When i learned to sew back in high school my teacher told us if we didn’t understand the instruction to back up and read half the sentence. I like your instructions and all the pictures. Before tackling the mug rug i decided to watch your video. It is wonderful. As i get older i think visual works better for me. Now that i have watched the video and have the printed instruction i can make the mug rug for my granddaughter. I have been doing embroidery for 18 years now and learn new stuff every day. Thank you.m
I just want to say I LOVE Your In the Hoop projects. I have made your mug rugs along with gingerbread softies, gingerbread potholder, gingerbread bag, lil lady bib and butterfly zippered purse. They all turned out beautiful. Thank you for all the wonderful In the hoop projects.
Getting back to sewing after a long time needed something to kickstart me back to sewing and embroidering .This is wonderful and best of all simple and LARGE PRINT
I have made several of your projects over the years but work got in the way, as it does when you have your own business. I am in the process now of retiring and sooo looking forward to getting back into my quilting, embroidery and ITH Projects. I've started watching your videos again and loving them all over again. I'm always grateful for the wonderful detailed instructions ... I LOVE the number of pages you give us lol... LINDY
Very good and thorough tutorial. It was a good tip to use the Steam-A-Seam to seal the back seam. I have made other mug rugs but your way of turning and finishing the mug rug was a very clean and neat final step. Thanks.
Thank you so much! This was so helpful. I, too, was very intimidated by the print out. But this was perfect, as I am a visual learner. You ladies were terrific! I have purchased several of your designs and love them.
That was wonderful ladies, you work well together and are an inspiration I appreciate your consideration of everyone. You thoroughly explained so much and I look forward to watching more and trying your projects. Thank you all the best and God bless
You are where you are suppose to be! You are great at this! Thank you for this fantastic video! Much needed right now for a friend I am making for her and it will make her very happy!
Hi Monika...great video...and it was great to get a peek inside of your sewing room. I have made many of your ith projects and I always get a professional looking project in the end. Lot of great pictures in your instructions. Thank you!! Just found your video here on youtube
Love your mug rug video. Your instructions are very clear and concise. I think now I'd be willing to try making one. Thanks for giving me that confidence.
Very nice tutorial. I have been doing a few "piece in the hoop" designs and I have found that even tho it seems confusing, once you get the general idea, and do it once or twice, it makes perfect sense and is very cool. Thank you for all the good tips!
This is the first of your videos I have watched and I wanted to tell you how amazingly good and clear your instructions are. I am very new to machine embroidery and just adore the mug rug. Monica you come across as a really lovely lady. I'm off to your website now to bag myself some goodies. Have a wonderful day. With love from Lisa in the UK xx
Hello. Thank you for this video. I saw you while looking at another video but I left it and played this. I am definitely going to your store page especially as you have said you lots of pictures and large print. I have never known someone to mention this because I am blind in one eye and the other eye is a bit blurry so thank you.
I like the number of pages with lots of pictures. It ensures that I am on the right track. The pictures are large which is okay for me. I did wonder about the batting - what type, but I made a good guess. Warm & natural. Thank you! donna
When you apply the steam a seam 2, are you applying it to the wrong side of the fabric which is folded? or right side of of the fabric. ?? I have everything cut out to make a set and I am already stuck. I anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
seems that I would sew it quicker than hooping it; your professional and love to have seen your embroidery machine at work. Me I have a 165 E Bernina not as fancy as yours. Great idea, could not find the free down load!
girl!!!!!! I love this video and all the information you gave, love your sewing studio and the embroidery on your sweater, please do lesson on that, thank u, I also love that u cut your stabilizers for your hoops, so for a 5x7 hoop should I cut the stabilizer 5x8 please let me no, thank u, be blessed.
I think I’ve watched 8,000 hours of machine embroidery and I’m grateful for mature women as well. I need to understand my machine and embroidery so I don’t end up back at the point of purchase getting my machine repaired before I ever get started.
I was wondering .... would not be better to put the fusible fleece with the fusible side on the back of the mug rug? the above is already attached to the fabric with embroidery and quilting....
The reason for the fusible fleece is so that the front fabric gets fused to the fleece. Then when you embroider on top of the fabric, it won't shift and "bubble up" as you embroider. Press the fabric after stitching, too. And by using this method you can also be assured that your project will look nice even after it's been laundered. :)
I use Gunold threads. Love the colors and quality of the thread. But there are many quality threads available: Robison Anton, Floriani (it has great shine to it), Isacord are just some of the many brands you can purchase. I would stay away from really cheap thread. Usually you get what you paid for and thread breakage is a big problem with the cheaper threads. Hope this helps. Monika

Thank you so much for this video. I am making my very first mug rug with your free design.
This is the first of your videos I have watched and I wanted to tell you how amazingly good and clear your instructions are. I am very new to machine embroidery and just adore the mug rug.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I really appreciate your feedback and am happy to hear the video was helpful to you.
thank you so much for making this seem possible to me! I have been afraid of trying an in the hoop project, will start with yours!
They are a lot of fun to make and I have a feeling that once you start, you won't be able to stop. :)

Very nice! What machine do you use?
Just finished my very first mug rug and I love it!! Simple and easy!!
Love the video, great help. Is it possible to make a mug rug in the 4x4 hoop?
Where can I find the PDF please ?
very clear and helpful, you take the fear out of beginning.
So glad I could be of help.
Thank you II have really picked up some wonderful tips
Very nice video!!!
Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial!
Do you have a pattern for a flat iron holder in the hoop?
I like the number of pages with lots of pictures. It ensures that I am on the right track. The pictures are large which is okay for me. I did wonder about the batting - what type, but I made a good guess. Warm & natural. Thank you! donna
Fusible fleece. You made great points.
When you apply the steam a seam 2, are you applying it to the wrong side of the fabric which is folded? or right side of of the fabric. ?? I have everything cut out to make a set and I am already stuck. I anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.

I don’t have the fusible fleece so i think i will try the heat and bond.
THANK U🙂, It's so nice 2 C mature women on U Tube! 👁' m a SC & need the explicit directions😮. M🍀

Didnt I read that the mug rug was a free download? I cant find it at the website..or was I mistaken?
Yes, it is on page 3 of our freebies pages. You can find it at this link:
www.omasplace.com/ed/category/free-designs/page/3/
Hope this helps.
How to find the instructions to print.
I downloaded a free mug run file. Where do I get the instructions?
Where did you find the instructions?
The instructions are part of your download. They are in pdf format and you need to have Adobe Reader in order to open the document.
maybe this is a crazy question,but how do I keep the fabric from fraying?
Thank you for the large print, I have AMD and just can't read small print.
I was wondering .... would not be better to put the fusible fleece with the fusible side on the back of the mug rug? the above is already attached to the fabric with embroidery and quilting....
ops. .. stupid question ....There is the stabilizer in the middle... sorry... :)
The reason for the fusible fleece is so that the front fabric gets fused to the fleece. Then when you embroider on top of the fabric, it won't shift and "bubble up" as you embroider. Press the fabric after stitching, too. And by using this method you can also be assured that your project will look nice even after it's been laundered. :)
I learned a lot from watching your video. Thank you for having it here. What brand of machine embroidery thread (floss) do you recommend?
I use Gunold threads. Love the colors and quality of the thread. But there are many quality threads available: Robison Anton, Floriani (it has great shine to it), Isacord are just some of the many brands you can purchase. I would stay away from really cheap thread. Usually you get what you paid for and thread breakage is a big problem with the cheaper threads.
Hope this helps. Monika
LITTLE IRON SO CUTE!!!
And sooo practical. Use it all the time. It's the Clover Wedge iron.
very greats inspirations,GBU
One hint is.. rather than to waste paper and ink, put the pattern in your laptop and use that beside your embroidery machine..
Tutorial for making doll
Love you both. Guess it's me. There is no way I would attempt this. I'm still completely confused.
Crochet hook easy to remember as it has the little hook on the end to hook the yarn or thread
Knitting needle easy to remember as it looks like a huge needle with a dull point like a needle
Wow good
nice video
Thanks.
