Checker Like Look Mug Rug

 Checker Like Look Mug Rug

Patchwork and Quilting techniques were used to make this Checker Like Mug Rug. To my surprise the colours blend together nicely. 

Mug Rug can be used in many capacities as a placemat, home decor within the household etc. 

2 1/2 of 3 1/2 inch squares of whatever colours you like to use.  Stitch together in a 1/4 inch seam allowances to form square.  Cut batting and backing out according and do the turning inside out method.  Optional Quilt

Quilting involves a variety of techniques that can enhance your projects and make the process more enjoyable. Here are some essential quilting techniques to master:

1. Patchwork Piecing: This is the most common quilting technique, where you sew small pieces of fabric together to create a larger design. It’s the foundation of many quilt patterns¹.

2. Appliqué: This technique involves sewing smaller pieces of fabric onto a larger background fabric to create designs or pictures. It can be done by hand or machine².

3. English Paper Piecing: A method where fabric is basted around paper templates and then sewn together by hand. It’s great for intricate designs and precise piecing³.

4. Foundation Paper Piecing: This technique uses a paper pattern as a foundation to sew fabric pieces together. It’s excellent for achieving precise and complex designs³.

5. Free-Motion Quilting: This involves using a sewing machine to quilt in any direction, allowing for creative and intricate designs. It requires practice to master but offers great flexibility².

6. Hand Quilting: The traditional method of quilting by hand, which can be very relaxing and adds a personal touch to your quilt⁴.

7. Machine Quilting: Using a sewing machine to quilt your layers together. It can be done with a walking foot for straight lines or a free-motion foot for more intricate designs⁴.

8. Trapunto Quilting: A technique that adds extra dimension to your quilt by stuffing certain areas with additional batting².

9. Rotary Cutting: Essential for accurate and efficient cutting of fabric pieces. It involves using a rotary cutter, cutting mat, and ruler¹.

10. Strip Piecing: Sewing long strips of fabric together and then cutting them into smaller units. This technique speeds up the piecing process and ensures accuracy¹.

Would you like more details on any of these techniques or perhaps some tips on getting started with a specific one?

Sewing Nuggets FYI

Stay stitching is a fundamental sewing technique used to stabilize fabric and prevent it from stretching out of shape during the construction process. Here are some key points about stay stitching:

1. Purpose: Stay stitching is typically done on curved or bias edges, such as necklines and armholes, to maintain their shape and prevent distortion¹.

2. Method: It involves sewing a single row of straight stitches within the seam allowance, usually about 1/8 inch from the edge. This is done on a single layer of fabric¹.

3. When to Use: It’s best to stay stitch as soon as you cut out your fabric pieces, before any handling or sewing of the garment begins¹.

4. Tips:

   • Use a regular stitch length (around 2 mm).
