  • Let's make a new table runner! I decided I'm done with winter and ready for spring, so I need a pretty new table runner. If you'd like to join me in making this table runner, you'll need the following fabric:
    *28 charm squares (or 28- 5 inch squares of fabric in a variety of colors and patterns)
    *1/2 yard of background fabric
    *1/2 yard of backing fabric
    *just over 1/4 yard of binding fabric (10 inches of yardage)
    *some batting--you can piece together batting scraps to get the size you need.
    **Cut your charm squares in half, then cut one stack of halves in half again.
    From the background cut:
    ** 18 2.5" squares
    **8 5.5" squares, which are then cut in half on the diagonal
    **4 strips of fabric that are 2.5" wide and width-of-fabric long.
    For your binding, cut 4 strips at 2.5" wide and width-of-fabric long (about 40")
    Note: These fabric quantities will make a table runner that is 62" long and 15/5" wide. If you'd like yours to be bigger or smaller, adjust the fabric accordingly.

    This video has been in the works for weeks due to some technical difficulties. I'm an old hand at sewing and quilting, but I'm still a novice at making videos. My laptop ran out of storage space in the middle of the editing process so I had to put it on hold till I figured out how to safely clear up space without deleting anything terribly important. I still managed to delete some video footage that I had intended to use and had to re-record a couple of segments.

      My husband is my enabler, he said he wanted a house filled with quilts. So in less than a year I have made 16 quilts & 10 table runners. He has gotten me every supply I could possibly want 🥰 but I told him no long arm at my age. I quilt on my large hoop embroidery machine and larger projects I send out. I am having too much fun buying fabric and piecing quilt tops.

    That’s a “stitch in the ditch” presser foot. I use mine often but have never seen it used in this way. An old quilter, I’m always learning. And your explanation of mitering corners that are not right angles was teriffic.

    Thank you for this tutorial. I have been looking for this pattern also. what is the measurement of the triangle fabric or how do you determine the measurement to cut the triangle fabric?

    • @loriar1027
      @loriar1027  Рік тому +2

      I first cut a square of 5.5" fabric and then cut that in half on the diagonal. That gives you a triangle that is very slightly bigger than you need, but I feel like I get a better result if I cut it bigger and trim it down after it's sewn. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

    Thank you so much for the video. Can I ask why you are spraying the runner before you quilt it?

    • @loriar1027
      @loriar1027  Рік тому +3

      I spray it for a couple of reasons. The setting triangles are cut on the bias, so they get a bit wavy with the handling they go through with sewing the rows together. So starching helps prevent pleats when I sew the borders on. Also, it helps keep the fabric really flat during the quilting process, so I don't get any wrinkles or pleats. I feel like it helps me get a slightly more accurate result--but like most things in quilting, it's personal preference.
