Big Hot Pad Instructions

Use a 1/2 inch seam allowance.

Cut two layers of fabric measuring 11″ by 15″.

Cut two layers of batting measuring 10″ by 14″.

Baste the batting layers centered on the wrong side of one of your fabrics, leaving about 1/2″ on all edges. Baste between both of the batting layers to hold them together, too.

Lay the front and back fabric layers right sides together and line up the corners. The batting pieces will be on top of the stack.

Sew the fabric layers together 1/2″ from the raw edges. Line your needle up with the edges of the batting. Leave a 3″ opening on one of the long sides.

Clip the corners and trim and grade the fabric as shown. Grading seam allowance fabric reduces bulk – trim one layer to about 3/8″ and the other layer to about 1/4″.
