[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Sew a Fleece Pillow & Hot Pad classes

Mon Apr 5 10:51:18 UTC 2021

Hi,
I have some questions about the hot pad project:
What does "mitered" corners mean?
What is "faux binding"? 
What kind of sewing would we be doing and sewing what, the faux binding?
Thanks,
Lauren M.

Tammy R. is also offering a Hot pad sewing class in May. 

Supply list: If you would like to order a Mitsy Kit Hot Pad kit, it is on sale for $8.00 plus shipping; contents include the following:

- one ten inch cotton face square in your choice of 4 pattern options

- one 13 inch square with solid color for backing and faux binding  

- one 10 inch thermal batting square

- safety pins and plastic clips for assembly

The four pattern options include the following:

1) Coffee, Esspresso Hot Pad in off white with pictures of coffee cups, coffee beans, and text descriptions in brown, black and red.  Paired with black backing and faux binding.

2) Floral Hot Pad in light gray with pictures of large white, yellow, red and navy flowers and white butterflies.  Paired with navy blue backing and faux binding.

3) Kitchen Collander Hot Pad in light green with red and turquoise collanders filled with canning jars, recipe cards, wooden spoons and tomatoes and onions.  Paired with red backing and faux binding.

4) Hot Chili Pepper Hot Pad in black with red, green, yellow and orange hot peppers.  Paired with red backing and faux binding.

You will need to supply your own needle and thread, or you can purchase our sewing tool kits separately if needed.  Please have a container handy to put small clips into, a pin cushion, and a thimble may be helpful.  It could also be helpful to have a tray to work on to help contain any needles, pins or clips that might be dropped while sewing.

To order Mitsy Kit Hot Pad kits you can use the link below and let me known in order notes of your pattern choice.  You can also call me if you would like to order over the phone.

Supplies and preparation instructions if not buying Mitsy kit:

- one 10 inch cotton square in a color and pattern of choice.  This will be the primary pattern viewed on the hot pad.

- one 13 inch cotton square with solid color for backing and faux binding (it should be a color to coordinate with the 10 inch cotton square)

- one 10 inch thermal batting square (I like to use Insul-Brite.  This is not just regular quilt batting.  Whatever brand you buy, you need to make sure it is made to insulate from heat.)

- plastic clips and or straight pins for assembly. 

Happy Sewing

Tammy F.
