I hope you are all well and safe out there! Here is the next tutorial in the Learn to Sew series... a quilted potholder!

@alexisdunstan3944 4 года назад

Doing my best to keep safe. That was a good choice to put the reflective batting facing the back side of the pot holder. I believe it works by reflecting the heat back and since we would most likely use the pot holder pretty side up it would reflect the most heat towards the back side. Maybe even have it directly against the wrong side of the backing fabric. Great way to use scraps. I always have to hunt for a pot holder when I need one so it is handy have lots.

@MelanieHam 4 года назад

yes, exactly! They can be used as trivets too!

Hey melanie. Im being direct here but can you teach us to make crocheted haramaki? It is worn around the waist and tummy for warmth and has benefits. I could not find a crochet tutorial for it. Your recent videos are about sewing so I was hoping we could get one about crochet some time in between. It is a request. So I would appreciate it if you felt like teaching us ^^. It is okay otherwise as well

@MelanieHam 4 года назад

@@faryabjaved8367 I don't have a haramaki on my crochet list at this point, but I have lots of crochet coming, don't worry!

@marytsang1427 2 года назад

I know Melanie is not with us anymore but so happy her family has kept all her videos up and allowing us to continue to learn from her. I hope she sees us all from heaven and is beaming from us enjoying her work.

@kathypelter8779 10 месяцев назад

Me too❤️ I learned so much from this beautiful Young lady. Still refer to her videos. She was AMAZING Many prayers to her family

@VTSherr Год назад

I miss you so much, Melanie! Thank you to her family for keeping her page available for us to continue to learn!

@CherylLeclaire Год назад

I just started watching Melanie about a month ago and was so sad to learn she passed last year. Such a sweet girl... she will continue to teach me how to sew from heaven. thanks Melanie!

@maryzac6357 Год назад

Thank you so much to Melanie's family for still keeping all her videos still.... Love all her tutorials... She is an amazing teacher... Now with Our Heavenly Father! Will miss her so so much...

@trishtestrow3366 Год назад

I have been a self taught sewer, So I stayed limited in my sewing. I found Melanies tutorials and found her tutorials so easy to follow. I was saddened to learn of Melanies battle against Cancer. I thank her family for continuing her legacy to the Sewing world as she is a great teacher. My deepest sympathy to you all.

@SpamMusubi1226 3 года назад

I like how you get right down to what you need and how to do it, without spending 10 minutes on the history of pot-holders, how your grandmother had all these potholders, how your mother learned how to make them and the mistakes she made, and so on and so on. Thank you for being so concise and yet very informative!

@sandramitchell9423 Год назад

I am still learning from Melanie! Her videos are a wonderful legacy, and keeps her alive for all of us. Thank you.

@MarySparkle Год назад

I so appreciate Melanie's many tutorials. Blessings to her family and much gratitude for keeping her videos up.

@janalexakis4628 Год назад

@chilipeprsandi Год назад

I miss Melanie, but really enjoy referring back to her videos. She was so sweet. 😇💕💃🏻

@tnmtnmorning1178 6 месяцев назад

I know you’re no longer on this side of eternity, but I still watch your tutorials. You’ve taught me to sew many things!! I made many of these potholders for Christmas gifts this year (2023). I even got an iron like yours from my husband for Christmas. I never paid attention to your iron until just now. Thanks Melanie!

@marysuncin4302 Год назад

Nicely done. Thank you for continuing to share her work.

@drstone688 3 месяца назад

Missing Melanie. Thanks to her family for letting us still learn from her creativeness, kindness, and generosity.

@ajd8558 3 года назад

We don't get that insulbright in my country so I use old cotton towels as batting - works perfectly to protect your hands from the heat.

@kimberlykcmcrochet4489 3 года назад

Thank You I am going to make this for my church who feeds freely once a week those who need meals. This is perfect. Bless You. ❤️

@ljgrow 3 года назад

I absolutely love this tutorial to use up my fabric stash. I love your choice of fabrics the gray with the printed binding is so fresh and updated! Thanks for always posting such great tutorials!

@gabrielebroom383 6 месяцев назад

I was looking for a pot holder tutorial and ran across this video. I miss Melanie but I am thankful her family keeps her videos available for us. ❤

@nuriagiralt617 4 года назад

I love it. Can't wait to make some. To reduce the shifting I quilt each line in opposite directions.

@michelle.shackelford4520 3 года назад

13:12 you have the cutest laugh ever! I also want to thank you for teaching me how to quilt. I've never sewn anything actually until I watched your video. Thank you thank you thank you! You teach so perfectly. I'll keep you in my prayers too.

@KarensDayintheLife 4 года назад

Loved this video. Several of your others taught me to I sew and make professional looking items in under 6 months.

@gracepatane9384 4 года назад

Great tutorial! I love how you did the binding! I have to try this!! Thank You, Melanie! Stay safe & healthy!

@kimberlya1793 4 года назад

Another fun one! Loving these learn to sew videos. Can't wait to make this too! I've been wanting to make potholders but they all looked so complicated. This looks perfect!

@katiehartmann7111 2 года назад

@terribishop5313 4 года назад

I recently found you through crochet. You are an excellent teacher. I've been sewing for 50 years and have never made a simple hot pad I know hard to believe. Ty for your videos. I'm in the middle of a wave afghan, with the help of your video and pleasant voice it's gone really well. I sure wish my son would have married someone like you!!

@carolg.6838 2 года назад

That's a nice compliment to Melanie.

@cand2jays 4 года назад

So I've done your facemask tutorial and also my first quilt tutorial. I've refound my love of sewing again and I thank you. Anyway I'm going to make a few of these to practice my stitches (being straight) so I can eventually tackle a quilt for my 5 yr old grandson so thank you for the encouragement in each video you do making mistakes aren't the end of the world.

@HRHDMKYT 3 года назад

Great video, thanks Melanie. Excellent idea to make the binding a little wider for the added thickness of the insul-brite heat resistant batting layer. This size (or placemat size) is great for practicing free-motion quilting. One suggestion for sewing down the binding to the front/top: For some coasters I made, I used a zig-zag stitch, being careful to catch the fold. I really like the look, and if you use the same colour thread as the binding you can’t really see it unless you look closely. I may just use it on my next quilt! Praying for you and your recovery ~ Diana K.

@momgrandma5496 4 года назад

Great way for a new quilter to start learning. Thanks Melanie.

@colleenzeglin4974 2 года назад

I just whipped out 4 of them. They are so fun to make and the fabric to play with us so fun. I am using up good size pieces.

@ashmoney 2 года назад

Hi Melanie! Great tutorial :) I’m wondering what the finished size of the potholder is..my sister wants a large custom size and I’m wondering how much to allow for seam allowance and shrinkage from the quilting? Thanks so much for all your work

@christybartolic6037 4 года назад

If using a walking foot should the fabric size that you decided to make smaller to allow for shifting be the same size as the backing?

@Jc-ts4op 2 года назад

thank you😻💅💅

@phyllispalmer9172 4 года назад

What kind of fabric did you use for the top and backing? I’m looking for something like this to match into an older quilt top.

@jafallica 4 года назад

Great video Melanie. Do you have instructions on making a glove pot holder?

@MelanieHam 4 года назад

no, not as of now

@LaurieEggleston37 4 года назад

Hi Melanie. This is great! Did you use Insul-Bright or a different type of thermal batting?

@MelanieHam 4 года назад

I used insul-fleece ;)

@Aviatrix14 Год назад

If you wanted to add a hanging loop, how would you do that? Thanks, nice video!

@silas-lee 4 года назад

Great video. What fabric is that FQ used for binding? Very cool.

@MelanieHam 4 года назад

It's from Cloud9 fabrics, the Good Vibrations line ;)

@leighhansen738 4 года назад

Looks great Melanie. I’m just wondering if you have had issues with the wool pressing mat damaging your table underneath from the heat of the iron? The wood under mine has all lifted, so I’m wondering if I got a dud one, or if they all do that?

@unicornfiber6189 4 года назад

I think it’s because the heat and moisturizer still travels through the wool mat. I have one too and noticed right away wet spots under my mat. I stared using it on my ironing board because of the moisture getting through

@kezerl 3 года назад

Can I use tacky adhesive on the pot holders?

@Mrsnecess 4 года назад

What if we do not have heat layer? Can we substitute something else?

@markwagner4909 4 года назад

Are you using all cotton material and thread? I would think if you didn’t the potholder threads could melt from the heat of the pot. I don’t really know as I’m just getting started

@MelanieHam 4 года назад

great point! Yes, everything I used including the thread is 100% cotton.

@byronchandler5000 4 года назад

@Sophie_kent 2 года назад

Where can buy the heat resistant. ?

@andreaf5765 4 года назад

Is buying that iron worry the money? I quilt and sew a decent amount. Just afraid to make the leap.

@MelanieHam 4 года назад

yes, I love it. It is spendy though. My favorite part is the workflow of not having to constantly pick up and place the iron on it's end.

@susans7091 2 года назад

Are there certain fabrics that we should Not use for hotpads?

@kima.6611 2 года назад

Sorry to be the bearer of sad news, but Melanie passed away in January from cancer. Wish I could answer your question. Me, I would stick to cotton fabrics. Hopefully someone can answer your question better.

@KittenBowl1 Год назад

You should avoid any synthetic materials as they would melt. You can use heavy cotton, Oxford fabric (thick cotton) is a great fabric as it’s thicker but easy to sew and quite durable, thicker linen, or even a blend of cotton linen or cotton wool if you have left over fabrics. Just don’t use polyester, nylon, anything that melts.

@CLW4949 3 года назад

Evidently you are not supposed to start sewing the binding at a corner. I did not figure that out until I sewed all around and then couldn't figure out what to do with the two ends at a corner.
