I am going to try making a table runner and I really don't know what size to make it. I have never made one before other than fringing a long red piece one time for a table runner.
What is the usual size or is there such a thing? |
I see them in all sizes. I would think 36 ,was average. Some people want them across the kitchen table so that would be longer...I guess I'm not a big help :wink:

It would probably depend on the size of the table. My dining room table always has the leaves in it and so is very long and I like a nice long runner to fit it. It uses the 120" tablecloths

Well I'm in the dark on it so any ideas are helpful!
We don't have a kitchen table -- well my sink is sunk in the kitchen table- we don't use it to eat at. My dining table is a pool table with a plywood on top! Tablecloth hides the reality and it works for a table! Don't have anywhere else to keep the pool table so it does double duty. So my table is longer than most! It's no help for figuring out a good size to sell. |
Rhonda...do a search for table runners and you can get pretty much an average size of what is out there.

In the Connecting Threads catalog I got today they have kits for table runners. Here are some the sizes of the runners
16 x 40 18 x 44 17.5 x44.5 16 x 41 16 x 32 18 x 42 21 x 46 Hope this helps |
It seems that the design will sort of dictate the finished size.
|
Thank you for all the suggestions! I appreciate it!

It really does depend on the table. I just made one for my cousin it is 16"x62" she has a really long table. But when I make then in general for gifts. I use 12" blocks and then add borders, so they end up a little over 36" long + size of borders.
