Embroider a mug rug with Mettler Seralon.

It is easy to embroider with universal sewing thread. I have done it before and today I choose for a good colour accent in a non shiny thread. So I take the set RED by Mettler Seralon. I’m taking the colours 504 and 918, right from the box. so: Embroider a mug rug with Mettler Seralon.

In the embroidery software BERNINA V8 I make a file with curved lines. I want to have an abstract line drawing, because I work with children and other designs might distract them. 

You can find it here in ART 80, EXP anf PES-extension: Mug rug Seralon

It is embroidered in the Large Oval hoop on the BERNINA 700 on a double layer of white cotton fabric, without stabilizer.

I cut away the fabric to 2 cm of the embroidery pattern. With powertex textile hardener, I prevent the threads from fraying in the cutting lines.

I cut the fabric in 6 pieces:

I start playing around with the parts. After replacing them, I want to switch the middle parts upside down and cut an extra cm of the white side of the fabric. 

All parts are stitched together again with a 5 mm zigzag stitch with Mettler Transfil, invisible thread, and trimmed to a rectangle. An extra layer of white cotton makes a nice backing. All three layers are stitched together now.
