A quick easy addition... add a magnet inside 1 corner and stitch across the corner so the magnet won't travel. Then it's always handy on the fridge! A thin sheet of tissue paper will keep the grippy from sticking to your machine.
thanks for explaining this, Tim. Would make a great housewarming gift for new homeowners with handmade cloth napkins and oven tea towels♥ we new sewers need more beginner projects in the future.
That was an excellent tutorial. You’re a great educator. I like how you explained everything in detail. But in a way that was easy to understand. Happy to have found you 😊
What a great idea! I love the Hulk material. It's perfect for this. You always have such great project ideas and your instructions are easy to follow. I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you🙂
This is a great project. I have a jar gripper, but to make one like you did in the video is just genius. I'm so going to make some for family members. Thank you again.
I am totally shocked, never thought to sew from right hand side, to open inside out... then go around and stop where you showed, for the 2-3 inch opening. That would save A LOT of time and thread. Thank you so much.
Always looking for ways to use left over mask material. I had a lot of masks cut out when most people stopped wearing them! You can’t give those leftover masks away! Everyone is just sick of masks!😂
I use the gripper fabric sewn on a drying dish pad for my sewing machine as a pad. Cuts noise, doesn't slip when I'm sewing. Way cheaper than buying a sewing machine mat for sure!
Just found your channel with Easter bunny tutorial. Looking forward to following your tutorials. I agree that large patterns look much better centered on the fabric. This is an easy but great project. Have a great day!
I came back to this video for your suggestions. I am going to add a loop so I can hang this on the side of my refrigerator. My fear is that my husband may grab it and think it is a potholder. Good tutorial. Thank you.
Love this quick and easy gift. I was just sewing one and thought...why not add a hanging tab so I can keep it in plain sight in my kitchen. Otherwise it will get lost in the junk drawer!
I hope Tim does not mind if I answer this question. My great grandmother hand -sewed many quilts. You could buy pre-cut fabric squares from a fabric store, quilt shop, or Walmart. Also buy a needle for hand sewing and spool of thread. Thread the needle, tie a knot, and mimic a sewing machine by poking the needle in and out of both layers of material. Remember, one layer is cut from a shelf liner. Look up hand sewing tutorials on TH-cam to see how hand sewing is done. You may try to learn how to do the blanket stitch on TH-cam. I am not sure how to describe it. You could also try using a spray adhesive (glue) and skip the sewing. Good luck! 😊

Great idea!
So smart! Now I wish I had included that idea!!

Thanks!!
Superb explanation and demonstration, especially of why you trim the corners at greater than 45° for the turning. Thanks, Timothy. ☺️

It’s a lovely way to personalize it. Have fun!
Looks like a fun, as well as decorative, project! Thank you, Tim.

Great idea!

Nice quick project. I like your choice of gripper fabric and the fussy cutting to get a nice print or graphic on the opener.
Thanks! I like little projects like this because they’re quick but still challenge me to use good techniques.
Just saw this a year later. I would never have thought of this idea. Thank you so much!
What a great little easy project. It reminds me of fabric coasters I make.
Cushioned material is easier on arthritic hands!
Very good point!
Now I won't have to bang the handle of my dinner knives. 🍽️ on the lid to break the seal anymore 😅
Wonderful project

Such a great idea!! If I ever start making short videos for TH-cam and TikTok I will add that into a short tutorial of this item. Thanks!!
Great Video. TY
Which do you think will last longer when you have to wash them. The gripper with holes or like what you used.
I don’t know. If you make both and test, please let me know!
How do I sew the top stitch. The rubber stuff will not go under/thru the presser foot?
You may need to use a teflon foot.
How do I send you a picture of my birds nest on my jar opener
How can I make this I don't know how to sew or have a sewing machine
I hope Tim does not mind if I answer this question.

TMI for a beginner. Forget trying to get the emblem in the center, just show how to cut the sq.
