I have struggled with the binding, even bought a gadget that was so supposed to make it so much easier, NOT. Your method made it easy and simple to understand. I've been following your tutorials for about a year and have completed projects with ease and I'm always pleased with the outcome.
Hi Jennifer, I'm from Brazil and I love your videos. And I'm happier because I can understand everything you explain. You do not talk too fast and that's great. You're a great teacher, very didactic. Thank you! 😻
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying the tutorials! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment :)
Love all your tutorials, I’ve learned so much from your videos. I still don’t understand how to download, I would love to get the exact pocket shape and Letters. Thank you

And now you can use a Folded Corner Clipper for the binding end!! It's great. I used your method until that ruler came out. With very small projects I have to join straight seams. Lovely fabrics, and thanks for the tip in insulate batting, I always get confused!
Thanks for watching! You're absolutely right about the Corner Clipper for binding! We LOVE it for that. Let us know how these turn out for you, we'd love to hear! - Morgan
love this tutorial. I wrote to the makers of insulbrite as I couldn't work out which was the right side to use. they informed me there isn't a right or wrong side as the insulation is sandwiched between two pieces of thin batting which is then needle punched making either side being right.
+Dorien Reed Good to know. I've used Insulbrite before and didn't really pay attention to what would be the right or wrong side. I have found that you can't use it by itself to protect you from the hot object, you really do need to add at least one more layer of regular batting in your project so you don't get burned.
for the people who want to learn how to make continuous bias binding from a fat quarter watch McCalls video on how to make it. I spent two days trying to figure it out and watched that video and it was a breeze once I learned the trick of marking the top and bottom edges with #1 and the sides with # 2. It was the key.
Wonderful tutorial. I have made a few of these now, the issue I am having is with my machine. With so many layers to go through, I am getting looping at the needle and skipped stitches. May I ask if you have had this issue and if not what type of machine are you using. Thank you so much for all the great tutorials.
Hi Chris - In our experience, some of the more light weight machines tend to skip stitches when going through very thick layers of material, so we would suggest increasing the presser foot pressure to keep the layers together. Glad you like this project! -Michelle
Hi Jennifer, thanks for this tutorial I’m in the processes of making one for Thanksgiving to take to the hosts home with the food. What I did ,I had fall 10inch fall fabric so I cut them up quilted them together and then put the full layer cake as the backing so far so good . Can you machine sew the binding?
Thanks for watching Linda! Yes, you can machine sew the binding. If you sew the binding to the back of your project first then you can turn to the front and sew with a decorative stitch on top.
Jen - where do I find the measurements that you mention in you video about what your oven mitt was cut to and that the information is available on the Shabby Fabrics website . I found the template and fabric requirements but can't find the "cut to" measurements. Your video is wonderful and so easy for a beginner like me to follow. Have my material ready and waiting for a reply and hoping that you are still notified about questions since the video is 4 years old.
Here is that download that you are asking for: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Assets/Downloads/DoubleOvenMitt_forDownload.pdf Glad you enjoy our videos! - Yajaira
Hi Jennifer! What thread did you use in the machine, and machine needle size? As a beginner, I find I need to learn a lot more about knowing what type (not color) of thread and sewing machine needle I'm supposed to use for a project. Thank you for another wonderful video!!
+Sherry Buras Great questions! Unless otherwise stated we always use MasterPiece thread by Superior Thread. A standard needle that comes with your machine will work with this project! Here is a link to all of our MasterPiece Thread: www.shabbyfabrics.com/MasterPiece-Thread-C1627.aspx
+Shabby Fabrics Thank you! So it's ok to use 50 wt (this weight thing is still confusing) for projects, even rag quilts? Or is there a different weight for those?
We do not have a tutorial specifically for Finger mitts; however, we have a heart shaped oven mitt that is very similar. Here is a direct link to where this can be found on our TH-cam tutorials. th-cam.com/video/m01WTab4dmE/w-d-xo.html If you have any further questions please let me know as I am always happy to help! :) -Kyla
Thanks so much for this wonderful tutorial. The only area in which I struggled was in having enough binding to completely cover all the layers. The binding covered the sides but not the ends with the pockets on top. Could I have used even thicker binding? 3 inches instead of 2.5 strips?
+Ellen Morris this collection is called Calico Days and we do have it available! Here is a link to it: www.shabbyfabrics.com/Riley-Blake/Calico-Days.aspx
Love watching your tutorials. I have learned so much from you. I was wondering where do you get the monograms? I have looked at several places and on line, I can not seem to find the style you have. Thank you for all of your videos..
In order to create bias binding from a Fat Quarter, you will first cut your FQ on a 45 degree angle then cut 2.5 inch strips from the triangles created from you 45 degree cut! You will cut enough to create your 90" of binding. Please let us know if you have additional questions!
Hi, new to sewing. Found this and would love to make as gifts. When you say binding strip, is that the same as bias tape? And is 2.5 inches the width once it's folded? Thanks!
Bias tape and binding strips are essentially the same thing. Bias tape comes pre-made, so you're limited on sizes and colors, but you can make your own binding strips (or bias tape) with whatever fabric you like. You'll start with 2.5 inches, unfolded, and then fold as directed and sew 1/4" seam allowance to attach it to the front and back. Let me know how else I can help! - Morgan
I love this but I am still confused about the place before you cut the binding. Your head was in the way when you showed were to measure from/to. The left part of the binding you cut 2 1/5 " toward the right of the pin?? Then on the right part of the binding you cut 2 15" to the pin? Is that correct? Thank you.
Hi Donna! After reviewing the video, when Jen is cutting the binding, the first end she measures is cut 2.5" from the pin. The second end she cuts is measured and cut at where the pin rests. Let us know if you have any other questions! ~Leah
Kind of confusing. Did you sew the pockets before you put them on the long piece? Did you use something to make the pockets stick together as it looks like they might be fused together.
+puchinita1 the pockets are sewn in place when the binding is added around the entire mitt. You can pin them in place before adding the binding to ensure they stay put. The pockets on the oven mitt that we made were put together using fusible batting and were also stitched together when we added that Shabby Shape. You can see her talk about that process at around 4:30. Hopefully that helps clear up some confusion! Let me know if you need additional clarification :)
HI ....another wonderful tutorial! Anxious to make these for gifts! Just a gentle reminder....when you turn away from the camera and speak....your voice disappears! Thanks again..........Loretta
Hi Kathleen - It may be helpful if you emailed us some photos of your project at support@shabbyfabrics.com so we could maybe see what you're referring to. When printed, the double oven mitt pocket template should measure 8"w x 9.5"h. Hope this helps :) -Michelle

+Carla Hazelton the pin is right in the middle of our oven mitt but this technique can be applied wherever you want the seam of your binding closure to be!
Hi Becky- We did not quilt the outer layer of the pockets on the oven mitt we created, but you can if you choose to. Please let us know if you have any more questions! 🤗 -Michelle
