After creating his Ugly Christmas Sweaters quilt pattern Bruce decided to take six of the sweaters and reduce them in size so they could be used on mug rugs or on napkins, place-mats, aprons etc. for the holiday season.

This pattern contains three variations of the smaller Ugly Christmas Sweaters:

All the six mug rug designs measure 5.02” height by 6.95 “ in width and are created to be embroidered In-The-Hoop. The embroidery version is created completely with embroidery stitching and the applique version is made with applique for the sweater itself and finished with embroidery. Both mug rug versions have background quilting.

The six sweater designs are also included in an embroidery only version and can be stitched out on napkins, place-mats, aprons etc. Centering cross-hairs are included. Embroidery only designs are approx 4" x 5".

This pattern contains the following:

• A collection of machine embroidery designs in the following formats: .ART, .DST, .EXP, .HUS, .JEF, .PES, .SHV, .VIP and.VP3.  A hoop with an embroidery field at least 160mm x 200mm (6” x 7.8”) or similar is REQUIRED. 

• Easy to follow, step-by-step instructions for embroidery applique.
  
  
• Mirror and non-mirror templates for cutting out applique shapes.

*Pattern includes cutting instructions and SVG cutting files that can be used with your preferred electronic cutting machine. 

This pattern was not designed for the type of applique where you cut away the extra fabric. The templates are the actual applique size and after cutting out the pieces, you will place the pieces within stitched-out placement lines.

HOWEVER: You CAN use the cutaway method for your applique, but you will have to repeat the placement line after you place your fabric down and before you cut your fabric away.   I do not include a second placement line or a tack down stitch in my designs.
