Work in progress on bowl cozies
 

I have to take my Machine to get something fixed so I have to stop my work for now! And I was bussing along real good.[ATTACH=CONFIG]619410[/ATTACH]

You sure were! I've made a few myself this past year. I also use them for my ice cream bowl, as I can't hold cold things.

Good progress!!!!

What would you use if you want to hold something hot on my lap , such as a bowl of soup ?

Impressive output. I bet you're itching to get your sewing machine back home.:cool:

Nice work … I should make some for my DD. Would make a nice Christmas gift, and I don't think she has any.

You sure were on a roll! They look great. How many more do you need to make? How long will your machine be out of commission?

Nice job Sewingsuz. I have that same pattern and am going to make a couple for Secret Santa gifts at our guild.
What kind of batting to you use as I don't want it to catch fire in the microwave?
Thank you,
Donna

Hot food is what these were originally made for. If you want to re-heat something in the microwave, you put your bowl into one of these microwaveable bowls, heat for 1-2 minutes (no more at a time) and when you take it out, you won't burn your fingers on a hot bowl, you basically have a built-in hot pad to hold it with. . That's why the ladies are saying it also works great for a bowl of ice cream.

Wow, that is an amazing start on your bowl cozies.

that is a lot of bowl cozies, great job

Thanks for all the comments. I will get my machine back on Nov 22nd. I think I have had my Bernina for about 13 yrs and only had it serviced once. The lady that took the machine in and wrote it up on the computer, looked at me and said "only once?" I have cleaned and oiled it myself often. I ask her to have the repair person tell me how many stitches are on the machine. I will let you know what happens? I also took the walking foot there and ask to be checked because it makes a lot of noise when I am using it.

The saying about John Deer and Berninas is almost the same.

I do not remember what the batting was called but is was special for in microwave.

Almost looks like the stack I have. Aren't we lost without our machines? This just gives you time to cut out more. BrendaK

Sorry to hear about your machine. Hope you are back in business real soon! Every time I make one of these for my self, someone sees it and I end up giving it to them. I am making them for all the family for Christmas :)

wrap 'n zap

Very nice project. You really have been busy

oh my, that is a nice pile of cozies! I've had a couple requests for more, 1 daughter wants a casserole size cozy.

I got my old kenmore machine out and it works fine. Does not fit good in the hole in my table but I am only making pot holders so I can live with it. The shop called me and said they have to order a part for my machine so I won't get it back until after thanksgiving. I have a viking machine with a walking foot but if you have not used it for some time, it will need service, so I did not get that one set up. How do you keep all your machines running at once? My room is not big enough to have 3 or four machine set up so you can do different work on each? How do you other people do that?

Hey, I got my machine back today. They had the part in stock. My HB went tp Prescott to pick it up. I ask about the stitches ( the count) I have 15,921,543 stitches and 451 hours. I wish I kept a log of everything I made. This is a Bernina 440QE.

Ha, I have an old Kenmore (purchased in 71) too. My girl friend gave me a cozy bowl with directions and was perfect.
I just finished my second one. Everything went perfect until I turn it in side out and to top stitch it. It's awful! :( My batting must be too thick and too big. I watched the utube video. What was the size of your blocks and the size of your batting? Mine was 9 inch batting and 10 inch block. I sewed right on the edge of the batting as directions said. Any suggestions?
Thank you Donna
