Quick Flip and Sew Mug Rug Tutorial

Let's make a quick and easy Mug Rug. I used the flip and sew method and turned the backing up for the binding.
At the end of the video, I show 5 additional Mug Rugs that I made or traded for.
Here are the dimensions that I used: Backing - 9" x 13", Batting - 7" x 11",
Focus Fabric - 7" x 5 1/4", Strip 1 - 7" x 2 1/2", Strip 2 - 7" x 2 1/2", Strip 3 - 7" x 2 1/4". Finished size: 7" x 11". Place batting on wrong side of backing and leave 1" on all sides.
Just right for a beverage and a snack.

Super cute! Love the colors.

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.

[@pollymartin604]

You did a great job with this video, and your sewing space looks so clean and organized!! And I love the fabrics combinations you chose.

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.

[@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].

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.

[@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

[@jenniferfriesen7691]

Thank you! Terrific video and great gift idea.

[@hkreca622]

Thanks for visiting my channel. Happy quilting.

[@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.

[@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!

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.

[@OHlookSHINYthing]

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.

[@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.

[@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.
