Hanging Loop or No Loop on Potholder?

I keep mine in a drawer, no need for a loop, I think if you have the type of kitchen that you can display them, the loop would be fine, but once they have been used and washed they aren't so display worthy. I personally don't care, but the loop wouldn't be necessary. In making several, the loop is the hardest to make look nice. So my vote would be no loop.

Personally ... I have never hung a pot holder from a hanger in my life. I keep a few on the counter next to the stove so they are ready/easy to grab. I keep the remainders in a drawer and swap them out for laundry.

I would do it as an option for them. All my oven mitts and potholders have loops but I don't hang anything on my oven doors nor my refrigerator. Not even magnets. Hate when I see dish towels hanging through the refrigerator door or oven door. Tacky to me! Still would give them the option.

I like doing the hanging loops on potholders. I start my binding at a corner and go around the pot holder doing my nice square corners. I leave an extra bit of binding on the last corner so I can sew over the starting raw edge and use the extra binding for the loop. This way I am not bothered by having to do a binding join.
