WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

This mug rug makes a great quick gift for anyone on your list and is a fun accent to your existing holiday & winter décor. With beautiful fabrics from Art Gallery Fabrics and lustrous Sulky thread, the Mug Rug achieves boutique status – even though the machine does most of the work for you!
