Pot Holder Cutting Layout Fat 1/4 yd equals one piece 22" x 18"
12. Turn bias on Stack to the pieced side and begin to stitch along folded edge just covering stitching.
13. Insert raw edges of the Loop at one corner under bias edging before you stitch it down.
14. Flip the Loop up toward outside edge of bias edging. Stitch down along the outside edge. Stitching forward then back and forward to the center.
The two basic pattern pieces for this project are printed on the front and back cover. Open the project guide and lay flat to trace around pattern piece #1 and #2. Cut all pattern pieces 1 and 2 on the straight of grain by measuring from each end of the grain line on pattern piece to the selvedge edge of fabric as shown, assuring that they are the same distance (see example above). Once the first piece # 1 has been measured for straight of grain the next 3 pieces can begin on the cut edge of the previous piece without the need to measure again (see above). Page 1

Cut 1 piece of base fabric 9½" x 9½" Cut 1 piece of contrasting fabric 9½" x 9½" Cut 4 pieces of pattern piece 1 of base fabric Cut 4 pieces of pattern piece 1 of contrasting fabric
1. The Stack: Place two 9 1/2” x 9 1/2” pieces of heat reflective batting together, foil side out. Place 9½" x 9½" base fabric right side up on top of the two pieces of heat reflective batting; baste together 1/4" from edges of all 4 sides or use a temporary spay adhesive to hold the three pieces together. For second Pot Holder use contrasting fabric. 10. Overlap first end by 1" trimming off the excess bias and swing bias out slightly as shown above. 4½ inch gauge for loop 2. Place a Piece #1 of base fabric, right side up and diagonally on the side of stack with batting only.
11. The Loop: Using a ruler or the gauge from the back cover, cut a 4½" piece of bias with long edges folded in 3/8”. Fold in half lengthwise and stitch along long edge. Fold in half placing ends together as shown and stitch together.

4. Flip second piece right side up against batting and press both pieces flat. 7. Flip all pieces right side up and press flat.
5. With right sides together, place a Piece #1 of base fabric on top of contrasting fabric in the opposite direction with raw edges together. Stitch 1/4" seam, same as step 4.
8. Using Pattern Piece #2, center it in the stack, draw around it and then cut on the line.
6. With right sides together, place a Piece #1 of contrasting fabric on top of base fabric in the opposite direction with raw edges together. Stitch 1/4” same as step 4.
