I buy plain potholders for quick projects. I was going to give this one as a gift but after I stitched this out I decided to keep it for myself. Design is from here on cute embroidery.

Very pretty...do you cover the back with anything or use the same colors in the bobbin...or just stitch through the potholders?

Glad that I scroll and read all the comments because this is exactly what I wanted to know too.

I have just posted the same question
by marianamin2003 29 Jul 2015
Thank you. I stitch right through the potholder using black bobbin thread. I used a basting stitch on stabilizer prior to embroidering instead of fitting it in the frame. When finished, I cover the back with a piece of heavy duty felt that is widely available where I live. Then when I have to use it, I only use the felt side, trying to preserve the embroidery.

Beautiful! I hate to cook, so having a beautiful potholder brightens up that chore. This is very pretty.

Very pretty. Seems a lot of posts lately are kitchen related. Maybe someone is trying to give me a hint, lol. I agree with sjbrower that having beautiful accessories in the kitchen helps make the chore a little more tolerable. The red and black really set each other off nicely too.

Thank you. Yes, he smallest change in a kitchen can make everything feel new, and towels and potholders are easy to stitch.

Those roses really stitched out nicely! Good idea to keep the pot holders around for a quick gift.

Looks very nice.
Do you "open " design and close again afterwards, or do you sew with same color thread and bobbin ?

Thank you. I used black in the bobbin for this design.
