I found a free table runner pattern at www.quiltbug.com named Flying Stars Table Runner. I'm confused by the directions for making flying geese. I've cut (40) 3 1/2' x 3 1/2" squares and (20) 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" rectangles. It says to press the (40) 3 1/2" squares on the diagonal, wrong sides together, making them into triangles. Pin them to both sides of the rectangles, overlapping them slightly in the center. Stay stitch these 1/8" from the edge. It doesn't say what to do with them after that. Do I sew the 1/8" stitching on the top or side edge and do I cut the triangles or do they stay folded? The next page just goes to putting the star together. I'm more a visual learner than reading. I found a couple tutorials, but they don't seem to be the same thing. They told me to press the rectangle in half & the runner directions don't say to do that. Help!
