Using basic quilting supplies like a rotary cutter, walking foot, and zig-zag stitch, you’ll create a quilt sandwich with layers of cotton batting and backing fabric. The quilting process is a breeze, with straight lines and diagonal stitching creating a stunning quilted effect. And for extra durability and heat protection, consider adding extra layers of regular batting or thicker fabric to your pot holders.

I’ve even made hot pads using quilt blocks, tried a new technique by sewing it together exposing the raw edges, scraps of fabric and extra large hot pads. You can find a whole collection of hot pads here.

Sew Hot Pad tips: 

• Let’s talk about the quilt batting that you will want to use for hot pads.  Insul Bright batting is great if you are wanting it to protect against the heat.  I find that this batting works great, but if you double up your batting (using a layer of two pieces) this may give you enough protection. 
• Seam lines with this can be a little tricky.  There are many layers and you’ll want to sew slowly.  Use pins or clips to keep your layers together.  You can even use a spray basting to keep your batting pieces and the other layers of fabric together just before quilting.   Use a larger or longer stitch length when you are sewing all the layers together to avoid puckers and bunches of fabric. 
• Fat quarters are a great place to start when searching for your fabric.  It’s just long enough for the casserole hot pad. For your binding, look for larger pieces of fabric as you’ll be making bias binding for this because of the rounded corners. 

​Whether you’re making these quilted hot pads for yourself or as gifts for others, they’re sure to be a hit. 

From hot pots to casseroles, these extra-large hot pads are up to the task, offering both style and functionality in every stitch.

Materials Needed

• Wrap and Zap or regular cotton batting
• 2 pieces of batting / 8 x 24 inches
• 2 pieces of fabric / 8 x 24 inches
• 4 cotton fabric / 6.5 x 8 inches
• 2 pieces of batting / 6.5 x 8 inches
• 2 binding / 2 1/4 x 7 inches
• 1 binding / 2 1/4 x 56 inches (bias binding because of the curved edges)

Quilted Hot Pad – Casserole size with Pockets Instructions:

Step 1 – Cut 2 large pieces of cotton fabric and 2 pieces of batting that are all 8 x 24 inches for the main portion of the hot pad.

Step 2 – Cut 4 smaller pieces of cotton fabric and 2 pieces of batting that are all 6.5 x 8 inches for both pocket sections.

Step 3 – Round all 4 corners of the bigger rectangles and round the 2 bottom corners of the smaller rectangles. I used a cup, but you can use a plate or anything circular as the template. Draw on the fabric using the template.

Step 4 – Repeat with all pieces

Step 5 – Using spray adhesive, spray on each layer of the large pieces and smooth to secure all the layers together. You can use pins as well if needed.

Step 6 – Quilt the layers together. I stitched 2 inches or 1 1/2 inch apart.

Step 7 – Trim if needed around the whole piece

Step 8 – Layer the front, lining and batting for the pockets. Draw a line from corner to corner to make an X on the pocket. Stitch on the drawn lines to secure the layers.

Step 9 – Fold the binding pieces for the pockets in half, lining up the cut edges. Place the binding on the top edge of the pocket and stitch to secure to the pocket.

Step 10 – Fold the binding the other side and stitch in place. Repeat for both pockets.

Step 11 – Trim the binding if needed

Step 12 – Pin pocket in place, double check what side you are placing them on. Stitch along the pockets edge 1/8″ to secure in place. This stitching won’t show after the binding is added.

Step 13 – Trim the edges if needed before putting the binding on.

Step 14 – Fold the bias binding in place along the outside edge. Here is a tutorial on making bias binding. Stitch all the way around the whole hot pad.

Step 15 – Fold the binding to the other side and pin or clip in place. The curves should look really good because of the bias binding.
