yes, i'm having fun this year using the 'new to me' embroidery machine i got off of craigslist. have spent a small fortune in thread, stabilizer and hoops, but it's lots of fun. except today, i got 10/11ths of the way through an embroidered snowman and my needle bent because the thread got tangled. ugh. put that one in the trash

Patty ~ Nice job on the crazy quilt potholders and what a wonderful gift. I'm going to buy that template for sure.
My question for you: How did you get the binding to look so neat & perfectly matched? At first I thought you had pieced scraps, but on closer look I am wondering if you used the "pillowcase" turn method instead of adding binding? Nita

not sure if that is the pillowcase turn method or not, but it's pretty easy!

That is a beautiful pot holder!. Love the embroidery touch too. I also have an em machine but have not learned how to do much beside quilt labels. Yes, I have spent quite a bit on threads and stabilizers too, just need the time to "explore"
