Great tutorial! I like the idea of using denim. I will have to give these a shot!

Thank you for sharing the tut, and it's a great way to recycle your bits/pieces of fabric. Great job too!

Thank you for the great tute :D:D:D

Great idea. I don't mind binding a quilt, but I don't like binding small thing. I hang my potholders so I'll have to add a loop. Thanks for posting, it will go in my bookmark file.

great tute, thanks.

Thanks Butterfly Blue!!! I had just been wasting time on this board, trying to convince myself that I should really go sandwich this quilt that I'm making for my DGD's BD when i saw your tute. Aha! That's what i really want to do right now! So here they are...a pair of potholders i just made after reading your tute. Thanks for giving me a reason to put of the sandwiching until tomorrow!

Thank you! I always wondered how to use the backing as the "binding" Great tutorial!

They would make awesome holders for the microwave dishes, regular pot holders are too big. they are cute!

Great Tute! Thanks for sharing.

I made Valentines potholders for friends.

Awesome! Thanks for the tute!

Thank you so much for the potholder tutorial. When ever my hubby's jeans are too wore out to wear in public and are retired to the trash bin I will cut out the good section and save. So now I have a use for them.

Thanks for the tute. I've been needing to make some for a while now. You have inspired me to get busy.

Wonderful! Thanks!

great tute

Kathy Kat - nice work, I love the fabrics you used!

Patty S - my husband's work jeans are so stained and faded when he's done with them that potholder filling is all they are good for! I wouldn't want to use them in a denim quilt where you could actually see them.

I love to give potholders as gifts because nearly everyone needs them, but no one ever thinks to buy any.

I laughed when I read this because I recently made my mom three or four. I was looking through her kitchen drawers, and I kid you not, she has potholders that are over 20 years old (I know, because one was a mother's day gift I made at school and it had the date on it).

I love this but how do you hang it up, or do you just have to leave it lay on the counter?

bookmarked thanks!!

Thanks for the tut. Since I really, really need new pot holders this will be a quick way to get some. Also, I think I will use the opprotunity to practice some FMQ on them since they are for me.

Thanks! I forgot to say that I had some Insulabrite left over so I used that for the batting. They turned out to be thinner than using denim and are very flexible but I worried that they wouldn't be thick enough. I used them last night and didn't burn my hands so that's good.
I have tons of denim jeans that friends have given me that I hope to make a couple quilts for picnic and beach use and a couple of tote bags. Now I know I can use some of it for potholders too.

Thank you for the great tute.

Great tutorial!! Would certainly like to see more are clear and concise as this one is!!!!! Keep up the good work!!

Thanks for the tute, great rooster fabric in your pictures!

Wonderful! Thanks so much for posting.

I bet these are not as bulky as the ones you buy.......Thanks

Thanks looks like a fun project.

Great tutorial! Thanks - can't wait to try this one out!

This is just what I have been looking for .Thanks

Thank you for this tutorial as I have tried making potholders and they just didn't look all that good. Now I can have good edging.

Great tutorial....now if I make 50 of these, I wonder if I can quilt them on the longarm? Hmmm, I will have to give this a lot of thought. You could make the mug mats like this as well....great tutorial, I will be referring to it again...and again, lol. Michelle G. in El paso

Well, as I do them, you don't hang them up. If you wanted to add a loop, you'd have to figure out a way. Maybe just tack it on the back? I've seen them done that way.

I have potholders in two places in my house - stacked under a cabinet and scattered over my kitchen table. Hanging them is kind of a foreign concept to me. :)

Thanks so much Butterflyblue those look so simple and I have a few "squares" of things that I can use. Would make Easy Easy Christmas Gifts too. Wow Thanks and I WILL show this to my mom. Is there a way that this can be emailed to me?

If there is a way, I don't know it. My only suggestion would be to cut and paste each individual post into a word document and then attach it to an email.

thanks for the tutorial, I am saving it in my bookmarks

Very nice. Thanks

What a great tutorial - I have several UFO's I think I can use up using this method.

I've been wanting to make some potholders - I love these, they have such personality and I like the way you show holding your binding in place. Thank you so much for sharing :)

I never can remember how to turn the corner up to make the miter corner. To me that was the best tip. Thanks. Trying to figure out how to include a loop. Think I have it in my feeble mind, just need to apply it.
