[Nfb-krafters-korner] Cindy, potholder project, was: Self Threading Sewing Machine Needles

[Dixie]

I am a bit confused.

I have a few questions:
1.  When we sew down the center of the potholder is it from top to bottom or
side to side? 2.   Where do we sew the potholder  onto the towel?  At the
fold mark we have just made?  
3.  Finally, where does the button get sewn onto?  I understand that the
loop on the potholder is the button hole, but where is the button placed?



Thanks,

 Dixie

I have a quick and easy project for you!  You purchase a pot holder and
kitchen hand towel that match or coordinate well together.  

Locate the middle of the hand towel usually they are folded this way anyway.
Sew down the center of the pot holder with the "pretty side" out to the hand
towel.  All you are doing is making one straight stitch which attaches the
pot holder to the hand towel.  The loop of the pot holder becomes the button
hole.  Line it up and sew on a large button.  Now this pot holder will go
around the handle of your oven door.  The button holds it in place.  

Quick easy gifts!
