Giving ten minute table runners as Christmas gifts?
I just love making these. Great way to use my stash! But in regards to giving them as Christmas gifts, do they look "cheap" since there is no batting? I dressed up Halloween ones with buttons shaped like bats and spiders and my nieces and mom LOVED them. I have a lot of Christmas material and was thinking of making some ( well actually lots of them! lol) for Christmas gifts but I don't want to appear cheap. I am going to jazz them up with buttons and stuff. Just wondering what you all think!

I used a firm but flexible interfacing in mine. It gave it a crisp professional look. I bought it at Walmart, it was a Pellon product but I don't have the exact name. I went mostly by feel to what I wanted to use. Just the fabric sewn gives the topper a little too much homemade look and not the handmade look I wanted for gifts.

If i want them nicer I use batting and lightly quilt. I just like the look better. great for a last minute gift. Receiver does not have to know how little time it took to make. Usually takes longer to find the right fabric combination.
