Hi! Am I glad I have found this tutorial! 😎🌸 Thanks a lot Laura!

I see this is from way back in 2014, but I'm glad to have found this tutorial. Thanks! It's really simple, well described, and fun to make.

Thank you for your tutorials. I have just made 6 table napkins and table cloth for this years table.

Thank you for all your wonderful teaching videos. I especially appreciate when you specify the correct needle to use. You are so talented!

Thank you for sharing your expertise! You are a great instructor - I love your videos - you gave some great tips for cutting the batting and making the corners sharp. I'm going to make a set of both the napkins and placemats - while I watch your video.

Smart ! 👑. Beautiful place mat &napkins, thanks for sharing. 😁

I love your teaching style! You explain everything very well. Now I know I can make these for my daughter for the holidays! Thanks!

I love your videos! You make everything come out looking high end. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Awesome video. You made it look so easy. I'm going to try this tomorrow. Thank you

I really love all of your videos. Your method of teaching is so very pleasing. Thank you.

Great tutorial! You gave some excellent tips on trimming out the batting and pressing seam allowances to make for sharper edges and corners, things I have not seen in all my years of sewing.

hi femalemart1..the place mats start out at 14"x18" and the napkins are 11"square and use a 1/4" seam allowance. But you can make them any size that you want:)have fun!

Just finished making the placemats,your instructions are so easy to follow,Thankyou for all the help given to me via your tutorials🐣

Wow! Good tips/ ideas on sewing batting to the place mats! Thank you!

Thank you so much! I sewed four place mats in a few hours minus the napkins and it turned out beautiful! :)

I learn at least one useful tip from you every single time I watch a video. Thank you SO much for your great videos.

Thank You for the batting tip! 50+ years sewing & I learned a new thing today :-) !

Oh my goodness. I love learning something new! Thank you

Thank you for the placemat program. It gave me more ideas for Christmas gift giving.

As always, a great tutorial. Your teaching delivery is so calming and so easy to follow - so many tutorials assume knowledge that some of us simply don't have! Many thanks.

Thank you for this tutorial. I enjoy subscribing to your channel, your instructions are very clear!. Thanks again.

thank you for sharing, these are beautiful. Your tutorial was easy to follow and understand. I look forward to follow and watch more of your tutorials.

Genius tip for easy trimming of the batting. Why didn't i think of that before!

I love your videos, they are so much fun and helpful. I can't wait for more.

This is awesome! I just started sewing and once I get better (I'm taking lessions) I will make this for my mom, Great job!

Thanks Laura,these are lovely and I will be making some.

Wonderful video. Thank you!

Beautiful succinct directions! Thank you!

Great job. They look perfect. Very easy to follow tutorial and good tips.

I was browsing thru my subscriptions and saw your instructional video for Christmas placemats. Having/making placemats never occurred to me until I watched your video. You inspired me! 2 days before Christmas & I started making eight (8) placemats. I bought some beautiful poinsettia material & some black material (with a slight pattern) for the back. You speak and describe yourself so clearly. Thank you for making the instructions so easy to follow. I made eight (8) placemats in approx. Six (6) hours. I got them on my table in the nick of time. "WE" got so many complements on them. I didn't have enough time to make the napkins. Those will also be on my table next year! I made sure I sprayed the placemats with a fabric sealer. I didn't want any stains on my newly made mats.

Excellent instructional video. You are good teacher too.

Thanks for wonderfully easy projects and ideas

These are wonderful! Thank you for the lesson!

Thank you. BEAUTIFUL TUTORIALS. 😃👍👍👍👍🌷

OM Goodness ... YOU have the most beautiful silver/grey/white hair I've ever seen. WoW !!!

Love making these. They turned out great :)💕

I can't make out the type of machine you are using. I've not sewed in a very long time, but now that I'm retired, I think this would be a good time to pick it up again. You are so easy to understand and have so many wonderful ideas.

My goodness! You explained that very well!

Thank you for sharing such an easy project for beginners! I am definitely going to subscribe to this channel

This tutorial made me decide to subscribe. My mother can sew with her eyes closed but she is in MD and I am in Alaska so I wanted to show her that I can do something. I wanted to make her placemats and napkins. I think she will like the reversible look. Thank you for making it so easy.

Thank you! It´s awesome! Hugs from Brazil!

Thank you so much 😊 that was a great 👍 tutorial

great tips! i needed that

Thanks....really enjoyed this.......

You’re awesome!! Tnx

thank yoy its' awesome! hugs from Iraq

Thank you for explaining what happens if corners are not trimmed. What do you think of trimming back corners a second time, trimming the freshly cut seam allowance from 45 degrees to approx 22 degrees? And pressing to set stitches? Terrific tip flipping the ruler to trim the batting über close to the sea. Thanks again!

Great tips on doing the placemats thank you! What is the best batting to use ? Cotton or 80/20?

Love watching your videos. Only one suggestion...make more. :-)

Sensacional!!!

They are wonderful! If you quilt them how do you keep the stitching from coming out? Back stitch on the edge top stitch?
