I have had these placemat forms forever and have "feared" doing them. Thank You! I've also seen a tutorial on folding this shape placemat into a "box" / small bin. I have one of these forms without fabric on it, already held in shape with big clips, the sides are about 3" high folded up with corners secured. I was unsure about sewing the corners of this bosal material, but after watching you I see its easy! Just didn't want to break or gum up a needle! Thank You!!

Jen remember that the clear side of the wonder clips is the down side when using. Getting the form inside of the placemat reminds me of putting on compression socks. I would leave the the trimming of the shape until after sewing so you can make sure that you leave a good 1/2” since the form fits so snug inside in order to make sure that there is no chance of the seams tearing and you can do a little clipping on the curve area so it lies flat., so it might be a good idea to reduce your stitch length also. Another tip would be to steam press the fabric before turning inside out for that will also add in getting that outer seam to lye flat. As soon as I saw the finished placemats in the beginning, I thought it would look really nice to use a piping around the outer edge. Use your double needle for the top stitching for then you can get really close to edge but then have another edge stitching. Use a coordinating bobbin thread and two different coordinating thread on top.

Thanks Shabby Fabrics for another great tutorial. I found the comments very helpful as well. I'm just wondering if these placemats with the insert are washable and dryer proof? Will the insert shrink, shift or melt from the heat of the drying cycle? If anyone knows please let me know 👍

@ShabbyFabrics Жыл бұрын

Hi joanne ferec - The package for this Bosal Oval Placemat form states that it is "machine washable and drycleanable". We would definitely not recommend placing in the dryer, but you can machine or hand wash these placemats and air dry. You can always also iron them again after they are dry to help shape. Hope this helps! -Michelle

Additionally, you could trim the ovals to more of a square shape, or possibly use their Drying Mat rectangles to achieve the desired project. www.shabbyfabrics.com/search?sortOrder=6&q=bosal 💖 -Michelle
