I love the way you "sneak up' on the corners!

[@ritaleek4588]

Both mug rugs are very cute and nice relaxing process. Fun, thank you!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

You are so welcome!

[@tammyschweitzer7850]

Great way to use scraps and orphan blocks! Great video as always!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Thanks so much!

[@kathyyarbrough303]

I liked both the mug rugs you made, but I particularly liked the selvage one! I so enjoy your channel!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Glad you like them!

[@deloresrast8543]

Great video!!! Thanks Sheri!!! This is a great gift idea - add a mug and your done!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Yes! Thank you!

[@SherrieSherman]

Thanks Sheri for the demo of using selvages…. If no one is keeping their selvages and using them in cute little projects you’re missing out you can make such cute things.. once you start using your selvages you will not stop it’s such a cute creative way of making new things … thanks again for that inspiration

[@lessonslearnt5966]

So true! Thank you!

[@beckycox3823]

Interesting tip with stiletto on corners.

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

Thank you for the ‘Lesson’. My favorite mug rug was the selvages. Great way to use something that many consider waste.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Yes! Thank you!

[@angiepala4098]

O gosh, I have let go of too many salvages! Now, I will save them! Love this idea❣️

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Have fun!

[@lucilaflores4912]

Very pretty mug rugs

[@catherinesofikitis179]

Wonderful. And the music is so calming I fell asleep. I had to watch it twice. I’m so relaxed😂❤️

[@lessonslearnt5966]

😄

[@chrisclark9862]

Those turned out so nice! Great idea for so many applications. I recently got a few pieces of RSS fabric and I noticed the selvages right away plus it feels dreamy. Thanks for the inspiration Sheri 😊

[@veraweeks8534]

Turned out really cute!

[@lindajones7643]

❤ the selvage!!

[@sandyheller5438]

Great mug rug. Love them. 💕

[@brendarainwater6049]

Thank you Sheri, another wonderful idea! I'm curious.. maybe you could show us how you make and finish a block start to finish. Yours always look so clean and crisp❤

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Great idea!

[@diannplatt-roberts8692]

Great gift idea.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I think so too!

[@joydavis3089]

Thank you so much. I like to make a nine patch out of 3 1/2 inch squares. I then cut down the center in both directions, vertical and horizontal, resulting in quarters. I then add batting and backing. This yields a set of 4 coasters.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Great tip!

[@karenrobertson8413]

Cute

[@jeane.2722]

thx

[@JuanitaHooker-wx9up]

Thanks for the video. They are cute.

[@Mitziquilter]

Enjoyed the video

[@beckipugh8124]

Great video! My sister-in-law gave a roll of adding machine tape a few years ago and I never did anything with it until last week I discovered in the drawer, so I dug out scraps and started putting them on. It was such a no-brainer, no-pressure thing to do, I'm turning mine into a table runner. Thanks for the videos on making them into mug rugs.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I know! I love to do some mindless sewing like that.

[@carolcg1231]

Love these... so cute & useful. Thanks for sharing!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@imogenethomas1138]

Sherri, thanks for the selvedge demo. I bought the Sew Yeah ones, can’t wait to play with them. What pinking shears do you like? I really need a decent pair.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I’ve had these Ginghers for years. Any kind will do.

[@charoletthoward7312]

Is the backing under the batting as you sew?❤

[@SewingWithLawayne]

I love these, I could see the Selvages if you had enough of them as a small wall hanging to show off the fabric brands.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Yes! And I have a video showing that. I made a wall hanging of a giant spool of thread made from selvages.

[@gayleturner945]

I learned a new tip with the use of your stiletto. I like the Janome. I have a very old Pfaff that has been a workhorse, but bobbin stitches looking horrid of late. I cannot figure it out. Machine is bouncing. I will take a look at Janomes. Thanks for your great instructional video!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Wonderful!

[@charoletthoward7312]

Oh, I see you sew only on batting!

[@alau2058]

Beautifully done! What model Janome are you using?

[@lessonslearnt5966]

6262 QC It’s old

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Will the batting come apart when it is washed (without more quilting)?

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Not on a project this small, but if you’re worried about it, just sew a “X” through it when you’re done.
