Hi Sherrill, Great job & you gave me an idea. My sister breeds real caterpillar/butterfly with her milkweed plants so I loved how you tilted the stocking on the coaster & will take my butterfly cookie cutter & place cut fabric on diagonally to coaster square or octagon. Her BDay is next month so I'd better get busy! Thanks for your great suggestions & fun ideas.🥰

I love making mug rugs and coasters. Have you ever made the coasters using 7 hexagons and you only have one seam? They're fast and easy and don't need any batting. If you have made them maybe your guests would like to see a tutorial on how to make them 🙂

Hi Teresa. This is a really fun and quick project to do. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@cecilybailey5720]

I am curious about the thread you used on the appliqué ...looks like blanket stitch but the thread looks thicker than regular? Can you advise?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Cecily. It is a sewing machine blanket stitch. The machine goes back and forth several times on each stitch, and that is what makes it look like heavier thread. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@ursulagreen8374]

If you do the blanket stitch by hand you can use embroidery thread, or Perle thread. It's not very hard to do by hand. I find it more accurate and since I'm still a novice I find doing the blanket stitch by machine kinda hard. Especially with curves.

[@lisaskidgel6818]

I just stumbled across your channel. Absolutely love what I’ve seen so far. I e been quilting for a bit now, but your tutorials on the projects such as this and a table topper that I’m following and making right now is very easy to understand.

Can a person use embroidery thread to stitch around a applique?

Hi Grace. I purchased it last year from Joann Fabrics and Crafts. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@SheEsq]

Excellent vid! I have some old panel fabric I will be breaking out and will probably buy more with this idea to use them as appliques. I'm wondering what type of thread was used to do the blanket stitch - looks way thicker than regular thread. Must need a bigger needle also.

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi SheEsq. I used cotton thread or you can use Coats and Clarks polyester thread. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching💗and happy sewing😍

[@dlwrules]

Thank you for the tutorial. This is very helpful. How do you do this if you want to embellish with a machine embroidery design?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Dlwrules. I would stitch your embroidery design out first, then cut the fabric to fit the size of you design. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@amauryy4417]

Nice mug rugs, thank you!Could you indicate what thicker thread you used for the blanket stitch,please?

[@lisaskidgel6818]

The blanket stitch repeats itself in one stitch so it makes it look thicker.

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Amaury. The blanket stitch on my Viking Sapphire sewing machine stitches 2 to 3 time for each blanket stitch. That is why it looks so thick. I am just using your standard Coasts and Clark thread. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@andreaaughinbaugh8979]

If you have a serger, do you recommend serging the edges?

[@AnitaSouthall]

I either straight or zig zag edges prior to binding as it flattens it down , making pinning 📌 📍 it easier
