Look no further for a cute and clever project that you can make and share with ease. These useful little mitts are perfect for tucking into gift baskets, but they’re equally as useful in the kitchen. Using a protective layer of Insul-Bright will keep hands safe and sound.
Warning: Be sure to use heat-resistant batting for protection that standard batting will not provide.

How to Die Cut Mini Oven Mitt Shapes:
For best cutting results, position fabric on the lengthwise grain (straight of grain) as it goes under the roller.
- To cut one mini oven mitt:
- Cut a 7" x 8 3/4", 7" x 9 3/4", and 7" x 7 1/4" rectangle out of insulated batting, cotton batting, lining and outer fabric.
- Lay lining fabric right side down on table in front of you. Top with corresponding size of cotton batting, insulated batting, and outer fabric, in that order. Pin or baste together. Quilt as desired.
- Lay “sandwiched” pieces on the die over the blades for the Outside, Inside Top, and Inside Bottom with outer fabric facing up. Place one 2 1/4" x 4" fabric rectangle on the Hang Loop section. Place mat over and cut.
Die Tips:
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
- Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch.

It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.
