Looking for an answer, can anyone help? I recently found these directions for a table runner, but can't find the entire directions. Want to make as a Christmas gift. looked on line and can't find the website even! HELP!
Supplies: Star Table Runner pattern by Farmyard Creations Available from your favorite quilt shop or www.farmyard-creations.com One 8-1/2î x 11î piece of card stock or one manila folder Glue stick One and one-third yards each of two different fabrics for the runner or One-third of a yard each of two different fabrics for the centerpiece Ordinary sewing thread to match your fabric One yard of thin batting such as Warm & Naturalô One-half yard fusible web One spool metallic thread Smoke monofilament thread by YLIô Tailorís Chalk Pencil, Chalk wheel marker or fabric marking pen Point Turner Machine(s) and Accessories: 6005 Heirloom Edition or Any Elna Sewing Machine with a zigzag stitch Instructions: 1. Trace both star designs onto paper, then glue the paper to a piece of card stock or a manila file folder. Cut out the stars and they are ready to use as templates. By doing this, your original pattern stays intact. 2. Use your template and your chalk marker to trace around the large star design on the wrong side of the fabric you want to be the top of your table runner. Cut the ìturning slitî on the top fabric. 3. Follow the pattern instructions to finish the eight stars. 4. Once you have the star appliquÈs fused in place, select the feather stitch #50. Set the width at 3.5 and the length at 2.0. Lower your tension to 3. Thread the needle with the metallic thread and have the monofilament thread in the bobbin. Stitch around the star appliquÈs. Use your ìneedle downî feature to help you navigate around the star points. 5. Rethread your needle with the monofilament thread and put your ordinary sewing thread in the bobbin. Reset the machine tension to ìautoî. 6. Lay out your stars according the diagram on the pattern and bar tack the points together. A ìbar tackî stitch is simply the zigzag stitch set at 4.0 width and 0.2 length. Use your ìlock stitchî feature to secure the threads. 7. The table centerpiece is three of the finished stars bar tacked according to the illustration. |
I'm glad you could get together. Half the people I have asked about getting together have acted like they really didn't want to be bothered. Maybe it's just me.
