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.
