I didn't show how to make the loop so here are some pictures to show how I prepare the loop.

Cut a piece of shoestring about 2 1/2" long

Using a needle and thread put the needle through the shoestring ends and then wrap around the ends a few times. then I take the needle through the wrapped thread a couple of times.

now you have a loop with the needle and thread still on it. Don't cut it off yet. Use the needle now to sew it onto the hotpad top. I sew over the end a few times to attach it to the hotpad. Make sure you have the loop upside down on the top so it will end up the right way when you turn it right side out later.

Next week we are going to look at the 4 x 4 quilt block I posted in the first thread. I will show you variations of this block and a layout for you to use.
