My grandmother hand made me 3-4 square kitchen pot holders. Just like these, different fabric. She made them when i got my 1st apartment at age 16. I'm 46 & still have them. :)
Very nice and informative step-by-step instructions. Perfect for the beginner and reminders for us older sewers/quilters. Use an 8 1/2 x 10" block and 12 squares makes a nice mug rug. Great for birthday, Parents/Grand Parents' Day, Christmas, house warming and student/teacher home economic classes. Also great for those students going off to school with all their mini toaster-oven and waffle makers.
thank you so much for this tutorial. i somehow ALWAYS had problems with attatching the loops, but this video made me understand it much better, thank you.
your video was great, loved it. finally someone that i can understand. . I really, really loved the end. must be very, very close friends of yours, got to love em.
I made about six already as quickies for all my drs nurses happy. I lvebyourbideas and made them Based on all the things I’ve learned from you right down to cutting into squares.i have three boxes of little pieces.Im hoping to attempt collage quilting soon. Thank you for all your time and talents.?i hope you and Manny have a great Holiday season.
Thank you for responding to my question. I do use a walking foot, check the pressure feet, needles, etc., and was advised at my sewing store to try to use a spray adhesive to keep them in place. I'm not crazy about using that but will try it. I just can't understand why the batting, insul-brite and cotton material keep shifting on me and I pin them in place all the way around.
I always layer first lay down batting. The insul bright. Then backing right side up n the front pretty side down. This will hold the insul bright in place. When you top stitch it hold the insul bright perfect. Enjoy. Has really helped me. I have made 60 potholes for the food bank Thanksgiving baskets. I have 30 more to go
The Insul bright makes thick corners. So I clip all four corners about 3/8 to 1/2 inch from point. The batting is not clipped. Now it makes the corners easy n perfect.
Hi Melinda. When the seams in each row are pressed in the opposite direction it is easier to match seams. The seams also lay flatter. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Hello,May I ask?? Is it ok if there's is no cotton badding cuz we don't have does and it's for my project thought.And what should I use if I don't have a cotton badding??
Hi Daisyness. You can cut up terrycloth towels. Cut 2 and place them in between your 2 fabrics for the outside. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
I have watched your tutorials many times and have really good results. However, when I use batting and insulbrite, I find that they shift even though i have pins all around. How do you keep your batting and insulbrite from shifting when sewing? Is it the batting? Please help! And thank you..
Hi Karen. Are you using a "walking" presser foot. That helps the fabric layers from shifting. You can get one from a sewing machine dealer store, or go to sewingpartsonline.com. Enter the brand name and model name/number. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍💗😊
Hi Mary Ann. The easiest would be 100% cotton. But I prefer a jersey knit fabric. To sew with knits use polyester fabric, and do a small zigzag stitch instead of a straight stitch on all the seams. Thanks for watching.😍
Hi Paula, this is a great way to get a feel for quilting. The nine patch is a very popular pattern for beginners. It’s actually how I started in quilting. This tutorial is explained very well. Once you make a small project, in no time, you’ll be making a lot of different things. Just my humble opinion of course. The most important thing is to have fun. Thankfully, there are no quilting police. You learn as you go and you will make mistakes, but don’t get discouraged. We all start somewhere. 😉
Hi Rita. If you use Insul-Bright, on the package instructions they recommend that you use at least one square of cotton batting. If you don't have cotton batting, they cut up and old kitchen towel. Make sure the towel is 100% cotton. Hope this helps. Happy holidays. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
@@TheSewingRoomChannel Thsnk you Ma'am. I will do this, as I have plenty of old kitchen towels & did not ķnow what to do with them. I live in Bhubaneswar, the capital city of Odisa in India. Most of my craft supplies are from the USA. Have a lovely Holiday.
Hi Kelly. The top stitching, also called quilting stitches, is done through all the layers of fabric and cotton batting. These stitches are done to hold all the layers in place so that they do not separate during use and the washing/drying cycle. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
@@23shadowlee Thanks, I tried Walmart but was in a hurry. Maybe I overlooked it there. I'll try HL soon. Most I've seen is either part poly or 100% poly.

Thank you for another great video. Why do you flip the strips with seams going in the opposite direction? Thanks.
Hi Melinda. When the seams in each row are pressed in the opposite direction it is easier to match seams. The seams also lay flatter. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
SEW cute! 😁
Love this. Thanks 👍

What is the easoest fabric to use for a beginner kimono pattern
Hi Mary Ann. The easiest would be 100% cotton. But I prefer a jersey knit fabric. To sew with knits use polyester fabric, and do a small zigzag stitch instead of a straight stitch on all the seams. Thanks for watching.😍
Would you say this is a good project to learn before doing a quilt ?
Hi Paula, this is a great way to get a feel for quilting. The nine patch is a very popular pattern for beginners. It’s actually how I started in quilting. This tutorial is explained very well. Once you make a small project, in no time, you’ll be making a lot of different things. Just my humble opinion of course. The most important thing is to have fun. Thankfully, there are no quilting police. You learn as you go and you will make mistakes, but don’t get discouraged. We all start somewhere. 😉
Hi Paula. Dory said it right. Start with something small and work you way up to a quilt. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
Ma'am, can I use Insul Brite instead of batting in a table runner?
Hi Rita. If you use Insul-Bright, on the package instructions they recommend that you use at least one square of cotton batting. If you don't have cotton batting, they cut up and old kitchen towel. Make sure the towel is 100% cotton. Hope this helps. Happy holidays. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

Now I have a use for extra fabric from face masks. Thanks. Looks doable. Funny ending.
You’re welcome 😀

Can you show me what the back looks like after you add the decorative stitch at the end
Hi Kelly it will look the same on both the front and back. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

Dear Ma'am, can you teach how to make bags (crossbows or purse) using squares)? Thank you.
Hi Rita. Thank you for the sewing project suggestion. Happy holidays. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
I need to know how to make potholder
Hi Rose. I have lots of pot holder tutorials. Check them all out here ➡️ ua-cam.com/play/PLk1NiZvKG3bfte-uKC7TwBxThkwVePlaQ.html.
Good Morning, How are where can I can patterns to print out? Thank you
At this time I do no offer patterns to print out.
How do you top stitch without doing the back
Hi Kelly. The top stitching, also called quilting stitches, is done through all the layers of fabric and cotton batting. These stitches are done to hold all the layers in place so that they do not separate during use and the washing/drying cycle. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Where can one purchase 100% cotton thread?
Hi Diane. Joann Fabrics and Crafts, quilt fabric stores, internet, amazon.com. Merry Christmas. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
@@TheSewingRoomChannel Thanks.
Hobby Lobby
I buy it at Hobby Lobby
@@23shadowlee Thanks, I tried Walmart but was in a hurry. Maybe I overlooked it there. I'll try HL soon. Most I've seen is either part poly or 100% poly.
It needs some batting.
Hi Pat. There are two layers of cotton batting, but you can use 1 cotton batting and 1 Insul-Bright. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
I like u
