Big thanks to Sewilso for posting this mug-rug from Craftsy Embroidery. I have never made a rug-mug before as I did not like the thought of tea/ coffee staining my hard work. LOL. I just love this design. It stitched out beautifully. Need to find an embroidered frame as I would love the design on a t shirt.

11473Thank you for showing this. I just went there and downloaded. I've been mostly looking at quilting classes and had totally forgotten the embroidery portion. Great job.

I love subway art, it's different. You are so welcome, I appreciate everyones' efforts in keeping us well supplied in designs, I do what I can too to try to feed our stash. lol!
23282Looks great, I finally found myself on craftsy to get it. There are no directions on finishing? All the words sew out, then there are 2 circle (or square) lines on the outside. Are we to then do our own binding?

I found some very simple directions on the next page. Yes, you do your own binding. If I make another, I will only sew the very outside line just to hold the layers together as I think it cuts too much into the lovely wording off

You girls should have a circle design on your machines,with your frames.My little cheap emb machine does,just insert it around to fit.

I agree airyfairy I only stitched the outside circle on mine. Thanks for the tip. I think on my next one though I will skip the Final circles altogether and just add the binding.

I like to use the same batting in them that I use in potholders. I plan on using a French bias just like I do on a quilt. I stitch it on with a walking foot then hand stitch it to the back side.

This really is a cute mug rug. Thanks for posting it.
2008Lovely mug rug. When I make mine I place a layer of clear vinyl on top. Stops all the drips and simple to wipe with a damp cloth. Even though yours is finished you could sew the vinyl on using the stitches on your binding as a guideline and just extend the vinyl to the edge of the mug rug. Just an idea as you certainly don't want your lovely work stained. Lynx

261163It looks great. Can I ask you what format you used? I tried to download the PES format but when I opened it said "no sewing data" available. I wrote to Craftsy and they sent me an email saying the problem was corrected but after downloading a 2nd time I still get the same results. I do not have this problem with other designs just this one. Any one have any suggestion? I really like this design and wanted to stitch it out. HELP please.... hugs, Susan

How did you search Craftsy to find it? They sure have a lot of fantastic mug rugs on that site.

rsehorse, mine came in a zipped file with all formats. I looked and can't come up with the original post.

Yes, I got the zipped file too. With the help of a special friend I now have the designs. We still don't understand what the problem was but we did resolve it. Thanks, Susan
