I am trying to make this table runner, I don't have a pattern I have just watched a video on you tube.
are the end triangle suppose to match, I have tried everything I can think of to match them and they still don't match. The lines match but not the flower parts. Is this right or am I doing something wrong..Maybe I should just break down and buy the pattern ...Please excuse my messy ironing board ....Thanks |
it is difficult. you must mark a flower or what ever part of the design on your template or ruler and cut all pieces with that in place to match. it looks very well so far, I wouldn't worry about it. the fabric is lovely.

I'm not that careful. I just let them fall where they may.
|
I just match the most obvious design element which in your runner is the lines.
|
I th8nk it looks fine and you’ll be happy with it when it’s quilted. I agree that matching the lines is the most important thing.
|
I've made several of these, and unless you have lots of extra fabric, you won't be able to get them to match up perfectly. You will end up wasting a lot of fabric. Like Tartan mentioned, if you match up the lines, the rest of it flows nicely! I think it looks wonderful the way it is, and once it is quilted and puffy, you'll barely notice!
|
Firstly - the runner looks great! I love the fabric and the way it turned out. Like Tartan, I too just match the obvious design elements. There is almost no possible way to have everything match.
|
I think it looks terrific ! and I agree with the others matching the lines makes it work perfectly.
|
Looks great to me. Never made one and won't, can't keep newspapers and such off the table long enough to put a runner on it.
|
I think it is gorgeous just as it is, but if you're determined to make it match perfectly, you could try moving the right side up maybe a half inch to an inch and see if that works.
