Welcome to Cute. Hang around. There are lots of cute designs and many of them are free each week. Also check out her other site links across the bottom of the page. There's lots you can do here for free, and eventually you'll want to try one of these memberships - inexpensive for so many designs.

Welcome to Cute and I hope once you buy a design there will be instructions on how to do it. As Angie has said (crafter2243) come back and ask if you have any more questions. Love Chris, Newcastle, Australia.

I typed in 'mug rug in the hoop tutorial' and came up with some on youtube, check them out. Good luck and have fun you will learn by trial and error practice.

Welcome to you.

Welcome to cute . You will love this site! We are family here and we care. Not sure what mug rug you saw as so many mug rugs are out there. They have been and still are very much popular and they are so cute. They make great gifts and you don't need to make 4 as you do coasters. I know you will get lots of help. Kay

Welcome to Cute! ITH projects make wonderful gifts and are a lot of fun to stitch. Once you get started on them you just have to make more. Joyce, Kansas

I did some oval shaped Coffee mug rugs which i purchased from Oma's Place. Even though the instructions were good, I would encourage you to make something just a little bit easier, if you are a novice. good luck and please show us your items.

Welcome to Cute. You can get a lot of information from emblibrary.com Just log in and then go to projects (across the top) there are lots of video's there to get you started. Embroidering will become an addiction, I can assure you. Once you start you will embroider on everything. Have fun, hugs Marg

You will love it here..very helpful, caring community...there are lots of Mug Rugs available...and most will come with very good instructions as other Cuties have noted below...Here is a link to Oma's Place Freebies...there are several free Coasters and Mug Rugs here for you to try out...give it a go and if you need help, come back here and ask..we are all here to help you!

Welcome to Cuties! You can go to Sanfrancisco Stitch Company and buy a mug rug. They come with directions. However, if you have never stitched anything out before, you might want to do some test stitchouts to help you figure out how it all works. It takes time to learn what kind of stabiizers to use with each kind of fabric and project, but once you have a little experience it is easy to do.
