I hope this bends in 1/2 easily. I saw one video where the instructor sews 3 lines of stitching from corner to corner for the quilting lines, diagonally. These made it easy for the hot pad to bend in 1/2 while grabbing the pot handle on would imagine. If you fold it corner to corner. But should be done before the picket goes on. I can’t remember which person did the video that showed this extra stitching idea, but it did seem nice if people were worried about the hot pad bending in the middle easily.
You can do your stitching lines however you want! 😊 And yes, it bends easily (although that will also have to do with how thick of batting you put in there).
