Blanks for me - I like to customize things myself.

both,I like a set that includes a blank.I like to be able to add my own design

I like both.....thanks for asking. If a set, I appreciate having a blank.

I like that the sets of OMAs place have a plain mugrug also. But if I can choose I would prefer the single blank one to save money (have more than enough designs to fill in ;o).

Blank for me also. I've got so many designs that it's easy to add a design to a blank.

I prefer both. some folks can combine designs. I am not one of them, I spend hours just looking and sorting, hoping someday I too will be an accomplish design "artist"! Once in a while it happens, however so far my work has been combining/learning techniques and just plain stitching. I need a blank where I can insert my own stitchout and just have to find a good coordinating fabric to go with it! Then I can claim more "finished" works. I think a frame with concentric shapes to start or quilt that process would be really excellent. Then something will be sure to fit! I guess the best way to describe it would be ITH piecing. where could exclude the inner rings.

I do both. I have several frames I can use to put around a design or make a coaster already digitized as a coaster.

I like both but love the idea of adding my own designs. Sometimes I may like the shape and size but the design and wording is not my choice and really feel bad when I remove the designs to put in my own. I know the digitizer put a lot of thought and work into her design. I love what you have been giving to the cute community and have plans to get started on them when we get back from Utah and hopefully before we head out for Maine. Thank you for asking and thank you for your designs. Hugs..Carol

ANYTHING YOU DO IS FINE BY ME! I LOVE YOUR WORK. Love Chris

Both are wonderful, because others come up with wonderful ideals.

Both for me. One with a design gives me ideas as to what will fit into the area so if I want to change the design I know what to look for.

I like both. Digitizers come up with something I had not thought of
Thanks for all you do for us.

I like both, and for the same reasons as everyone else that have commented.
Thank you for asking what we prefer. Your designs and ideas are very much appreciated.
Hugs Jerri

It's been a while since I've gotten a chance to comment, or embroider/sew. My machine has been very sick, but finally I believe I have her fixed. Yahoo!
Anywho, just want to say how I love all your new coasters/mug rugs!! You have a very loving, generous heart to continue to share so may beautiful goodies with all of us!
Thank you from the bottom of my ole heart to the tips of my ugly ole toes! LOL
Either way is fine, but it is kinda fun to give a blank a different look. So sweet of you to ask and give us all the option of playing with fabrics and designs.
Thanks a zillion!!
Hugs and *****

Just want to say A BIG THANK YOU for all you give me......I really do appreciate receiving these gifts, I have still yet to try it, but rest assured I will...hugs Kerry

I like both. Thankyou for all the designs.

Whatever is easier for you! Thank you for sharing your designs with us.
Hugs, Lidia

Good of you to ask the question. I always assumed it was dead easy to leave out a design (just skip the colours) and use whatever you wanted instead - that's how I do it, no need to bother with editing software. Now I know better.

I like blanks to use but I like to see designers' ideas as well because that's where I get my inspiration.
I'd love to know how to stipple around my own designs and envy digitisers who can do that.

Actually, I like both. The digitizer has his/her own style of designs which I like. If the shape is cool, I'd like to add my own touch even if it's just a name in a frame.
You are so thoughtful to ask. Thank you!

Like most cuties, I like both but if I can only have one, then I would say design and just skip what I don't want. This has been mentioned several times.
