I agree with Tartan - I make lots of table runners for craft shows and gifts and I find the Hobbs 80/20 fusible is just the right weight and flatness that I like. From the craft/baby quilt size of batt, I can easily cut three runners, even the extra long ones. As for binding, I prefer to stitch to the back by machine, then top-stitch on the front.
