This morning I asked for help looking for a 5x7 mug rug.<br /><br />
Not being the most patient person I decided to concoct one myself. I have a file with lots of frames. Chose the largest that would fit my hoop, added a bubble stipple and back, and voila just what I wanted for my iron to rest on. Thank you all for sending me various sites to look at.

I admire your ability to get that frame so great without any pokies! Love that fabric. Matches your wall paper! Did you use a tearaway stabilizer?

Penny, for this type of project you need to use a soluble stablizer. When finished you cut near the satin edge and I just rinse the edge with water - no pokies. Tearaway will always leave pokies.
I use this method as well & it works great. Have been doing it that way for ages. Your iron mat looks great. Irene

It looks great! I often compromise myself, and use something I already have. I bet your machine has the frames on it, too. Nice job with the matching fabrics you used for the hearts too.

My machine is very basic and has no frames built in. Love to Avery

Clever idea.The iron & its new rug match your guest room decoration,are they going to be permanent fixtures in the room ?

Very observant. I do all my ironing in the guest room. I also cut out, hoop, pin and other sewing things all on my ironing board. I just cannot hoop on a hard surface.

I agree with the others! Perfect as always - and, not to forget, colours matching to your new guestroom. I am confident you are having great pleasure working in there. And what a great idea to use a frame yourself with some quilting circles. Have a good day - Maria
