this, and providing measurements. Thank you so much!
I am so happy I read this review. I never knew what the show more or show less meant! I'd play & replay to write down all he was saying. So blonde moment for me. I Love it. He explained so well. And most of all he continued working while he was talking. Too many people stop what they're doing & start using hand gestures while talking. Extends length of video average 3-5 minutes.
Loved this. Can't wait to try it. Going to start with my holiday fabric👍
Some church ladies made these decades ago. Thanks for bringing them back to my memory. This will be a future project.
What a beautiful sound that old machine makes!.....and very even stitches too!! Love this tutorial-many thanks!
without an iron this beautiful potholder turned out so nice & I love the purple one too; If I make it I will use it as Amish home decor in the living room & it will surely catch anyone's eyes!
patience is all you need for this beautiful work.. Thanks
totally regretting i didnt take that old machine a lady tried to give me. Your tutorial is excellent. I think its sad fewer children have the patience to sit through this. Would be great to teach my daughter but NOT the Girl scout group! You even took the time to write out the dimensions! thanks a heap. Never knew how these were put together.
I just finished mine . using your video
Very helpful and much easier than buying the pre printed interfacing and ruler! Very nice instructions
Thanks for taking the time to make this potholder tutorial. I will make one to show my 9 year old granddaughter. Then, together we will watch your easy to follow instructions and then sew away! Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you so much for simplifying this pattern so we don't have to continue to buy stencils along with a pattern...hahaha! This is a simple pattern and you showed how to make it quickly and cheaply so everyone can afford to make it. Great idea for gift giving year-round but especially for the Holidays! You are a wonderful instructor...keep it up!
I watched you video again more closely and you explained that you quilt from one side to the other in a straight line. I'm halfway through about three of these for Christmas presents and I'm really enjoying it. I worked on these at a relaxed quilt retreat (where everyone works on their own project) and everyone loved them. When asked how to make them II sent them all to your video. Thanks again!
this is a great tutorial...and you don't have to buy the many products that others say you "need"... thanks
These pot holders are too beautiful to use! Thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much. You are a great teacher. Sewing, cooking, you do It all. I bet you are a great carpenter, too!
Very well done instructions. Thank you
Imagine my surprise when I searched out the “How to” for the Amish Star and heard your voice! Your other channel for cooking is my Go-To for whatever you’re teaching and now I have the confidence to get this star made into pillows for redecorating my bedroom. As usual your teaching style is clear, complete and easy to follow! Thx again. 🤗😀
Love this tutorial and love your machine
Thank you so much for sharing your easy to follow instructions for making this lovely potholder.
Thank you for such a good video. I always wanted to learn how to do this and your instructions are easy follow. I love the fact you aren't trying to sell us something as well. I cannot imagine anyone giving you a thumbs down. They must be trollers who have a lot of ignorance in their empty lives. I hope you ignore them and continue to do these great tutorials. Thanks!
Awesome, you are a great teacher.
You are an excellent instructor. I love this technique no purchase necessary. Awesome. Thank you for sharing and I love it!
Excellent video of instruction. Very easy to follow--not too much talking about nothing--just what was relevant to the project--thank you.
Wonderful, instructional tutorial. No extra items required. This was great! The guy ought to buy an iron!
One of the best videos on this ❤
Well done. Very good results. Thank you.
Those are beautiful. I’ll have to add this to my long list of “must do” fun crafts. Thanks for the excellent demonstration.
Excellent teaching 👏👏👏👏
very petty and you are a good teacher.
You are such a good instructor. Bet if you taught at one of the local shops they would pay you with an iron! Thanks for doing this video. The Singer you have is one I learned to sew on. It was my grandmother's.
Awesome !!! so much more straight forward than anyone else on these YT clips for sewing and I have to add: no $12,000 sewing machine makes it even more enjoyable :)
Love the vintage Singer.
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial! Beautiful! I have the same machine!
I love your sewing machine 😂👍
Excellent tutorial
I'm going to give this a try with some true scraps first... then I want to make sets of ones for each holiday as gifts... wish me luck!
You can do it!!!
Easier method than I was using before. Thank you.
I think I still like this method the best. Not trying to sell you a "kit" with a piece of fabric to follow....when the folding is all you need! I do feel the need for an iron though, and also if the pieces are pressed you can use a glue to do the initial fastening and save some time. Thanks!
Thank thank you simplistic at its best no bs 😊
I bought a finished potholder like this at a thrift store, once,,,and was so wondering how it was done. Now....I know...lol....thank you...love your tutorials!
Awesome! I found these same potholders at a thrift store for 50 cents each! I bought an arm full of them and gave them as Christmas gifts to family! They were beautiful! Now I see all the work involved in making them, I want to make some for myself, .thanks for showing me how?
Well explained. This is the only video I found that is this detailed. Thank you
Very pretty! 😍 Thank you for sharing. 😊🍁🍂🍃🍊
I like this very much! Its so nice to see someone that does patchwork as in the older days.Used what you had!
I was looking all over and you have the best tutorial I have found exact and precise thank you I am so excited to be making one of these this afternoon :-)
Very nice little CHRISTMAS house guest gift.
Great instructions! Thank you!
This has always seemed to difficult to make but thanks to you, I am going to do it today. Thanks a lot. Really pretty.
I am drooling over that amazing sewing machine
Made it today. Very pleased. Thanks again.
You rock dude! Great tutorial! I recommend investing in an iron. Believe me, it'll change your crafting and sewing life. You don't need a $200 Olisio or Rowenta - my $20 Black & Decker from Wal-Mart has served me just fine!
I LOVE that Vintage sewing machine!!!! WOW
These look much easier than I had anticipated by looking at the picture of them. Thank you for the clear instructions! I may be making a few for Christmas presents this year!
I agree, very clear and step by step! thanks
thank you so much I was using Plum Easy tutorial, but you make it so much easier
Thank you for showing this method. I love your sewing machine she just runs like a deer !
Great video tutorial. There are many ways of doing this same project, but I prefer most of your suggestions. However, the purchase of an iron is a wonderful thing!
That's really nice! And man is that a old sewing machine. My Grandma had a old Singer treadle machine. It was black lacquer with gold leafing on it.
Wow! I have seen these before and had no idea how they made them and you made it look so easy to do.I will be trying to make some of these for gifts as soon as I can get to the fabric store.....Thanks!
Very very nice job and beautiful outcome
Fabulous!i can’t wait to try this!
Very good tutorial! Thank you!
These are absolutely beautiful. I have to make one. I was going to buy a kit on Amazon.com for a round folded star hot pad by Plum Easy. Now that I've seen your video, I won't bother about purchasing the kit. I can save my money and make this on my own with your video and step-by-step clear instructions. Thanks for taking the time to make this wonderful video tutorial. I hope that you will make more videos!
Very pretty!
Great instructions. I have always wanted to make these. I think I will be able to do it now. Thank you
Thank you so very much for the clear instructions. They worked very well for me.
He’s using a treadle machine just like my mother’s! Can’t beat them for straight stitching.
OMG! U are awesome to share how to make Amish potholder, I had always wondered how its done, and now I get it!👍😙💜💙✌
This was awesome. I've been looking for instructions on how to create for years. My sister-in-law made these back in the 80's and I never got one, so I'm determined to learn and make my own. Nice job with the instructions.
This is one of the best videos for the folded star hotpad that I have seen. Thank you for it!
Great tutorial!
So beautiful
Enjoyed watching this tutorial. I always wondered how these were made. Thank you!
Nicely done! Thanks for the great tutorial.....I don't know how you can get by without an iron!
Super nice project and instructions! I think I'll be using this pattern over the summer to make gifts. Holiday time comes around fast.
I love your old machine. They make the best straight seams and are so reliable.
Hello there, what a lovely straight forward tutorial, with lots of tips and advice. The color scheme is also very visual. I will be watching it again and making some up. Thanks again Bridget
