I finished my coasters. These designs are from EmbLibrary, they were VIP designs with an order. I also used, as always, the nifty CD coaster design from Sue! Loud and splashy but I like 'em!

I made them with Sue's CD coaster design for ITH coasters. The felt went on while it was ITH and stitched to the front on the last step. I did not use a leather needle.

They are VIP designs. When emblibrary has a happy hour for those who ordered the month before, sometimes they have VIP designs that you get if you order during happy hour. These were great.

Thanks, it does stitchout well. Just make sure you have a design that doesn't have a bunch of holes in places that aren't stitches as the holes will show some.

Thank you, you'd be surprised how well machine embroidery works on leather. Just make sure it's not real hard or spongy.

Thanks. Sorry, I forgot to mention it is leather on top and felt on the bottom. I used "recycled" leather from a old coat!

Thank you! I had to quit in between coasters to welcome that new grandson so it took me awhile to finish them. I am not nearly as prolific as you!!

Hopefully. I'm just always amazed at you and wonder how many hours are in your days anyway!
