If you are talking about the disappearing 9 patch, I started with 6" squares and sewed them together into a 9 patch. After cutting them both ways, you have 8 1/2" unfinished squares that become 8" finished blocks. Hope this helps. Happy Quilting.
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.
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.
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.
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 like to call mine blessing quilts that I donate. I make tops and the quilts quilt them because of back issues. I love making tops so it’s a win win situation for me.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Thank you, I hope you have fun using your scraps to make beautiful quilts. If you need some ideas, I have several videos on my channel to help you with that. ru-vid.comvideos
Julieta, visit my RU-vid channel There are several videos showing quilt blocks and quilts that I have made. My channel is called Helen Recane. Happy Quilting.
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.
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!
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 helen.quiltbindings@gmail.com.
