Quick Flip and Sew Mug Rug Tutorial

[@theREmissionary]

I love mug rugs. I just made two in this style yesterday, but I made them about 4.5 by 8. I'm wondering if I should increase the size a little, like yours are. I have a BEASTLY time with the corners when I'm doing the self binding!! I tried to miter the corners and that just did not go well, so back to the flat ones. By the way, I love that backing fabric, and the tulip fabric.

[@hkreca622]

I know that your Mug Rugs are wonderful. The size is up to you. I have seen little ones just big enough for a cup. I like mine big enough for a cup and a snack. I have seen mitered corners and square corners so I am sure yours are fine. Thank you for watching my video and Happy Quilting.

I have never made a mug rug but I am going to now. Yours is so pretty, and I love the fabrics you chose.

[@hkreca622]

Thank you. Have fun making yours. They are addictive.

[@lindadow6389]

This is actually called the quilt as you go method. Very nice.

[@imsaved342000]

Some call it stitch and flip as well as quilt as you go.

[@lindamartin2073]

Appreciate your kindness showing us how to make these. You are such a good teacher. Thank you.

Love your rugs! I had planned to give a mug cozy and rug to the ladies in my Bible study for Christmas. You have given me many good ideas. Thank you and God bless.

Thank you for sharing. It's good to learn new things!

[@hkreca622]

Even at my age, I still learn new things every day. Thanks for visiting my channel.

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I love your fabric choice!

[@hkreca622]

Thank you. I made a whole quilt out of these fabrics. This is a link to my blog with photos. quiltbindings.blogspot.com/2015/04/quilts-for-my-aunts.html

I love your plexiglass table . I was trying to see what sewing machine you have that table is great.

[@hkreca622]

Thank you for visiting my channel. I sew on a 440 QE Bernina. It is 17 yrs. old. The acrylic table did not come with it. Google acrylic tables for sewing machines. They will make one for your sewing machine.

[@lorim2074]

Now that I've watched your video, I'm going to try the stitch & flip for my pieced xmas tree mug rug & bind it the same way you did & then I'll add my extra quilting if it looks good like that. Thanks for the video and the great idea!

[@hkreca622]

Hi Lori, Thanks for visiting my channel and for your kind words. Have fun with this technique. I would love to see a picture of your Christmas Tree Mug Rug. Happy Quilting. Just email it to [e-mail].

[@cherilynblake8384]

thank you for this! very simple and completed my first mug rug along with this video! I will add more stitching to mine but i absolutely love it!

[@hkreca622]

So glad that I could help. I bet your mug rug is beautiful.

[@lindamorrison2758]

Yeah I think I agree with Polly who said you're workspace is so clean. Plus she loved the colors you chose so I am going to try to find the same colors in my stash. Thanks!

[@lindamorrison2758]

I am making these ... Mug rugs for my sister-in-law.

[@hkreca622]

@@lindamorrison2758 Thank you for your kind words. I know your SIL will love her mug rug.

[@Gidget3922]

Thanks for sharing all the beautiful mug rugs. I just made my first one today with bias tape…ugh! I will try your method next. Thanks again

[@hkreca622]

Thanks for visiting my channel. I have not tried bias tape. I really prefer hand-sewing my bindings down, especially on my quilts. I like fast and easy projects. I have a lot of fabric to use up. Happy Quilting.

[@robbiereed2175]

Super cute! Love the colors.

[@hkreca622]

Thank you.

[@connieking9873]

Great tutorial. Have you ever tried Elmer’s school glue for your binding. Just small amount glue around press to dry with a dry hot iron. Makes sewing so easy if you machine stitch or hand sew.

[@hkreca622]

I have not tried this method. I have a friend who Elmer glue bastes her quilts before quilting.

[@VintageRoseCreationsbyKim]

Going to try these for Christmas gifts, thanks for sharing!

[@hkreca622]

Thank you for visiting my channel. Have fun. The recipients will think of you every time they use them.

[@lindamcclellan8434]

So glad I’m not the only who messes up.😊. It came out beautiful.

[@hkreca622]

I am new at editing, so it is usually one take with mistakes included. I figure that I showed two ways to sew down the corners. That's my story and I am sticking to it. LOL Thanks for visiting my channel.

[@karentoynton8948]

They are extra large for a mug mat. So a bit different, but I like them all the same. Thank you for sharing

[@hkreca622]

Everything is bigger in Texas. lol Made for a large cup of coffee and a snack.

[@karentoynton8948]

@@hkreca622 sounds good to me. Hehr

[@momof2641]

I love the idea but I think when you iron as you go especially for the binding it makes for a much neater end product

[@hkreca622]

I agree, but my iron is across the room. I am not that good at editing yet, so I decided to just finger-press each seam. I ironed everything at the end and it looks just fine.

[@raggedyanna6-Missy]

Great video, what machine are you sewing on?

[@hkreca622]

A 15 yr. old 440 QE Bernina. Thanks for visiting my channel.

[@maryannebrannon1396]

I didn't hear how long the strip s are

[@lindamcclellan8434]

Where’d you get the glass around your sewing machine?

[@hkreca622]

Google sewing machine acrylic insert. You will need to order one that is made for your machine. Not all machines are the same. It really helps me, since my machine is not inserted in a cabinet. Happy Quilting.

[@Guinhill1940]

Cool!!!!!

[@hkreca622]

Thanks

[@corvettew.s.4360]

Curious as to why you didn't press the top before binding?

[@hkreca622]

To be truthful, my iron was on the other side of the room. I am new at videos and try not to do a lot of editing. I would have given it a good pressing otherwise. Being so small, it was not as big a deal. You could press after each added strip. Especially, if you were to use this method on a placemat.

[@jennyharris2993]

I would have done a few things different, but ok

[@hkreca622]

Thanks for visiting my channel. I agree that there are many ways to make a mug rug. My goal was to show even beginners how easy it can be to make fun gifts.
