Thread: 10 min table runner??

Has anyone put a light weight batting in the 10 min table runner? I need a table runner in a hurry and found this one on the internet and thought I would try it, but I would like to do a little quilting on it and the patter does not call for batting..
What are your thoughts on this? Thanks Carol

i have used light weight batting and flannel in placemats and quilted those without any problem.

froggy is now in New Mexico!
Ditto the flannel. I left the ends straight and then put some trim on them. It worked out fine. froggyintexas

Thanks everyone for your advice on putting batting in my table runner or not.. I did try putting the batting in and then cutting a point so the folded part didn't have any batting and was not so thick, but that was kind of hard to do so I think the next one will be just putting the batting in the body of the runner and not the points..Thanks again to everyone for there advice..Carol

The only problem I could see if when the ends are folded back to make the point. You could either leave it straight or determine where the flat end would be and just put the batting in the straight section.

Carol, I have made sev of these runners. I found I liked it when I put a piece of batting (I only use Warm & Natural) just on the center section & not in the point sections. The folded sections are thick enough to even it out. Worth a try.

I like batting also. I did not put batting in the points but did put it in the body of the runner...just top stitch on sides and quilt middle so it stays flat....
