Why, oh why, am I so lame?? :-)
Soooo many of you have made your partners potholders. I've tried twice now and I can't make a decent potholder to safe my life! How do you people do it???? I get bumps and bulges, and when I get to the corner I have all this extra fabric!! I am about ready to be a total fit throwin', weenie-whiner because I can't seem to get a grip on this deceptively simple freakishly hard item. (pun intended)

Never give up....NEVER SURRENDER!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried to make them. What do y'all use for the filler to make a thermal barrier??
ReplyDeleteDon't feel alone Regina,
ReplyDeleteI too am 'Pot Holder Challenged'...so much so that I have become a "Pot Holder Drop-out!"
So I have resorted to crocheting them instead! lol!
>^..^<
I've tried and failed too...you're not alone ")
ReplyDeleteyou can thank me later :) hehehe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sipzCAflJQ8 this is sooo fast and sooo easy you'll make a pot holder in minutes. I've used charm packs for coasters and layer cakes for pot holders. Double your quilt batting for filler if you can find or have the therma stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know I am not alone. LOL Maybe we need a support group! ahahahhaha
ReplyDeleteHere's another video which may aid in making an oven mitt:

Also I use insulbrite inside the ones I make.
ReplyDeleteYou will do it! I'm sure of it~
ReplyDeleteI had great plans for potholder tuck-ins this time too, but I failed because I didn't get that far. Next time, I swear...
Practice makes perfect! I have had lots of mistakes with potholders. They are an art in themselves!
ReplyDeleteI guess potholders are like biscuits and pie crusts: simple ingredients, but finesse required to make it right. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'll keep at it.
