No Measure Table Runner with Just a Charger for a Template!!! Use a Pre-Made Quilt!

[@Quiltingbyfaith]

Great video. Never thought of using a store bought quilt. You mentioned that your regular job is making quilts and blankets for funeral homes. I would be fascinated in knowing more. I bet I’m not the only one. Thanks

[@lindab2144]

Tim, I'm an OLD grandma. I've been sewing for over 60 yrs, I enjoy your videos. I've learned a lot of new ways to sew quick & easy items using the premade quilts. Guess you can teach an OLD dog new tricks. HA HA...you could use one of these circles for a hot pad too.... thanks so much for sharing. Happy Stitchin'

[@timothytotten9409]

Thanks! I love teaching old dogs! Lol. Just be careful using premade quilts for anything hot because they often use polyester batting to save money.

[@barbarajohnson1572]

[@timothytotten9409]

Thanks!!

[@digging4roots]

Many, many, many years ago ... I made a small table quilt using that method with scrappy left-over holiday fabrics. To this day, it sits on my coffee table. The backing fabric I chose was more scrappy fabric, but not holiday themed, so I just turn it over when it's not the holiday.

[@carbine090909]

So smart!

[@judygiesbrecht8297]

Great idea. Would work well with a thrifted quilt. ❤🇨🇦

Thank you so much! I get inspired by my audience to come up with something fun. I turn down a lot of my own ideas because I don’t think they’re interesting enough. I’m glad you notice the work I put into it!

[@PortiaLanden]

I like your table runner. I would maybe get some prequilted fabric to make one. Thanks for the idea!

I was wondering what a charger was at first lol but thats a really cool project idea. Thanks for the tutorial 😊

[@timothytotten9409]

Did you figure it out? I realize from a few comments that I should have explained that it’s for table decorating. Lol

[@dirtyhippie]

@@timothytotten9409 I've actually got one of these here and it says the sharing plate so I assumed it was a serving plate like for Thanksgiving or something but yes I also googled it because I was curious if this was a term that was used previously thats going away.

[@phyllisruchalski5037]

I love this idea ! Sometimes I see a quilt I like but not the size for your bed .. now you can create other projects!

[@timothytotten9409]

Yay! Good idea.

You turned me inside out with your conversation about inside and right side out😂😂

[@pasboston4412]

Tim, again, what a great project. Very quick. Your video was just shy of 25 minutes, which leads me to believe you could complete this entire runner in about an hour. I can't wait to go to someplace to buy a pre-maid quilt. I wish you were located closer to Melbourne so I could come sew with you.

[@timothytotten9409]

Glad it was helpful!

I have some of these reversible quilted fabrics. I think some seam binding around the ends will be perfect to complete this. Great, great idea. This would so be great with those cheater cloths that used to be made.

[@judyyoung5079]

I cut my openings first. No danger of cutting the piece you don’t want to cut. Fun quilt, but mine did get heavy as I was using flannel on one side and denim on the back side.

That quilt came from Walmart.

[@patriciamaeanthony3838]

Another top, fold the sides in toward the center, then fold the bottom up. Press to hold the shape. Fold down the top,slightly covering the bottom and press. Add a kam snap and it is a pouch.

[@ZellaMcKenzie]

Hi from Michigan

[@timothytotten9409]

Hello there!

[@jackie-dbdstitchart4969]

Love your inside or right side out! Similar to a discussion I had with my granddaughter that insists on wearing her socks seam side out! Have you thought about cutting the slits before they are stitched together?

[@lindawilliams7652]

❤ this 👍🏿

[@purplesnowdrop]

This looks like it will be interesting See you later

[@patriciamaeanthony3838]

I put sections of stay stitching of equal lengths along the edge of each circle, one thread width into the seam allowance, and use that stay stitching as the guide for leaving a section open for turning. The stay stitching prevents the bias edge from stretching when the sewn circle is turned right side out. Elmer’s Glue can be used on the open sections to keep the edge flat and sharp when the edge is top stitched, eliminating hand stitching. Instead of stopping every few stitches at the outer edges of the circles, measure the radius of the circle. Use that measurement from the needle to the left, and tape a thumbtack with the point up, exactly at the radius measurement. Put two circles together and line up the edge of the circles with the needle, then push the circles down over the thumb tack to the left. Lower the needle and then the presser foot and sew. The thumb tack will cause the machine to sew a perfect, non-wavy, circle, without having to start and stop. Use a walking foot if your machine needs one.

[@yvettemarie5236]

I love the concept of this idea Tim. You could buy clearance items after seasonal sales happens. Also, the inside out thing doesn’t bother me as much as “sew a quarter of an inch on either side”. Many instructors say as teaching techniques for making half square triangles.Because either side means choose one or the other. In actually you are instructing them to sew on both sides of the line. So the saying should be sew a quarter inch on both side of the line. Or perhaps sew on each side of the line. Doesn’t that make more sense?

[@timothytotten9409]

Totally makes sense.

[@thehouselight]

Looks great thank you how about something for Xmas 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌻🌻

[@lourdescastaneda4072]

You sir need to cut It out! 😂 my brain is now imagining a vest frome a pre made quilt, and a jacket! But maybe not a jacket 😂

[@timothytotten9409]

Yes! Do a best!!

[@patriciamaeanthony3838]

If using a single layer of the quilt, just cut a square and use the thumb tack method that I described in a previous comment to sew a small zig zag around in a circle, then trim the excess. As for the binding, use steam to form and shrink the bias binding around the edge. Make chalk registration marks, then open the bias and attach it as usual. There will be less risk of ripples in the bias since it has already been shaped around the curve. If desired, tiny dots of Elmers glue can hold the bias in place while stitching it in place.

[@timothytotten9409]

Great suggestions!!

[@elena3831]

Excellent idea. I guess you could leave an opening in the circle then top stitch around that or would it not work?❤❤

[@timothytotten9409]

Sure but I always end up with a blunt end rather than a curve. So I like this method better. But to each their own!

[@motherhenable]

Years and years ago I learned the less than traditional method and you cut the slit before you join the two circles.

[@sheilakeating9089]

❤

[@HelenLand-r2i]

You could make one side Christmas and the other Thanksgiving. Would that work?.😮

[@timothytotten9409]

I don’t think so because the back color comes to the front when you fold those pieces. So it would have to be a back fabric that could work for both holidays.

[@maryloubahr4744]

I thought this could work under hot dishes at a potluck.

[@timothytotten9409]

Just be careful with batting that is polyester as it tends to melt under higher heat.

[@HeyEyeCeeYou]

Hi Timothy, I looked for this pre-made quilt on the Walmart site, and can't figure out what you used. Is it there or was it a purchase in store? Using this quilt as fabric was a great idea!

What kind of foot do you have on your machine?

[@timothytotten9409]

It’s a 1/4” foot.

[@josephineroche669]

What is a charger Can you please let me know. Can I use a dinner plate.I like to do one like this. Thank you

[@timothytotten9409]

A charger is a decorative plate that is larger than a standard dinner plate. They are often used as a base when laying out a table setting. I would suggest using a large serving plate so you get at least 12-13” of size on your circle.

[@lindawhitver4740]

My mind went to if you put the insulbright or whatever it’s called and it can be a hot plate

[@timothytotten9409]

Of course!!
