We are looking for trim to put on placemats. Also maybe rick-rack or piping or braid.

I don't have any but you can go here: www.home-sew.com and also look up jk trims i think it's called .

I might have something, what colors are you looking for?

Try making prairie points. It will always match and you can make them pretty small if needed.

Do you live a long distance from any fabric stores?

I tend to forget that some people don't have the luxury of several stores within "easy reach"

I am trying to understand your question :lol: Are you looking for suggestions on what to put on or where to get it ?

If you have washed/shrunk your fabric before cutting/sewing it, you should consider washing/shrinking your trims before applying them. Some of them also shrink.

You will not believe this but I have 40 year old rickrack. in assorted colors and sizes.

My thoughts also......most fabric stores carry various types of trim/laces.

Thank you I will go there and see what I can find.

I know what you are talking about :lol:

I just made one and was thinking about putting a button there :wink:

Can someone post a link to what you are talking about?

I don't get what you are doing.

Bearisgrey it is a very basic table runner . The bottom fabric is bigger then the top ( wider ) sew the side seams together , fold in half press. So part of the bottom fabric now becomes the top . Sew the ends and fold up to the top , they become points . She wants the trim for the top ends that you sewed and folded over .

I don't know how well you can see it but that is what my niece made for her first sewing : http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-65504-1.htm
