After that you are going to place one of the quilt battings on a flat surface. Place one of the Halloween place mat pieces on top of the quilt batting. The Halloween place mat will be PRETTY SIDE UP. Place one of the Thanksgiving place mats on top of the Halloween one with PRETTY SIDE DOWN. Pin around the place mat leaving an opening for turning. Then stitch around the placemat pressure foot edge. Clip corners and trim your seams making sure not to cut into your seam. Next turn your placemat right sides out and hand sew the opening you left closed.
