"Make it round" mug rug swap
#83
There are some pretty mug rugs here, but are we just putting in the cotton batting? Just checking so I know how to do mine correct. I have not started so no panics yet, but will be using an embroidery design to so one and thought I better check on that before complete construction is done. There are some really nice ones. Also, is it ok to copy an idea on here? I like the selvage one and I have a bag of selvages that I am giving away to a friend, but thought it might be fun to try using them. Let me know.

As far as the mug rugs themselves, and if I understand this correctly, they are to be three layers, the top,backing and batting in between, so you will need to do some quilting to hold it all together. Of course, there is no rule that says you can't do that with machine embroidery.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, will do then. Yes, it is just a couple of more days and the names will be out. So now I get to apply some of the new designs I just got today for this swap. That should be some fun. I am playing with applique/embroidery ideas.
Ok, are we putting on bias binding or are we turning these? Is there a preference? I noticed a variation.

i've turned mine because of the design. i didn't see where it was specified that they had to be one way. if mine are short of nine inches i'll have to add a thick binding, lol! do what you gotta do! LOL
