Make sure you use cotton thread! also the batting resistant batting is called Insulite. There are other brand name heat resistant batting under other brand names. Shiny side should be facing down on the palm side of the mitt so the heat will not penetrate the mitt. This is by far the best tutorial I have found on TH-cam! Thank you for posting this video! ❤😁
Thank 😊 you can't wait to start this awesome project. I do have a Question please I had an old oven mitts and opened it up. But there was only 💯 cotton batting? And even the bowel cozy? I'm a bit confused 😕 as to the other layer. I was hoping you could explain it to Me better. Thank you 😊 💓
It seems like the lining should be made slightly smaller than the exterior. When I made them both equal, there was about an inch or so of extra fabric on the lining when sewing the openings together. Also I think hand sewing the bias binding is the only way. Even when removing the free arm from my BabyLock machine, I still couldn't get the mitt around the other arm or the layers all under the presser foot.
Yes, I didn't see it either and was wondering. So, now my top piece and my thermal stuff is quilted but not my inner piece or my outer piece. Never mind. Found it.
Thanks for the video. If I wanted to embroider my name, would I do that first before using the batting or do I quilt the batting on the fabric & then embroider?
Hi Twanna! That's an excellent question. I guess it depends on how thick your outer fabric is. If it's quite sturdy then I would embroider first and then quilt together. If your outer fabric is quite thin then you may need to go through both the outer fabric and the batting.
Hope you found the broken needle piece before your hubby did. Out of curiosity, ever heard of anyone that had a broken needle fly up and hit them in the eye? That would be my fear.

That's fantastic advice! Thank you for being so helpful. You are an absolute asset to this crafting community! xx
Also, make sure the reflective part of the thermal wadding is toward the outside fabric. It reflects the heat
That's an excellent tip.
Your tutorials are so detailed with perfection and easy to learn 😊 👌
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching and your kind comment! xxx
Very nicely explained thanks so much
I would love to see how you connect the bias binding edges to make it look neat / tidy. Thank you
For the one side I put right sides together and machine stitched together. Then I folded it over the edge and hand sewed the other side. x
Hand stitching looks very nice and insures you are getting it evenly attached.
Very detailed, thank you! 🙂
You’re welcome 😊
Sorry, it was me but I have corrected it. Love your tutorial.
No worries!

Thank you 😊 💓
Yes, you can absolutely just use 100% cotton batting. I use the reflective stuff because it works better as a heat resistant layer.
It is called Insulite in the USA. There are other brand named heat resistant batting as well.
Love this video, love the accent also and Thank You! 👍😃
Oh you sweetheart. You've made my day😊

Some machines come with a sleeve attachment. I had to hand sew it as it wouldn't fit round my machine arm .
just trim the extra off after sewing the batting on. It will also take some of the bulk out.
Very nice
Thanks xx
Thank you for the tutorial. You only used the thermal wadding and NO cotton wadding? Thank you for the answer.
No she didn't. She used both of them
The thermal wadding is quilted to the outer fabric and the cotton wadding is sandwiched around the liner fabric. Hope that helps xx

Thank you for the great tutorial! I dont know how to add a photo of the finished product, sorry.
Glad it was helpful! Please feel free to tag me in a pic on Facebook or instagram if you would like to me your finished mitt. I'd love to see it! x
Hi what's the best fabric to use to make oven mitts?
I would recommend a 100% cotton fabric for the outer and an insulated wadding for the inner.
Cotton! Synthetics will melt.
Cotton duck or 100% cotton demin would work too. They are thicker cotton fabrics though.
I love it! Thank You!
Your welcome 😃
@@TodayweCraft :)
Ive got isabrite batting too
Great minds think alike.

@@TodayweCraft ok. Thank you so much for responding. I'm looking forward to working on this project. Thanks again! 🙂
Ok I subscribed. Will an Angel get his wings? Or is that another story?
Subscribing reduces your chances of running out of thread mid-project by 61%.
lol ❤
How did you finish the binding to not have raw edge?
I machine sewed one side and then hand stitched the other.
Can I use poly thread or best to use cotton?
Yes you can. I used cotton just in case but unless you're really holding something very hot for a long period I can't imaging it would be a problem.
Hope you found the broken needle piece before your hubby did. Out of curiosity, ever heard of anyone that had a broken needle fly up and hit them in the eye? That would be my fear.
Fortunately I did! Always a risk tho. I can't say that I have ever heard of a piece flying up.
I don’t understand how to find the template to download??
You can find the link to the template in the video description x
Hmm, I've subscribed because I don't want to be responsible for all the needle breakages. But I can;t find the Happy Dance. Didn't you video it? LOL!
Oh, my happy dance only gets shown at very special occasions. Mostly involving gin.
All that batting is too thick, I just used a piece of insul brite...worked great for me
That explains why my needle broke, 3 times!
Ye have been warned! x
because of thickness of the layers. You can use a walking stick attachment.
Where is the template?
