Hello Shiny Crafty People and welcome back to the channel!
Today I’m using the technique I first described in my placemat video ( • Store-Bought Quilt Hac... ) to create a potholder that looks like it has binding but there’s no messy binding required! And the technique even lets you add a fun decorative second border to highlight the main fabric.
I made sure to use cotton batting because polyester batting would too easily melt. Don’t, don’t, don’t ever use a premade quilt for this!
Here’s the link where I got my cotton batting: amzn.to/3wMEnfF
I doubled up the batting but you could easily triple it to make it even more protective.
For this you’ll need a 10” piece of your back and border fabric. Four 9” strips of accent fabric. The strips should be however wide you want. But I suggest between 1.5” and 2.5”. And one 8” piece of your main center fabric. All fabrics should be cotton so they don’t melt when you use this for something hot.
If you like the portable travel iron I used here, check out the link here: amzn.to/3Ist7rg
And here’s a link for the spray adhesive I use: amzn.to/3TtyRr9
Don’t be fooled by cheaper cans of this on Amazon. Check the ounces and you’ll see that saving $6 isn’t a bargain when it’s only half the size.
I love the Odif 505 adhesive as it appears to be less toxic than the stuff we used to use. I still recommend you spray it in a well-ventilated area.
