For machine embroiders-An optional machine embroidery appliqué design to help in making this project is available at www.Patrick Lose.com under Party with Patrick embroideries. The fabric requirements, below, are for fusible machine appliqué. If using machine embroidery, you must adjust your fabric requirements accordingly.

Patrick chose fabrics from his Fresco, Fizz, and Dot-to-dot fabric collections for Robert Kaufman. Basic color names are listed followed by the actual color names from the collec-tion. A fabric kit for creating this project is also available at PatrickLose.com.

- Perle Cotton (optional) for snowflakes- You’ll also need an iron, fabric and paper scissors, and a fine point marker for tracing the templates.

- Coordinating Sulky® 40wt rayon thread for quilting and satin stitching

1. Refer to the circle template page and cut two 8" circles from the background fabric(s).

2. Trace the templates onto the paper side of your fusible adhesive leaving approximately ½” between tracings.Trace the dashed stitching and placement lines also, if desired.

3. Roughly cut the templates from the adhesive just outside of the traced line.

4. Place the adhesive templates onto the wrong side of their corresponding appliqué fabrics and fuse in place according to manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Neatly cut the appliqués from the fabrics on the traced template lines.

6. Transfer the dashed stitching lines to the right side of the reindeer fabric with a non-permanent pen or pencil, if desired. Ue a light table or daylit window, if necessary.

7. Peel the paper backing from the appliqués and arrange them on the background piece. Fuse appliquésinto place.

8. Place the Sulky Tear-Easy stabilizer behind the mat background and satin stitch the raw edges of the appli-qués, using Sulky Premium 40 wt rayon thread. Do not finish the eyes at this time. They will be finished during quilting. Satin stitch reindeer details on marked dashed lines. Remove the stabilizer after stitching.

9. Transfer three snowflakes to background fabric. Using perle cotton, hand-stitch snowflakes on marked lines. (If you’re making your mat using the optional machine embroidery files, the snowflakes will be stitched by machine.)

10. Sandwich batting between top and backing with wrong sides of fabrics against batting.

11. Quilt as desired. Using a free motion machine stitch, through all layers, “scribble” to fill in the eyes with black thread. Then create small highlights in the eyes, in the same way, using white thread.

12. Because the mat has a curved edge, you’ll need to bind it with a strip cut on the bias. Use your preferred method to do this or follow the Bias Binding instructions.

From binding fabric cut one 15” square to make a continuous binding strip. This will make enough binding for two mug mats.

Cut the bias binding strip fabric square in half once diagonally (45 degree angle). Place the two triangular pieces right sides together along straight edge as shown in Illustration A. Press.

Using a gridded transparent ruler, measure from the long edge and draw a parallel line every 2¼" on the wrong side of the fabric, as shown in Illustration B.

Fold the marked piece right sides together to form a tube, aligning the edges and pinning the marked lines so one width of the binding extends beyond the edge on each side as shown in Illustration C. Sew the tube together and press the seam open. Cut on the marked line to make one continuous 2¼" -wide bias binding strip.

Continuous Bias Binding Instructions

Create a continuous bias binding strip, economically.
