Used a 100% poly batting instead of the cotton, as per your directions. Is this okay or I need to make a new hot pad? Wish I’d read a little more closely. Ugh! Reactions
I love both sizes for different reasons! The long mitt (Hot Stuff Oven Mitt) is great as a BBQ mitt and adds extra protection to your wrist. The shorter mitts (Hot Stuff Everyday Mitt) are available in transparent, red and teal-green and have a little more cuff to play with if you want to fussy cut your fabric or add embroidery.
Question: I finally pulled out my supplies to make a set of these for me and my bestie. Do you have to sew the fabric to the silicone? If I got tired of the fabric and wanted to make a new insert then I'd have to purchase another refill. Is it because the silicone will slip off? What if you just make a longer cuff that folds over? Also, I'm sure you construct it the way you do because you trialed it but can you make the insert and lining together, sew together and then insert it?
Yes, you do sew the outer cuff to the silicone and the insert. The quilted interior runs the length of the silicone and the cuff. I could imagine creating a mitt the way you are suggesting but it would be a completely different project to be designed. In the current model the insert stays put under the silicone because it is sewn to the silicone. The cuff is sewn in as well.
I had a lot of difficulty following the written pattern. This tutorial helped. Wished I knew about it before I messed up the mitt. Is a nice product , but I messed up
Hi Steve, I am hoping to add more videos. I am glad you liked it. Please feel free to contact me if you want to talk through anything with your mitt project.
Good point! I showed it without a free arm because I thought people might want to see how it is done if they don't have a free arm. But, yes, the free arm is much easier and if you have one, that is definitely the way to go!
Great helpful video a little more detail needed for binding. Love this product, pattern is so well done.
Thanks, I hope you enjoy making and using it! If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks for the video. Your pattern is very well written but seeing it done really helps!
Hi Melissa, thanks. I'm so glad it was helpful for you!

My silicone mitt is much shorter - ATB 212T - than the mitt in your video. I think a longer mitt is preferable. Thanks for the video!
Wondering why you brought out the new shorter version of this pattern as the longer one is fantastic???

Why don't you use the free arm
