I don't put a non-slip mat under my rugs, but I haven't had a problem with them shifting around, either.<br /><br />I hope you give them a try!<br /><br />AJAmanda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311818385469850186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-32082856020228070342015-06-02T07:55:20.764-05:002015-06-02T07:55:20.764-05:00Aimee,

I really like them both! You could try to make a smaller version of each method (pot holder or placemat size) to see what you prefer. <br /><br />I hope that helps!<br /><br />AJAmanda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311818385469850186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-72552536104247205752015-06-02T07:53:13.509-05:002015-06-02T07:53:13.509-05:00Bernie Kringel,

You can dry the rugs in either the drier or let them air dry.
