Can anyone help me? I've searched & searched for in the hoop machine embroidered coasters & bookmarks and cannot find what I'm searching for. I have a 5 x 7 embroidery field. I want some really nice one's to make for Christmas gifts. Any help at all would be so appreciated. Thanks.

Have you checked Embroidery Library..I saw some there when I was looking the other day.

I have seen a book that has projects that are all made in the embroidery hoop and I think it includes coasters. called Piece in the Hoop, sold at Amazon. Most of your lace designs that are in a rectangle shape could be used as bookmarkers.
All of the applique designs can be coasters once you know how to insert the insul-brite between the embroidered layer and the last layer and then finish the outline/satin stitch step.
It isn't difficult; just takes the instruction s and a little practice.

in the upper right corner type in 'coasters' in the search box ... Reen has quite a few and her designs always stitch out great ~ HTH :D
