Iron fold the 8 - 7 inch squares into triangles as shown in the picture. Lay 4 triangles out 3/4 inches form the center of the blanket material. Sew them down. Then, lay the remaining four triangles as shown and sew down.
You should now have 8 squares remaining. Iron fold four into triangles as you did for the last row. Lay the triangle edges at the edge of the blanket and sew down. (See picture) The last four 7 inch squares need to be folded into a squares. Place at the corners and sew down.
You are now ready for the backing. Fold forward two sides and sew down. When completed sew the other two sides and you are finished.
The pot holder is machine washable and able to be tossed in the dryer. I use them and give them to friends.
The last picture is of my hand crank sewing machine.

Hi Javajano,
The machine is a Singer. The manuals can be downloaded on line at no charge. If you find one for sale, snap it up!

Very interesting! What brand is it? I would love to have one! I lived in Scotland in the 70s, but have never seen one.
Thanks for replying.

Hi Javajano!
The sewing machine was built in 1914 in Scotland. I purchased it in an antique store in Los Gatos CA for $35.00. I take it to civil war reenactments and parks and sit under a shade tree and sew. The machine has given me more hours of pleasure than I can ever describe.
