how the points are done.Is there a video on line?

The points are made by folding the corners at each end into triangles that meet, but don't overlap. Sew them down to keep them in position. Hope that helps.

Wondering tho, if you wanted to add batting, did you just slip that in the tube after sewing together? Thanks again for the tutorial. I made some placemats to match by cutting the tube in half.

I used iron on 'firm' pellon on the back side of one of the fabrics. That gave the table runner 'body', and allowed me to use the tube method, too. You could probably do the same thing with iron on batting, or you could sew batting on the back of one of the fabrics and then make the tube.

Thank you for sharing.. great gift idea...

The pattern I use is 9" wide center fabric and 18" wide border fabric but the same instructions. Batting or not up to you.
