Batting for table runners?
#81
I've never made a table runner before, but I can't imagine not using anything. I have made some placemats and used the Warm & Natural and they turned out fine. Don't forget to post a pic!

I like to use a batting when making table runners. Walmart has one that is perfect and quite reasonable. LOOK FOR IT WHERE THEY DISPLAY THEIR FUSIBLES,ETC. For heat resistant, use thermolam, which can be found in the same place. I used to work at Walmarts fabric dept. before they closed are department. The batting I am referring can also be used for wallhangings and was very popular with our customers. Hope this helps.

I have made tons of table runners for craft shows. I generally use the thinnest batting for them. If the runners are used during a dinner, a thin batting doesn't make the serving dishes and/or glassware sit at a tilt and spill onto the table or guest. Plus, it is easier to get a crisp edge after wshing the runners after use and they store better in a drawer until next holiday or season.
