These look nice but are they strickly for the purpose of being a potholder or can you put them under a dish in the microwave? Guess I'm asking a stupid question, but I don't get it. someone said they are not safe to use in the microwave.

Medium (large bowl) and small (for a cereal sz. bowl)
These are great for heating up that bowl of soup or chili or just about anything you can fit into a bowl and RE-HEAT in the microwave. You pick the whole thing up out of the microwave: bowl and all,l and place it on the table and "dig in". The nice thing about them is you do not need a pot holder and they are much easier to handle, and (of course) "they are washable".

Hi
This is Rita from RitasCreationsOnETSY.etsy.com (my old shop name) - my new ETSY shop is HandmadeBits4u.etsy.com.
Just wanted to clear up the copyright issue. The intent of the copyright statement is for the pattern itself - not the technique. If people figure how to do these on their own - no problem. If someone else writes a pattern for these that's alright - assuming of course it is their way of writing vs just copying mine.
This is a common statement that most authors who write eTutorials and sell them - whether on ETSY or on another online venue - add to their patterns. Since it is so easy for electronic files to be shared these days, authors do try to discourage blatant copying and sharing. Unfortunately there are a few sellers on ETSY and other online venues who do take advantage of the work of others and make it their own.
Hope this explanation helps. If you have any other concerns please let me know and I will be happy to address.
For those of you who do craft fairs, these have been great sellers for me!
Oh, and one more thing, please, please use the special Microwave Warm & Natural Tater Batting that is glue and resin free - don't want to start fires in the microwave with these. I have that the best price is Fabric.com. And don't make them so large that they touch the walls of the microwave (scorching or fires again could happen). I also only make the smaller ones as I'm concerned about leaving the larger ones in the microwave for longer periods of time - again its the scorching/fire thing. So I'm overly cautious that way.

I made some of these also and my family loves them. We heat our food and then put the bowl in the fabric bowls. It is great for eating ice-cream also. Hands don't get cold. I cut two 12" blocks and quilted them, folded each in half, from center fold I scooted over 1" and measured the bowl which was 31/2" from the top and made a dart. Same on the other end. Put them together like a pillow, turned and topstitched all around. I made one and quilted only one block and it did not turn out as well.so use batting on both blocks.
