This will give you nice, crisp tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/154text.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/154text.jpg\" alt=\"valentines mug rug\" class=\"wp-image-15138 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/154text.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/154text-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/154text-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/154text-150x100.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 550px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 550\/367;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/154text.jpg\" alt=\"valentines mug rug\" class=\"wp-image-15138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/154text.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/154text-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/154text-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/154text-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Set your fishbowl template on the fabric again, arrange the lips, and iron them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/155text.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"434\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/155text.jpg\" alt=\"valentines mug rug\" class=\"wp-image-15139 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/155text.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/155text-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/155text-500x395.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/155text-150x118.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 550px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 550\/434;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"434\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/155text.jpg\" alt=\"valentines mug rug\" class=\"wp-image-15139\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/155text.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/155text-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/155text-500x395.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/155text-150x118.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Stitch over the lips, again using a satin stitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/156tezt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"450\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/156tezt.jpg\" alt=\"valentines mug rug\" class=\"wp-image-15140 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/156tezt.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/156tezt-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/156tezt-500x409.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/156tezt-150x123.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 550px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 550\/450;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/156tezt.jpg\" alt=\"valentines mug rug\" class=\"wp-image-15140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/156tezt.jpg 550w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/156tezt-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/156tezt-500x409.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/156tezt-150x123.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the template to draw the fishbowl shape on the wrong side of the backing fabric.
