The Log Cabin Quilted Pot Holder

Items to Collect
- We have put together some great kits for this sew along. Everything you need, aside from thread, is included in the kit. We have lots of options left on the website. Purchase of these kits allow us to create sew along lessons for you. Click here to view them all.
- For this project you will need 100% cotton thread. I usually pick mine up at my local Hobby Lobby. The thread for this project must be 100% cotton so it does not melt when you place a hot pot or pan on your pot holder.
- You will also want quilting pins to sew this project. These are my favorite quilting pins! They are crystal headed so do not melt when you press over them with a hot iron. They are also the perfect length for going through multiple layers of fabric and batting.
- A walking foot can make sewing through thick layers of batting much easier. It's not a necessity, but if you have one, you might want to grab it. And if you don't, but want to try a new foot, you can find some here. Just make sure you buy one that fits your machine.
- Wonder Clips are also nice for working with bindings. These little clips are great too for delicate fabrics that you worry about pin holes when pinning, such a swim fabric, rayon, voile, etc. If you don't own Wonder Clips I highly suggest putting them on your notions shopping list. These mini clips by Clover would be perfect for this small project.
- A new to me find are these Fiskars Titanium Easy Action Scissors.
These are life!! They stay super sharp and are so easy for my hands to
cut with. I love them so much I bought a second set and gave my older
and more expensive scissors to my 11 and 13 year old to use.
- I also love this little handy Seams Right measuring guide and use it every time I sew. You will see me using it during this sew along.
- One other measuring tool I couldn't live with out is this handy Sewing Gauge. Yup, you will see me using mine during this sew along.
- And
finally, you will need a sewing machine, a good iron (a steam
iron is preferable for sewing), a quilting ruler, and maybe a fabric marker/pen or chalk.
Things to Do
- You DO NOT need to pre-wash your fabrics for this sew along. In fact I highly discourage you from doing so.
- Press your fabrics and batting to remove wrinkles if needed. Just be careful to not stretch out your batting in the process.
- Text SEW to (712) 481-2480 to receive text alerts each time the sew along lessons are posted.
- And don't forget to join our Whimsical Fabric & Me Group so you can post your progress pictures!
This sew along will consist of 2 lessons that will go live on Tuesday and Thursday, December 7th and 9th, 2021.
Happy Sewing,
