Re: another coaster for your wine glass

Very pretty, Jeanne, and such a good idea. Actually, in self-defense, I made quilt toppers for my tables and slipped rubber-backed flannel beneath them. Polly

but this one doesnt attach to the stem of the glass.
the first one has no batting either.

i reckon you could have a round batted fit over the stem coaster that ticks
all the boxes.
using stacked circles...
two circles, folded in half, right side out, lay with folds just barely
touching,
one fabric circle for the base, right side down,
one batting circle,
one fabric circle, right side up.
now you should be able to stitch round the edge
and turn the folded pieces out and around to the other side,
top stitch again round the edge to hold it all in place nicely
and slip the coaster over the bottom of the glass.
dont ask me to figure out what size circles to start with tho.
that'd depend on the glass base and allowance for seams and top stitching
too.
i thot it might look a bit less awkward than the square slip over coaster
thats all.

anyone reading this who can visualize this?
i didnt try it, just thot it should work from the first link and next page
ideas i read there.
if it wont work, just tell me and i'll go back into my cave.
its getting rather cosy in here, albeit a bit lonely.

this one slips over the bottom of the stemmed wine glass
so its always there, no matter where the glass is set down, to protect all
the furniture.
i thot this was clever if a bit awkward looking but who cares if it saves a
ring on the table.
