109041Very nice. What is the size of the whole mugrug? Congrats on a great sale as well. Hugs. Nan W
11740It looks beautiful, the crosshatched design is a freebie from Oregonpatchworks. The store is JHB Creations and comes in two sizes 4x4 and 5x5 they are classed as filler blocks for quilting or anything else you want to use them for. thanks for sharing.

4443You sold me. lovely. could you share a site that I could find this size design.

Actually, it is not one whole design. I put together designs from different sites to get the look I like. The words are created in Embirds, and I think the candy is Embroidery Library. I use a lot of their designs.

Thank you, I was wondering where to find out how to make the mug rug ITH in that size? Did you get it from some embroidery site or make it yourself?

I read a lot about how to make coasters and mug rugs at different sites online. But what works best for me took me several tries. This link will take you to a site that has 5x7 mug rugs with instructions that you could just add your design to. I prefer to do a satin stitch on the edges of mine and these do too.

I agree!! Finding them the perfect size can be tough. I gave the site I get mine from below.
29723Nice job! What kind of cloth do you use for the top?
by pennyhal2
28 Jun 2015
The top is done with a 60/40 poly cotton bottom weight fabric I get at Joann's. The backing are 100% quilting cotton or batiks. Inside is Pellon 987F fusible fleece.
622i do that with a lot of my stuff , you would be surprized at how many people walk by , but the ones flat on the table they look at, strange !! sounds like you did good, DORIS

pennyhal2, I had purses hanging on a rack (the stocking tree rack my husband makes-undecorated of course) last time, I sold one. I had purses on the table, time before last, and sold 2. -I also hung aprons and plastic grocery bag holders, on a spinning rack, that has clothespins to attach the items. These were also packaged on the table. The table items sold but no one looked at the rack. When they picked up the table item, I then showed them from the rack, how they looked out of the package. I have only two, six foot tables. Seems people look more on the tables, here anyway.

I think that is generally true. If I have a booth plus a table, I can hang things high and people will see them and come in to look at the ones on a rack. My friend has earrings and she's putting them on a "tower" that she made.

I make some that are more "manish" ...like with bobcats on them, or using black fabric, but they were more serious and realistic. The "fun" ones really did a lot better.
299557Well done - and thanks for sharing that insight into the market!
140716So glad that you had a great "buy out"! If I may offer a suggestion it would be to perhaps photograph your mug rugs being used and using the giant photo(s) as a prop. I am sure it gets old telling people how a product is designed to be used. A picture speaks a thousand words! You could print out lots of photos of the different designs being used with a mug and/or cookies and maybe that would help. I love little mug rugs. They are the perfect size for my breakfast and/or brunch! Really like the design you posted! Congratulations on a great day selling your wonderful wares!

Celo resealable bags-I buy 100 at a time.

I charge $5. Materilas cost me $1.39 to make them. If the design uses a lot of thread, it probably costs me a few cents more. I see on Etsy that some people charge more and then you have to pay postage. This conference was for cancer victims and their mentors. I did not have to pay an entry fee, but donated $$ to support them. If you have an entry fee, you'd have to charge more.
