    I love your attitude! Particularly where you talk about nothing you do is perfect. Absolute perfection is a fool's dream; we could drive ourselves insane trying to achieve it. Plus that makes our projects hard work, not fun. I gather you're like me, I want to ENJOY the process. My quilting group have a saying that we use whenever we get too serious about what we do - "There are NO quilt police!" We just should do the best we can and be happy that we have the ability to do so, whether quilting, or gift making or bag making - whatever! Besides, little imperfections give a project character. I've been sewing for 65 years and it took me way too long to learn this. I'm happy to know you learned it much earlier than I did! 😉🥰

    A piece of bakers parchment can be a pressing cloth placed between the fabric and the iron of the fabrics and the pressing surface. That will keep the fusible glue off your iron and wool mat. (Just in case you were unaware of this trick.)

      You can also buy a special Teflon mat to put over it which protects your iron plus put a piece of calico down on the bottom. I love my mat I have a small one and a large one. We did a project like this and it was in the shape of a purse with stick on beads for the handle and we sewed it on card as a gift card. Was fun.

    Fold your 45° on your corner before you do your first fold for your binding. Use the straight pin to bring out or in that 45 to make your miter. Much easier, more exact and a cleaner miter without any fussing

    A dryer sheet with your iron on warm will remove all yuk from the plate of your iron. I ball up the dryer sheet to protect my fingers and rub it onto the warm iron plate. The dryer sheet has like an oil that works great to remove any glue especially that may have gotten on your iron. I use the same dryer sheet till there's no more oil like substance. On my little iron like yours, one dryer sheet lasts several times of cleaning (like 6-10x's depending how bad it is)

    I'd use silvery gray thread instead of white, a bit softer, but festive and in keep with a more subtle colour because of the small squares. I was guessing a small pot holder first 😊, but soon saw that it was too small 😅. Merry Christmas from Norway.

    1. Also, another idea is stack your small scraps if you don’t have strips and use a ruler called the Tucker trimmer it’s really really good and you can trim maybe five layers of fabric to those 1 inch dimensions at one time specially if you have one of those rotating mats
    2. Arrange your little scraps in the order you want first on the wool mat and then move them over to your fusible interfacing.

    I love the Christmas mug rug. However, I would have used Gold thread for the zig zag. There's very little gold in the fabric pieces and it would have been a bit more "Christmas-sy". I used to throw out all my tiny pieces of fabric, but may now keep them and do some of the things you have shown.

      I'm lazy too with pre washing, only do it if the project won't be heavily sewn or if I think the fabrics aren't very good. For this particular project, since the fabrics are fused to the interfacing and sewn thoroughly, you should be fine...

    I have always saved my 1" squares. Been sewing them as leader and enders. I'm not a fan of heat and bond. When I have used it in the past, it makes your stuff come out stiff.

      Yeah I don't use heat n bond for a lot of thinga because of the stiffness but I'm yet to try the Lite version. Is there a brand you prefer?

      I'm surprised to see you had not cut the salvage edge off of the lining fabric. Salvage fabric is more tightly woven and does not stretch the same as the rest of the fabric. That has a wide salvage but a 1/4 " trim would have been better.

      @@bethroundell8424 hi, thank you for your comment. The only times I cut my selvages are for large projects and orders, of course. For small projects, when the selvages continue the pattern, I prefer not to waste it. For this particular project, no matter how many times I wash it, it's not really going anywhere...

    I found a better way to do something like this after watching 10,000 videos. Just cut 1 inch strips sew them together and then go back over with your zigzag stitch to make those lines
    much faster.

      @@seweasybysandy it all depends on what you have in your stash. Because it looks like all you need are about five across however, you could do five strips of one design of five different strips of another design alternate them. You have a lot of options when you’re using strips and Donna Jordan has a video out there don’t know what it’s called right now where she offsets the prints so she gets a lot of variety

      Hi. I do my very best to always use everything in a fabric, that's the whole point, zero waste. I don't do it for my orders or larger projects where it may disrupt the design or warp it in anyway but for making quilt blocks with you guys or for this project that I knew would be super stable with the interfacing and the stitches, I use it. I also don't use it when it's a white strip or anything like that but when it's a continuation of the print, I do. You don't have to use it, of course, it's a personal preference. Hope that helps 😁
