It was your idea Phyllis, that gave me the encouragement - I find that the more I "sew" the more confidence I am gaining and I try and learn from each thing I make ...........my next ones will be more even........need to take more of the bulk out.........I am not "policing" myself just trying to be more consistent before I tackle a quilt

Judy, thanks for the info and picture. Very cute and inspiring!

Great idea...thanks for sharing... :D

I am internet impaired as I only have dial up available and cannot watch videos. Does anyone know of written directions for these?

:( Ditto for me :( I too have dial up and can't watch videos :( Hopefully someone can come up with written directions for those of us that are internet impaired :)

As far as the batting - heat resistant would be equal to Insulbrite. I have read on this board tho to also put a layer of regular cotton batting for added comfort against the heat. If you have no access to Insulbrite, you could double or triple regular cotton batting.
Do not use polyester batting as it does not resist heat and may melt. If it melts onto skin, it could give second or third degree burns.

If no batting is used, I would be very wary of using it with anything hot. The heat could come through the cotton fabric and burn your hand.

I like how big she makes them. Most hotpads are too small for most jobs.
Love the idea of coasters.

I would just put one of the white plastic rings on and hang them that way.

Thanks for that! Some one has told me I could use an old towel, cut to size! Would be a great way of re-cycling them. What do ye think?
