Love how the mitred corners turn out. It was a fast, easy and very beautiful project. Thank you! I need to make these for gifts.
We're very happy you enjoy it! Thank you for watching! 💖 -Michelle
I LOVE this design - what a great idea! Just two pieces of fabric and some clever assembly. Awesome.
We're very happy you enjoy it! 💖 -Michelle
Such beautiful fabric. Fun and easy to sew. Yes they make great gifts.
We're happy you like this project. Thanks for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Hello! I hope you had an awesome day! I had a very busy but fun filled day in my sewing room ironing more fabrics and now I get to hand quilt. Thank you for posting your video.
We're happy you're having a successful week! Thanks sew much for tuning in!! 💖 -Michelle
I wouldn’t have done it without you sharing this method. Thank you so very much.❤
We're glad you enjoyed this fun project! Thanks so much for watching. ❤ -Michelle
Great tutorial from Jen as always..The possibilities are endless with fabric making this placemat. Thank you again..
We're happy you enjoy it! Thanks so much for watching! 💖 -Michelle
Years ago I purchased the Lil Sprout self binding receiving blanket from Shabby. It sat in its packaging until just recently I pulled it out to make the blanket. What was I waiting for it was so much fun, easy and adorable. I gifted it to a newborn who’s parents requested I make something for their new arrival. I will be making these lovely placements too. Thank you. All of your tutorials and the newest At Home tutorials are great.
We're glad to hear that you enjoy these self-binding projects. They're definitely easy to create and gift. Thank you for sharing your sweet gifting story with us! 💖 -Michelle
What a magical pattern!! Such an easy pattern with a lovely, elevated look! Thank you! 💛🌻💛
We're happy you like it! Thank you for your comment. -Michelle
Beautiful idea thank you. Always having the right tools make projects easier
We're very glad you enjoyed this project! Thank you for watching! 💖 -Michelle
This is brilliant! I can see that it would be easy to adjust the measurements to make a table runner too. For another variation, you could piece the centre section.
I have used your grocery bag technique to make many Christmas gifts. I just started some for Christmas 2022.
Your 'magic' pillowcases are another favourite. Thank you so much!
That's absolutely correct. It is so easy to scale this project into other sizes. Thanks for watching! -Bethany

I love watching you and listening to your gentle voice. During this pandemic I have made at least 200 of those self binding receiving blankets for donation. I was a flannel hoarder. I can’t wait to use this method for placemats. Thanks so much for this tutorial.
Thank you for your kind words. We're glad that these types of projects inspire you. Thanks for watching!! 💖 -Michelle

The place mats are absolutely beautiful
We're glad you enjoy them! Thanks so much for watching! -Michelle
I have a bunch of Christmas fabric to placemat and napkin sets with for a craft show. I love this idea since they do not require batting plus I already make the napkins with mitered corners. Might use a decorative stitch in a contrasting color for sewing around the placemat for closing. Thank you for another new idea.
We're happy you enjoy this delightful project!! Thanks sew much for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Thank you so much! I had to watch several times to see how those corners were sewn. I made my border 1” so it ended up looking like a binding. Perfect! Just what I wanted. Thank you! Made one for my nightstand.
Woohoo! We're so glad you enjoyed this fun project! Thanks so much for watching. -Michelle
Thank you Jen for such a clear tutorial - even for showing your “mistake”. We all do these things, but you showed us how to just carry on and sort it out. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind comment, Jen! We are glad you enjoy this fun placemat project. -Michelle
Jen, those place mats are just stunning.
We're happy you enjoy this great project. Thanks for watching! -Michelle
Thank you for the tutorial, very informative, loaded with tips.
I made these, with your help, turned out beautiful.
I love your attention to detail in every video I've watched.
Thank you again!
Hi kathrynann1949 - You won't be suing your applique to the mat/sheet you are using for placement. If you're using the Silicone Appli-Fuse mat, the sticky on the back of the applique shapes doesn't tend to stick to the mat. Hope this makes sense! -Michelle
Gosh, these are just beautiful. I just bought a kit from your site! I’m so glad they are still in stock. I’ll be ready for next Christmas 😇
We're so happy this project inspires you! Thank you very much for watching. -Michelle
This was the best Tutorial/ training. Nothing was left to question. Thank you!
We're glad this project has inspired you! Thank you very much for your comment. -Michelle
Thank you love this. Gorgeous!
Glad you like it!! Thank you! 💖 -Michelle
I do like to make placemats for each month/season and have most months already done. But I love this simple technique for the binding! Wish I had seen this much earlier. But from this point on, I will be using this fantastic idea! 😊Thanks for sharing it! ❤
We are very happy that you found us and excited for you to get into this project! Thank you for your support and comment! 😊❤️ - Abby
A very cool project. I use placemats every day. Great gifts for Christmas.
They really are! We're glad you like them! 💖 -Michelle
Love, love this tutorial. I plan to give it a try, thank you!
We look forward to hearing about your success with this project! Thank you for watching! 💖 -Michelle
That poinsettia fabric is beautiful!
We're happy you enjoy it, Peeshy! Thanks so much for watching! 💖 -Michelle
Thank you for the placement download. I was washing fabric today. Now I have the perfect pattern. My fabric is covered with gingerbread kids. I'll pair it with red dotted fabric. I hope you all enjoy Christmas. Hi from Connecticut.🌷🌷
We're so happy you enjoy this fun design! Thanks so much for watching!! ❤️ -Michelle

I'm self binding everything! Mind... Blown!
Happy that you enjoyed this tutorial! It is such a great project! Thanks for your comment! - Abby
You are the best sewing instructor. You explain everything so good. Thank you so very much 🤗
Glad you enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Thanks, this is beautiful. One thing I do to help myself - on the opening for turning, while still right sides together, I use my hera marker to crease a fold line, just lining up my ruler on the seam and then creasing the gap with the creasing tool. Helps me because I'm so sloppy at closing those openings. I don't know why I can't be as neat as you. I hope you get to enjoy friends and family this year. I've missed those gatherings, too. Thank you for the tutorial.
Great suggestion! Thank you for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Going to try this on my new set. Thanks😊
So beautiful. Thank you so much!

Love this pattern. Thank you. Definitely going to make.
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for watching!! -Michelle
I love this pattern. Thank you! I added a pretty stiff fusible interfacing to the top before sewing. It keeps the placemat a bit more stable.
How fun!! We're glad you like it!! ❤️ -Michelle
I just love simplicity of your tutorials and the detail of explaining each step.lt’s an inspiration for us all to make these thank so much.
We're happy you enjoy them! Thanks so much for commenting! -Michelle
Stunning...that poinsettia fabric is to die for. I'm using up a small hoard of fabrics from over the decades, and thought of making them into table place mats/runners - thus landing on your great video. Boy did I over think that project...first try: interfacing + sheet of poly fill + quilting...ugh. Then this video...simplified and certainly easy. I bought a bolt of Pellon 808 Craft Fuse (it's single-fusible stabilizer) so I'll add that to add body (and to use it up!). I love how your pattern skips the step of edge binding by using the back fabric as the binding. Genius! :) Keep up the good ideas!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! We're so glad this fun project has inspired you :) -Michelle
Thanks for simple method for mitered corners, I use it in making baby receiving blankets. Great tutorial!!
We're happy you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for your comment! 💖 -Michelle
Beautiful!!! I've done the self binding blankets, so I could do this!
You totally can! We're happy this tutorial inspired you! -Michelle
Hello, Beautiful. Great tutorial. Love how you take your time to explained each step. Thank you so much 😊
We're happy you like this fun project. Thanks for watching!! -Michelle
This is such a cool technique! Thank you for sharing!
We're so happy it inspires you! Thank you very much for watching! 💖 -Michelle
I recently purchased some Christmas fabric . I had no idea what to make with it and lo and behold I came across this fabulous tutorial. Jen makes it look so easy and fun. My family will be excited to receive such exquisite placemats. Thank you Jen and all of you for constantly showing me how to better my sewing skills
We’re happy this project inspires you!! We’d love to see your project when you finish, so don’t forget to tag us in your project photos 😊 -Michelle

Thank you for this wonderful idea! This is absolutely an easy way!!!
We're very happy this project inspired you! Thanks for commenting! ❤ -Michelle
Great video and idea for gifts throughout the year 🙂
Yes, these are perfect for gifting! Thank you for watching. 💖 -Michelle
I think I would put some of the warm fleece (padding) inside to protect table from hot plates and just stitch it down in the final closing of the seam. So pretty! I know my gifts this year!
Great suggestion! Thank you for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Thank you for a great tutorial!
Glad you enjoyed it! 💖 -Michelle
Love love it. And so simple!! Thank you😊
We are happy that you love it! It is a great project! Thank you for your comment! 😊 - Abby
Love this. Thank you. I'm pretty new to quilting.
We're happy you enjoy this fun project!! Thank you for watching. 💖 -Michelle
Thanks for the way you explained the steps for the corners. I’ve made dozens of the self-binding baby blankets. Every so often I start a new batch and stitch the wrong way on the corner. When you do that, btw, you get a box instead of a flat piece! 😀
We're happy you enjoy this tutorial. Thanks sew much for watching!! 💖-Michelle
Thanks for the warning!
Love this. I needed a way to enlarge my placemats as didn't have enough width for height and this technique will make that possible. Thank you!
We're very happy that this project has inspired you! Thanks for commenting!! -Michelle
Such an enjoyable tutorial
Thank you very much! We're glad you like it! 💖 -Michelle
Thank you for this simple, well made and well described instructional video. I’m making 8 placemats for my new Amish made table.
That's wonderful! We're so glad you enjoy this great project! Thanks for your lovely comment. -Michelle
Easy peasy! I made Momma a Christmas set and she loves them. The back fabric was the same and the top fabric was different. I keep wondering who else needs a set! Thank you!
We're so happy you enjoyed this quick project! Thank you very much for watching. ♥️ -Michelle
These are so easy. I have been looking for a project to teach my granddaughter to sew. No fancy tricks, just beautiful results. Thank you so much.
We’re so glad this project inspires you! Thanks so much for your fun comment :) -Michelle
Love it! Thank you!
We're glad you like it! Thanks for watching! 💖 -Michelle
Very pretty & looks rather easy too. I like the idea of making some as a gift for both daughters, a housewarming gift, or as a gift to my own table. My personal table is oblong in shape, & I’m thinking of making a single one, longer in length tho, to place in the center, as a centerpiece, then placing a small candle (or another object) that compliments the theme of the centerpiece placemat. My kitchen has a “John Deere” theme, therefore I would use something that would compliment that. I have several ideas now to make to maybe show different season themes. Such as Halloween, an upcoming birthday, Resurrection, a Patriotic theme, or even a baby shower…just endless possibilities. Thank you for this video. God Bless 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
What a wonderful idea! We're happy this project has inspired you!! 💖 -Michelle
Thanks for sharing this I will be making these for Christmas gifts
We're happy this project has inspired you! Thanks for watching!! 💖 -Michelle
Magic!!!!!
I didn’t use this for making a placemat.
I needed some way to bind (and line) something quite thick and easily frayed.
This worked a treat!!!!!
