I like using my monoprinted fabric is ways that allows me to enjoy it everyday. Today, I used two pieces of fabric and a bit of felt to make a “Mug Rug”. You could call it a coaster or maybe even a potholder.
I used some simple craft felt in the middle and Heat-n-Bond to adhere the fabric prints to the felt. The fusible Heat-n-Bond gave it some stiffness, but it also was harder to sew through, when I did the blanket stitch around the edge.
I would say artist’s choice on whether to use the Heat-n-Bond and whether to machine or hand sew the edge.
I like the rustic feel of the blanket stitch for this over sized coaster. It would be good for putting hot things on. Not sure how washable it would be. But I am enjoying it for today.
