Use 1/4 inch piping not 1/2 inch
The strips are still 1.5 inches wide
Use your fabric scraps and some cotton piping to make some handy trivets for your kitchen. They're perfect for protecting your table from hot pots and plates.

Thank you for this! I was looking for gift ideas to make and this is perfect!
This will make awesome Christmas gifts!! 😍
Love it! Thank you.
Love it! Got a heavy duty brother for Christmas and I haven't even turned it on to try to get it figured out! I'm scared! But I would love to make some of these! Gonna Google how much cotton piping is.
Wooow 🤗🤗🤗
Sooo cuteee💕
Thank u 💟
The idea of putting a piece of folded fabric behind the piping swirl to straighten the sewing machine foot was really clever! I'm definitely using the tip for my next projects.
I have a question, though: how does the final result look at the bottom of the piece? As in, do the raw edges show too much, or will they fray over time/if washed? Is there any way of preventing this? I thought maybe a tube could be sewn and turned right side out so the raw edges stay in the inside of the tube, then adding the piping to it, but that seems like a lot of work. Maybe making the swirl with the raw edges in the middle instead of in the bottom?
I tried to make it with the raw edge ending up on the inside but it wasn't easy so the backside is unfinished. But if it were me and I was making this as a gift, after I finish with it, i'd use it as a pattern and cut out a circle from wool felt. Then just attach to the backside with either fabric glue or sew it in place by stitch around the outer circle again. Wool felt can handle heat, is easy to work with and is washable. Hope that helps! :)
@@ProfessorPincushion ahh yes, the wool on the bottom is definitely a nice idea to hide the raw edges, as it also might help the trivet to adhere to the table better, besides further isolating the heat. Thank you!
Thank you--this is exactly what I was looking for! I'm trying to make a few trivets as a gift for my mother and I know she was looking for ones cinnamon scented. Do you know of a way to add a step to make them scented as well?
Hmmmm.....maybe a few drops on the cord with essential oils? That's what I would try
what is the length of the strips?
Love this project. Was the piping you used 1/2"? I just bought a bunch and mine seems really thicker than yours??
hmmm...it's been awhile since I made this...maybe 3/8". You can still do it with wider piping, you'll just have less rotations in your trivet. :)
1/4" piping was used in the video, sorry. The description has been updated.
With 3/8” of piping the fabric is not wide enough at 1 1/2” to cover piping. I had to recut using 2”. So fabric cut at 1 1/2” will have to be put in stash.
You are correct, 1/4" was used in the video, sorry. The description has been updated.
What is the size of piping in video?
I think I use 1/4" but you can probably get away with 3/8" too. :)
I used 1/4", don't use 3/8"
This does not look like the 1/2" piping I bought, this is way smaller.
1/4" piping was used in the video, sorry. The description has been updated.
Why do you want me to go back there?
I just wasted $6 on 1/2 inch piping and an hour and my favorite scraps that won't cover it. Please correct video
Sorry, you are correct, the piping used in the video is 1/4". The description has been changed to reflect this.
