Hi again! I simply want to tell you that I have just finished 6 scalloped placemats and your tutorial was more than helpful and as I love the result, I’ll be making more, that’s for sure. I got some “Ho! Ha!” from people who saw them and that’s always rewarding. Have a great day! 😎🌺
We're happy you enjoy this delightful project. Thanks for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
I have this pattern and made some up for Christmas last year. loved them! I'm going to just use cotton batting this time and quilt them for my summer placemats.
We're glad you enjoy this fun project!! Thank you for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Thank you so much for the youtube.It was explained beautifully. I have the pattern&nowI will go and make them.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!! -Michelle
Nice. Great for Christmas also. Thanks. Ann from Va.
They sure are!! We're glad you enjoy this tutorial. Thanks for watching!! 🎄🎅-Michelle
I ordered 2 of these kits and I believe this is the most beautiful fabric I have ever worked with. The tutorial is absolutely wonderful....thanks for taking the time so I can have these wonderful placemats on my table.
We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the kits and that the tutorial was helpful! :) We agree, it's absolutely beautiful fabric!! We'd love to see pictures of your finished placemats if you have them and want to share! :) - Morgan
Wonderful tutorial. It helped get me interested in making these. Very clear directions. Thank you for doing this
So glad you found it helpful, thank you so much for watching! - Morgan
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and giving us the link to find the tools to complete the projects.
Thank you so much for watching! We're so glad you liked the video and found it helpful, and we're always happy to recommend products we actually use and love. - Morgan
Love these placemats and the pre-scalloped bosal forms make it that much easier
Aren't they cute?! We love those pre-scalloped bosal forms! You're right that they make the project so much easier (and quicker)! Thank you for watching! - Morgan
So glad you are back making projects.
Thank you! We're so glad you like these projects with Jen!
That bag is soooo cute! I hope you'll be doing a video on the bag! ❤🌅🌵
So glad you like it! And that adorable clutch just tops it off! Thank you so much for watching Suzi! XO, Jen
So glad you like it! I'll pass this along and see if we can make a video.
I’m so glad you do these tutorials! I would be intimidate to buy all the supplies for this project without the tutorial! And I don’t find them sales pitchy as someone else said. A person doesn’t need everything mentioned but if a person didn’t see you use the appliqué mat for example you might be disappointed you didn’t order one!
Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a comment. I truly appreciate your support. I too find myself intimidated with new notions until someone shows we how to use them. It's so true that a picture is worth 1000 words! Thanks again, XO Jen
Do you have a tutorial for the bag and clutch? I just ordered Moda's Summer Breeze fabric and thought it would make a pretty tote.
That collection would look stunning in a tote! While we do not have a tutorial for the bag and clutch, we do still have the pattern available here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/p67397/scalloped-bags-pattern Thanks for watching! 💖 -Michelle
Love these placemats and the fabric you chose!
Thank you so much! We're so glad you like them. Thank you for watching and commenting! - Morgan
Nicely made tutorial! The camera work was great also. The scalloped edges add a little something extra on the placemats - not your everyday rectangular placemats, making for a very interesting tutorial. Thanks, Jenn!
The scalloped edges are so fun! Thank you for watching, Dori! - Sophie
Thanks so much for this. I'm making these placemats and this was super helpful!
So glad you found this helpful! Thank you for watching! - Morgan
Beautiful…thank you so much ❣️
We're glad you enjoy this project! Thanks for watching! -Michelle
Wow cool. I love this. Thank you much.
I'm glad you like it! - Yajaira
With the dark green border, this fabric almost looks Christmas-y!
It really does! You probably could make it work for both summer and Christmas! Thanks for watching.
Hi ! The placemats are so beautiful and as usual, you are so well prepared . Thank you very much! 😎🌸
Thank you for those kind comments! :) These are such fun placemats to make, we hope you give them a try! - Morgan
See are so beautiful! Thank you 😃
Glad you like them! - Yajaira
Great Idea, especially for Christmas!
These would make great gifts, too! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching Maddie! :)
I made it now with my material (this about the complaints about commercial), just to try it and as it is a birthay gift for my brother who maybe doesn't like scallops. So I made straight seams and used a quite heavy cotton fabric as backing, no batting or anything like that. I could send you a picture, if you like. It is an easy looking project, but it isn't easy. Just to mention that. It is neccessary to work quite accurate. The framed pattern looks beautiful - not important if scallops outside or flowers or apples inside.
We're so glad you made this project. We like to encourage people to make, and we offer kits for people who want to make exactly what we did, and suggest the notions that we use that are helpful to us, but we want our viewers to just have a good time and make something beautiful. That's why we just focus on making quality videos and teaching proper techniques. We appreciate you watching and we would love to see photos if you have them!
Precioso, excelente
Gracias - Yajaira
Love these! I really want to make some but using different fabric, however I can't find the pattern by itself. It seems like the only way to get the pattern is to buy the full kit?
Thank you so much for watching and for asking this question! We do offer just the pattern on our site! You can find it here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Scalloped-Placemats-Pattern-P67396.aspx

Good job
Thank you! We're happy you enjoyed this project! -Michelle
Nice tutorial, the placemats are very pretty ~ that would be a fun project. Would it be preferred to prewash the fabrics with the shrinkage factor especially since bosal is shrink free? I wonder how flat the mats would lay otherwise. What are your thoughts on that?
We've found that we don't typically have to prewash fabrics that are high-quality, and we didn't in this case. You can definitely do that if you'd like if you're worried about the fabrics shrinking. We haven't done it so we can't say for sure whether it would affect the mat flatness or not. Those are great questions, thank you for watching and asking!
After you trimmed the backing fabric around the scallop, did you stitch it in down?
Yes we did! - Morgan
Do you recommend pre washing for these projects?
That is definitely a personal preference. We do not tend to wash our fabrics prior to project creation, but we will use a light spray starch product, such as "Magic Sizing". Hope this makes sense! 💖 -Michelle
I was unable to see where you sewed the scallops. Was the pressure foot on the bosul with the needle actually sewing next to the bosul? If so, I’m going to try that with the scalloped purse kit I just purchased from you. I love the bosul product but it does make the seams bulky when sewn in the seam allowance. This method eliminates the issue. Thank you
Thank you for watching! When we sew the scallops, we actually sew next to the bosal, not through it. We found that using a zipper-foot help us get right there close to the bosal. Hope that helps, and we hope you have a good time making these! - Morgan
Gorgeous hope this product will be available in Australia.
We do ship internationally if they don't have it there for you. ;) - Morgan
Очень шикарно!!!
Thank you! Merry Christmas! 🎄~Leah
When I pinned the border strip set together to the back rectangle I had to stitch 1/8 inch around instead of the 1/4 inch. I unfortunately found out there was not enough room to sew inside the lines. Even that little bit made a big difference. I should have made a trial first before cutting into my beautiful fabric. The other ones came out very pretty. I love them.
So sorry that happened to your first one, Maryann. But glad to hear that the others turned out beautifully. Let me know if theres a specific project or tutorial you'd like to see. - Morgan
Shabby Fabrics thank you for responding. The only problem was that the fabric store that I bought my fabric from has no more and doesn’t expect any in.. now I have only 3 placemats. 😥
Oh no! What collection did you use? We might be able to help you find it. - Morgan
Shabby Fabrics ... I will check to find out but will be out of town for a few days so will get back to you when I get back. I know it was a line from Moda but will get back to you. Thanks a lot!
I found the name. It is the Moda Fabric, Vintage Holiday by Bonnie and Camille . I only need 2 fat quarters of the front and back fabric, 1/2 yard of the border and 1/3 yard of the striped accent. If you send me your email I can send you a picture of the ones I have done. Thank you.
Have you made the bag or clutch? I need some help with the instructions.
We did make the scalloped bag and clutch! How can we help you? - Morgan
Did you create a video?
Gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing xxx
Thank you for watching! We're so glad you like it!
Do you have a tutorial for the bag? It looks so pretty!
We didn't do a tutorial for that one, but there's a great pattern that is helpful! You can find it here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Scalloped-Bags-Pattern-P67397.aspx
- Morgan
I have a bunch of fat quarters. How many fat quarters would I need to make 4 color placemats?
The finished placemats are 12" x 18" so you'll likely want at least 4 fat quarters. - Morgan
Class.
Thank you for sharing! - Sophie

Soooo beautiful 😊 Always love your tutorials... Thank You for Sharing. .. Had to make 10 little girl dresses a few weeks ago. Used your Friction Pen, wonderful, hardly any pins, the pen did most of the work. Love Love it 😊
So glad you like it, and thank you so much for watching! We're so happy the Frixion pen worked well for you - we love ours and use them daily. What a fun undertaking - 10 little girl dresses?! Amazing! Was it for a special occasion?
@@ShabbyFabrics Belong to a Ladies Church Group. Sent the dresses to the little girls in Africa. Now I am going to try my hand at Sani-Pads . The little girls have nothing, so they drop out of school 😢 My heart just broke when hearing this. But, after reading the directions, no pattern, I know the Frixion Pen will help 100%. Thank You Again 😊
That is such an amazing thing to be part of. We love hearing about things like this. Let us know how that project goes.
Hi. Those are very pretty. TFS
Thank you! So glad you like this collection too!
So glad you like them Jenita! Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. Blessings, XO Jen
What is the name of the marking pen?
That is the Frixion Pen! You can find it here: www.shabbyfabrics.com/frixion-clicker-pen-2-pack-7mm-black-P29462.aspx
- Morgan
VERY clever!
So glad you like it! Thank you for watching!
Perfeito, maravilhoso 😍
Muito obrigado! :) - Morgan
Whats a frixion pen?whats its function.
A Frixion Pen is a marking pen. It works on fabric and paper, and the ink disappears with heat or friction (on paper, this would be rubbing it off with the "eraser"). We use it in our projects because it's an easy way to mark the fabric, and then it just irons right off. We use it to mark starting/stopping points, draw lines for embroidery, draw outlines for appliqué, etc. Does that help answer your question? - Morgan
@@ShabbyFabrics oh yes it does..thank you so much for replying...
You are so welcome! :) Glad we could be helpful! Let us know if you have any other questions. - Morgan
