I have avoided making any of these so far, because I just hate hand-sewing binding on. I do it on my quilts because they seem to "deserve" it, but I would have to do something quicker on potholders.
Yours have turned out lovely. Nice Job!
I did the binding on my machine. I stiched it on the top of the potholder with the binding facing inwards and then wrapped the binding around the edge and stiched in the ditch so that it just catches the edge of the binding on the back. I saw the method in one my quilt books and it really was a lot easier than it sounds and looks nice, too.
