Does noone else have this problem and, if so, how did you solve it because I just love the little mug rugs.
Have you ever tried Heat & Bond Iron on Vinyl by Thermo Web? It is a vinyl that you just iron onto fabric and it turns any fabric into a water resistant fabric.
Great for makeup bags, lunch bags, and now I think Mug Rugs! After you are done making the top portion of your mug run and have it like you want, you could just iron this stuff over it and then bind it. It is sewable also. It believe it comes in shiny and matte. You can then just wipe off the stain!
