Mug Rugs in Different Shapes.
The square one is from Oma's Place, I added the beer design from agelessembroidery and font made with Embird Font Engine.
The flower one was a doily design and I widened the Satin Stitch and Underlay and changed the stitch order to make it a mug rug. Added the monogram with Embird alphabet.
The stabilizer tore while stitching and you can see the satin stitch doesn' look so perfect. Well, good enough for free work.
The football was a applique design from a disk I got when I bought Incredible Threadable Thread Box. I resized it and widened the satin stitch and added tackdown stitches and now it's a mug rug.
I forgot where the flower dolly is from. It's a freebie I downloaded somewhere.
It's fun to make it your own.

I found that tear away usually tears when doing in the hoop designs, so I use wss. A bit more expensive but it stays put till the end.
Sometimes I am too lazy to use WSS or I forgot, the result is usually not as nice as you can always see some white from the stabilizer.
