BASTING!!! That is what i need. I tried the Feista mug rug last weekend in anticipation of beginning the Feista BOM from Fatcat. It took me 11 hours. I decided right then and there that needle turn was a method I didn't think I could do for the whole thing. I will try another mug rug with this method. Maybe knock a few hours off. Thanks!!!

I can post how to do this, you cut out the back as Lesley did and take out the paper template at that time if you need photos I will make another block and show you all how.
