Hi Cheryl. I agree that you are a wonderful teacher, and love listening to you. This particular video is just what I needed to finish off a couple of runners.

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Wonderful!

[@user-wf4fp4fj5g]

Hi. Just found your great tutorial. I bought material about 6 months ag with the intent of making a table runner for my daughter. Could not figure out where to start. This a special fabric and I kept putting off cutting it since I can't find any more of the design. Your tutorial was just what I needed and I just finished her Christmas gift. It came out perfect. Thank you sooo much.

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi User-wf4fp. Glad you were able to make this table runner. Your daughter will love it. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍

[@elizcc]

Good on you, Cheryl! For your "very first" how-to video, you did better than many seasoned instructors. I appreciate your detailed steps to give any beginner a sense of "I think I can do this, too" kind of encouragement. Love the plate tip.

[@tonyag9218]

Great video! I finally get this. Other videos did not seem to help. Either they were quilted which i did not want or they were confusing. Thank you so much!

[@tonyag9218]

I meant to add this was exactly what I was looking for as a beginner. I have watched videos most seem to be quilted or with borders and I het the quilted kitchen mats and borders, I just do not seem to understand how to do the runners with borders for some reason. It looks so easy and I have waisted fabric to try it but with no success. Your a great teacher. Thanks again.

You are a great teacher! I’m wondering how to make one with a hole for an umbrella but nice enough for the dining room table. Any suggestions?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

You would have to cut a hole in the center, and cut a slit from the side to the center. Install a zipper on the slit. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

Hi Sherrille, hope your Christmas was a good one. Thank you for the advice on the 4 corners table runner . It came out beautiful. I kinda chicken out with the quilting. But I can always go back and do it. I will send pictures on it. Another question. Now I’m going to make fabric napkins with the leftover material. I want Two-way napkins to match the runner. but also would like it to be mitered on the corners. Is that possible?

[@lissettefeliciano9945]

Wow! Great tutorial! Love it 😍. Thanks

[@ceoofmyhome]

beautiful! thank you for sharing!

[@m_emett]

When you snip around the curve, without clipping the seam, what keeps it from unraveling after it’s turned? Would pinking shears help?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Mary. You should do small clips towards the seams on the curves, or use pink shears (but don't make the seam to wide on the corner). After turning the table runner front side out, press all the seams. Then do top stitching along the outer edges - about 1/8" wide. This will keep the table runner's shape, also prevent unraveling of the seams. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍

[@patie48nce]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It is a big help for beginners. May God bless you.

[@tboneforever68]

Love this video very helpful. im a beginner. But i did a quarter inch seam allowance. i didnt notice you said half inch. will that make a big difference? Thanks for the video !!

[@zoharafogel4388]

Hello, thanks for the great lesson in sewing runner, I would like to ask if it is possible to wash the runner with the beads?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Zohara. Yes, hand wash in cool water, and lay flat to dry. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.😍

[@shelaghglazier]

Did you hand stitch the opening closed before you top stitched, or just folded it inside and top stitched over the opening?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Shelaghglazier. Fold the edges inside and machine top stitch over the opening. Happy sewing.

What’s the measurements on the four point table runner how long and wide

[@jessicalanning8478]

Do you have to use fusible webbing?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Jessica. You can use fusible interfacing, fusible fleece, or cotton batting. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@jessicalanning8478]

@@TheSewingRoomChannel Sorry I didn't word that correctly, let me explain. I make table runners without anything in the middle because I'll have to charge more if I add anything else. Although, if there are benefits to having the "inside" material then I would change how I make them going forward adjusting the cost as well. PS I am 36 years old and a self taught seamstress that started making facemasks during the pandemic which launched my Etsy business. I have been watching your KZbin videos from the start and will continue. I hope to grow up and be like you one day! 🪡❤

[@margaretharvey1583]

This was great to watch, but it would be helpful if you shared the measurements of the fabric you started with so we have an idea of the size it ends up. Nice job... This would also be a great way to make placemats, too... especially with the round or 4 point edges.

Hi there, How are you tonight? I’m doing a table runner 96 inches long and 19 inches wide. I’m using cotton batting. I do not want binding. I want 4 corners. I just don’t know how to put together, which is confusing me a whole lot. I did add the extra 1 inch batting. Just want to sew it and turn inside out.please tell me in which order it goes so I can sew this. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Bethzaida. Not a problem. Cut the fabric and cotton batting 19 1/2" x 96 1/2". Place the fabric for the top and bottom front sides together (pretty side). Place them on top of the cotton batting. Pin the edges - leave an area open on one side that will be used to turn the runner front side out. Stitch 1/4" seam on all 4 sides - do not stitch over the opening. Trim some of the fabric off at each corner. Turn the runner front sides out. Poke the corners out. At the opening, fold the edges inside 1/4" and pin closed. Place pins around the edges to keep them flat, and stitch about 1/8" from the edge on all 4 sides. Because you are using cotton batting. I recommend you do a very basic quilt stitch (top stitching) pattern. Do rows about 3" apart. This keeps the cotton batting together. Go to my home page for more table runner instructions: kzbin.info Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.

[@tinakirksey9675]

Can anyone give me their opinion? I have a rectangular table that usually seats 4-6 people. Do you let the table runner hang off the edge and place the placement on top of it, or do you make the table runner shorter so it doesn’t touch your placement? Does this sound weird?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Tina. This is a great question that many people ask. It is a matter of personal taste. Their are no rules in sewing and crafts -- just suggestions. You can make it any length and width that suits your needs. Hope this helps. Glad you liked the table runner pointed and round tutorial. Thanks for watching💗and happy sewing😍

[@m_emett]

I have some that hang off the edge and I have to move it when we eat. I started making my length shorter, so I could leave it on the table as a decoration. That way it stays clear of plates.

[@sharonbeeghly7857]

how do you sew the beads on? what stage is that sewn onto the edge?

[@lenoramabray4595]

I had a applique top for my table runner. When I tried the triangle ends it covered half of the end pumpkins. I cut it off to do 4 corner example and there is no border at the ends. Now how do I fix it so there are end borders?

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Lenora. I'm a little confused. If you have cut too much fabric off at the ends, you can add extra fabric at each end. Then cut the ends in any shape you want. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍

[@michellewayne2653]

Hello, I need to make a table runner for a table that has rounded edges. I need to either use a tassel or beaded fringe on it. My question is, how do I make the hangover edge to fit the round of the table and drape correctly? Thank you!

[@TheSewingRoomChannel]

Hi Michelle. I recommend keeping the width of the table runner to no more than 10" to 12" wide. As far as the length, do this. Measure the length of your table and add the number of inches (times 2) that you want the runner to drop over the edge. Beaded fringe hangs better if the ends of the runner are square. A tassel works better on pointed ends. I hope I was able to help. Let me know how it turns out. Happy sewing.

[@michellewayne2653]

Thank you, I will try the pointed edge with tassel as she wants a 14" width for the runner.
