Hi Everyone,
I am new here. I am a placemat nut. I also teach some quilting and need some really neat and easy placemat patterns to teach beginners.

Thanks for any help, quilterann

Welcome from Ontario, Canada!

I've been thinking that the tube technique would be great as placemats.

Also placemats would be a good project to learn QAYG.

Hi and welcome from Australia.

I made paper pieced birds and then added enough borders around the edges to make them the size I wanted. Then I used an old oval placemat to trim. Used Warm and Natural batting so they would lie (lay?) flat. Did a quick turn, some quilting and they were done. Fast and easy.

a warm welcome from ky!

My first quilting project was a rail fence place mat. It was a lot of fun & very easy to put together. If you google free quilt patterns beginner you can find bunches of easy patterns.
Good luck :thumbup:

Welcome from Ks.

I bought a plastic one at Dollar Tree and then make a template for the patttern, allowing for seam allowance. I also teach some ladies at our church and placemats are easy. The most popular are the ones we make with one side Christmas and the other side Thanksgiving/Fall. You can also make pieced ones and then cut to template. I also make round ones the same way.
