straight hooks through all layers to ensure that they're together. Now
sew right across the center of the stack. Sew over the middle again,
verticle with respect towards the first stitching. You'll have divided
the square into 4 squares. Sew over the stack again from corner to
corner, and again in the other corner to corner. The layers ought to be
became a member of and durable now.

corner, fall into line the perimeters from the tape using the edges from
the potholder, and begin stitching through all layers across the first
fold line, which is about 1/4 inch in the edge. Stitch nicely and
gradually, affixing the opened up tape all over the edge before you
achieve the start corner. Cut the prejudice tape off, departing 3
inches, (7 centimetres.) to create right into a hanging loop.

Fold the prejudice tape within the raw edge to ensure that the center
fold lines track of the outdoors from the potholder and yet another fold
is hiding the raw fringe of the prejudice tape. Now, for the best
results, hands sew the binding lower, developing a loop in your creative
handicraft when you are getting towards the finish.
