Absolutely love your tutorial! I’m not a quilter but I loved this so much, I’m going to try my hand at making the hot pads! Thank you!
I'm sure they will turn out great! We would love to see pictures of your finished hot pads! -Carolyn
Love these hot pads! I plan to make them for Christmas gifts for friends and family. Thank you for all the inspiration you orovide!
You are so welcome! Be sure to check out the new Folded Star Square Hot Pad that recently came out. Here is the link to that: www.shabbyfabrics.com/folded-star-squared-hot-pad-kit-poinsettia-and-pine-black-P99879.aspx?ref=SearchAutocomplete - Yajaira
What a beautiful project! I've been looking at this since you sent the email wondering how to make it. It's so gorgeous. I love your tutorials and lovely products.
Glad it was helpful! - Yajaira
I love this project- thank you Jen for another Christmas gift idea!
Happy holidays! - Yajaira
What a beautiful pattern, especially with the colors and large print! I would make this in red, white, and blue! So many holidays to use it on! Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, Veterans Day, which was inspired by Armistice Day, November 11th! Love your videos!
Thank you so much! We are happy you enjoy them. - Yajaira
I love your tutorials. You are so patient with us not knowing everything! Keep them coming!
Thank you for your feedback! We love helping you create fun, meaningful projects that will be treasured. 💖 -Michelle
The square seems a lot easier than the circle one. Loving this pattern and going to purchase it today. Thanks for all your suggestions and help with this project.
Happy to hear that! We hope you enjoy it! -Yajaira
I used to make the round ones for display in a hoop. I learned the technique in a quilting class in the late 1980s, and this was an old technique then. It's nice to things resurface and be enjoyed anew!
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing! - Yajaira
@@ShabbyFabrics Thanks to everyone at SF for all the great videos and inspiration! ☺️
Me too! I seem to have lost the pattern so I’m gonna need to order the hot pad patterns.
Great tips: Starching fabrics, new blades and a fresh new machine needle! Thanks Jen for this tutorial!
Happy to help! - Yajaira
I really adore the colours you've chosen but I'm leaning towards red gold and green for Christmas
Love your tutorials
Keep them coming please
Thanks so much 😊 - Yajaira
Beautiful! I use my zipper foot to sew on my binding. It tracks perfectly along the ditch and I can set my needle position closer to the binding without fear of sewing over it.
Great tip! - Yajaira
So.... I just made my first square hot pad. This is what I learned. You must be extremely precise both in cutting and especially in folding and ironing. The starch is essential. Use only enough glue, not too much. It’s messy and it soaks through to the appliqué sheet and makes your pad damp. Take your time lining things up-mine ended up a little wonky-but hey first attempt. For quilting I used the erasable pen so I had lines to follow-I’m not as seasoned a quilter as Jen. Remember to use one thread for bobbin thread and another for top stitching if your fabrics are different. I goofed on that big time. All together it was a really fun project and I’m off to make my second third fourth.....❤️
Thank you for all those amazing tips! I am sure all our subscribers appreciate that useful information. Thank you for watching our channel and that you continue to challenge yourself to make more and more of these.❤️ - Yajaira
Sorry Shabby fabrics if my comments were received well... I was only trying to help💕
Love watching you Jenn. You bring such joy to your videos. I always learn something when I watch you. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed this!! Thanks for watching!! -Michelle
When I made my first round pot holder watching your channel, we stitched down each row. I discovered it was easier to fo it the way you showed here.
I glued each row and then just stitched across all the way across all the way across. There was so much less bulk from the thread!
Just like you did on this I one!
I love these pot holders and today I'm going to make the square one in your video.
I love the pocket technique for the binding & use it in my quilts, also!
Thank you for such easy to folliw videos. They make learning so much easier!
We're sew glad we could inspire you!! Thanks for watching!!! -Michelle
Do I have to use that glue or can I use Elmers?
I like this pattern and ordered the pattern. Today I cut and folded and ironed. Thank you for doing this video. I would never have finished without you!
Hi Loretta! Great work! Thank you so much for watching! - Sophie
Thank you for the stiching in the
" ditches " this looks like a great project
Thanks for watching! - Yajaira
Love all your videos Jenn. I really appreciate all your extra little tips! Start to finish - just a beautiful tutorial! These are a must sew!
We're happy you enjoy them! Thank you very much for watching! -Michelle
Love the way you explain how and WHY and what to watch out for things that might be a problem. I will be watching lots of your Shabby Fabric Tutorials!!
Thank you, Fay Reno! We're happy you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for more fun projects!! ✨ -Michelle
This is a perfect project for the prairie point tool. I made some of these hot pads and gave them as gifts. They are so much fun to make….I love choosing the fabric the best…and people think I’m so talented!🤣
We are very glad you enjoy making these hot pads! The Prairie Point Tool is a definite staple in our sewing room too- and don't sell yourself short- you are very talented! 💖 -Michelle
I remember my grandmother making these back in the 1950s, in England we call this Somerset work.
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing with us. - Yajaira
Looking forward to making both the round and aware one in fun purple tones❤️
We'd love to see it! - Yajaira
Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much for slowly and with explanation going through all the steps to complete this beautiful piece. I may actually need to shop now! LOL!!!
Yes! You can do it! - Yajaira
I really like the close up on how to make the mitered corners. I would be inclined to press the corners before the stitch in the ditch to help keep them in place. I appreciated all the details in this video. Never too old to learn something new. And such lovely project. I think I'm going to get a head start on gifts. There are so many occasions where these would be perfect.
Hi Sandy! So glad you found our tutorial helpful! Thank you for watching! -Sophie
Newbie to your channel, just subscribed. I love this tutorial, thank you for showing all the steps, especially the complete binding, as I’m new to all of this. I loved that fabric, but it must be all gone. I look forward to future videos. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

I’d use Christmas theme material 💕
Great idea! - Yajaira
I really like these and would love to try to make one. It's been a long time since I've done any real sewing though, so I would definitely need a kit. My colour choices would include green and fall colours, or Christmas colours. Can't decide.
Yes! You can purchase this kit in particular when you click on this link: www.shabbyfabrics.com/folded-star-square-hot-pad-kit-anastasia-P98642.aspx?ref=SearchAutocomplete - Yajaira
If I made one, I'd make it in teal, white and brown. Fall colors would be nice too. Your video made it look so easy to make!

Just received and made. I love it! Had to break out my heavy duty singer machine it is so thick! My 30 year old Kenmore couldn't handle it lol
Yes this is a thicker project to see through so be careful we don’t want any sewing machines giving out on us. - Yajaira
Precioso nueva idea de realizarlo HERMOSISIMO👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

OMGosh! I have so much scrap fabric just itching to be hot pads! And my crazy pattern combining is perfect for this project..... I think the Monet and the Picasso in me are screaming to be released into hot pad land. Ordered 12 templates but I bet I will want more. Christmas presents here I come...😂💕
Yes! We are excited for you, and hope you enjoy! - Yajaira
You are an absolute life saver. Being in lockdown I ordered the Folded Star Stencil thinking that looks easy . 2 mths Later it has arrived and I have NO IDEA how to use them . Im a total beginner at this quilting but not sewing and I had no idea how to do the binding so thankyou for that . Yes there are still newbies lol
your a great teacher and Icant wait to get started :)
We are very glad that you found this tutorial helpful! We love our Plum Easy patterns and we're glad that you are starting your quilting journey. You can find our Beginner Quilting videos here: ua-cam.com/video/UfsBndEvF78/v-deo.html 💖💖💖 -Michelle
Hi Jen..... love those hot pads..... and I love that rose fabric your using......lovely....almost too lovely to use...lol 😃
Right! - Yajaira
Boy you are a great teacher! Very clear and slow enough. I wanted to give up. But this 68 yr old is going to try again!! Glad I found you. I subscribed to see what else I can learn from you.
You've got this, Kathy!! Take your time and remember that "a person who makes few mistakes makes little progress." We believe in you. 💖 -Michelle
@@ShabbyFabrics Wow!! I did it! I had to keep stopping the video but I followed you and did it! I am going to keep making these until I get it "down pat" and my whole family has them! Thanks so much for your belief in me and your excellent video. I am a fan of yours for life!
We're very glad that this project was successful for you! Thank you for your feedback. Now, go make more!! 💖 -Michelle
I am but the hard part now is the binding! Haha
Thank you showing the binding step. I always struggle with bias bindings; they always go wonky on me, especially on curves.
We are very glad that you found this tutorial helpful! Thank you for watching. -Michelle
Great tutorial!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!! -Michelle
Hi! Thank you for the Folded Star Squared Tutorial. Could you tell me which green thread that was used for the bobbin thread to stitch down the binding? Thank you for your help.
Hello! Glad you enjoyed the video! We have a variety of green thread that is available on our site! Here is the link to that: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Green-Threads.aspx - Yajaira
First time viewer. I love the way you put pins to hold things. The way I learned in the 60’s. I was wondering why or when you put the back side on.
Love the video now to make a pot holder❤
So glad this one inspires you! Thanks for watching!! -Michelle
Looks so great good job 👍👍🤝🤝
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! Don't forget to check out the Christmas Hot Pad! - Yajaira
Great video
Thank you! We are happy you enjoy this lovely hot pad project! -Michelle
I’m ordering, I messed up and made two orders instead of one..I love these colors.
Aren't these so fun?! Thank you for watching! - Sophie
Love this tutorial, your explanations and demonstration is easy to follow. Sorry if I missed this step, but, what did you use for a batting to deflect the heat so you don't get burned? I didn't see it mentioned in the supply list.
i found my pattern to make them. i have made them and there are so fun.
That is great to hear! Happy that you enjoyed this project and thanks for your comment! - Abby
Very very nice. Thank you very much.🙏🌺
We are glad you enjoy this project. Thank you for watching 💖-Michelle
Hi I really enjoyed this tutorial/video. I have an order ready to go to get the kit and instructions. It looks like so much fun to do. I have another question. I was watching your video/tutorial on making the no sew styrafoam ball ornaments. Amazing as well. I can't find the 3" balls in my area. You are using the 2.5 strips does this affect my placement on the ornament if I am using either the 4" or the 2" ball. Thank you in advance.
I believe that it would throw off the sizing a little bit on the styrofoam balls. However, you may find 3" styrofoam balls on Amazon for about $8.00. Here is the link to that: www.amazon.com/Inch-Smooth-Foam-Balls-Christmas/dp/B07WXMXZ26/ref=sr_1_27?dchild=1&keywords=styrofoam+balls&qid=1603906257&sr=8-27 - Yajaira
Great tutorial. Can I use the Precision Pressing Mat (from your Year in Words kit) instead of the Appliqué Pressing sheet shown here?
Hi Kathy! That shouldn't be a problem. There is no appliqué in the square folded star hot pad so you are able to use whatever pressing mat works best for you! Thank you for watching! - Sophie
Great tutorial! Question regarding the binding- is there an advantage to using the sleeve method demonstrated vs. the more traditional quilt technique of a diagonal seam? Thank you!
Great question! It's just an different binding option that we wanted to show you. We're glad you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching! 💖 -Michelle
Thanks for the video. I recently bought the pattern but was a little confused on how to make it. Your video made everything so much clearer. Everything came out good except for my binding. My stitching didn't always catch the back binding. Any tips on how to be sure you catch the back when sewing in the ditch from the front?
Warm orange with yellow and a hint of brown would look lovely.
Great choices! - Yajaira
Talk too much
Ficou show, parabéns!
Obrigado! - Yajaira
Use 100% cotton thread for hot pads as polyester melts at higher temperatures. 100% cotton may scorch, but it won’t melt on your cabinets, pots, pans or bakeware. Ask me how I know this. Yeah, a cast iron skillet and 2 loaf pans ruined by using poly thread. Along with a section of cabinet. I used the pot holders on the cabinet & set the hot bread pans on the hot pads to cool for a minute. The skillet, I was taking it off the burner and the handle was hot enough to melt the thread while I was holding the skillet. You can bet I set it down fast. Only minor burns that I treated at home. Please learn from my experience and don’t use anything made of polyester in the kitchen.
We hope you are okay. Thank you for sharing. - Yajaira
Thanks so much.
I rarely use cotton thread because its so linty. I wouldn't have thought to use it.
Thank you for the very important information!
I thought I heard they poly clear doesn't melt the mono filiment does.
@@janetflint8202 I used polyneon on one an invisible poly on the hot pads I put the bread pans on. All I learned was “no poly in the kitchen” for me.
I love this hot pad so much I bought three packages of the template not knowing there was a square template. Are the corner pieces also 5” square?
The square hot pad is relatively new to us! All the measurements are included in the pattern. - Yajaira
the best video i've found for showing how to make these. I do have one question: Does the poly thread melt when using the hot pads on a hot handle of a pot?
We have subjected our hot pads to various heat tests without experiencing negative consequences. More likely, the fabric will burn before the thread does. Please note that we have not used these for a "fresh off the stove hot iron skillet". Hope this makes sense!! -Michelle
Gorgeous colours. Love this.
Thank you! Cheers! - Yajaira
Thanks for such a great video! I'm anxious to make my first ones. How does the mono poly thread hold up with the high heat in the pot holder version of the folded star?
This is a great tutorial! Happy that you liked it! For the monopoly, we have tested these and the monopoly seems to hold up just fine. Heat-wise, your fabric would most likely burn before the monopoly melts, so we would not recommend putting a “fresh from the oven” cast iron skillet on these, but they do work well as pot holders and hot pads. Hope this helps! - Abby
What caught my attention is the pretty wreath arrangement behind you. Just love that. Do u think you can make a ideo on that one? thank u, from Manila, Philippines.
Thanks for the suggestion! We will pass this along to our Creative Team! :)
- Beth
Lindo trabalho!
Muchas Gracias! - Yajaira
I very been working on one from yesterday, and finally finished it today it was a tough one. It was brutal on my machine. I dont know what I did to make it so thick. I used a jeans needle too. I ended up having to hand sew the binding on the back. I also used a walking foot to help, widened the stitch and went very slow. The first one I made went great.
Yes, sometimes those layers can be a bit tricky, depending on the type of machine you are sewing on. We are proud of you for completing the hot pad! Thanks for watching!! -Michelle
Hi Jen, I have a question for the square ones are the four corners also 5” square to start. Every time I make them the corners seems to be smaller than the triangles and I was wondering g if they should start bigger. Thanks love all your videos!!!!
We are very glad you enjoy these fun hot pads! The Folded Star Squared pattern includes all of the measurements for the cuts of fabric: www.shabbyfabrics.com/search?sortOrder=6&q=folded+star+pattern 💖 -Michelle
Love your videos! You are so thorough, and fun. I am looking at this pattern after making the Morning Star version, and was wondering if the corner pieces are also called Prairie Points too, or does that fold type have different name?
Hi PrincessEvilGenius - Yes, those would be considered Prairie Points too. Thanks so much for watching. We're happy you enjoy our projects! -Michelle
