Materials Needed
TIP: Pre-wash your fabric and lace. This way, your placemats won't shrink after they are made.
Scissors
Quilting Pins
8.5 yards of lace (allow 50" - or about 1.5 yards - per placemat)
thread to match lace
Cut a pattern out of paper that measures 13.5" x 11.5" (I use butcher paper bought on a roll at Costco)
Place a glass upside down in each corner and trim the corners to make them rounded.
Large Ruler
3/4 yard of 45" width double-sided pre-quilted Christmas fabric (this makes six 11" x 13" placemats). 3/4 yard is 27". NOTE: You need a full 24" length; 3/4 yard allows 3" shrinkage.
MAKE YOUR OWN PREQUILTED FABRIC: Choose our beautiful Christmas prints and create your own pre-quilted fabric.
Follow the diagram at right for lay-out
Pattern corners are square in this diagram, but you will have rounded yours already.
Turn under a 1/4" hem all the way around the placemat. Stitch down hem. This is the "wrong side". Don't worry - it will be finished in lace, so will become a second, finished side.
On the "wrong side" (hem facing you) pin the lace all around the edge of the placemat, covering the hem. Overlap the ends of the lace about 1". The overlapped ends should be just to the side of a corner (where they will be noticed less).
Stitch lace into place. Your placemat is now "finished" on both sides.
