table runner???
I was just wondering what everyone used for the backing on there table runners... I have to make a few for some gifts and didn't know if I should just use muslin or the christmas fabric from the front. What are your thought on this...
Thanks Carol

With table runners and wallhangings I generally use a coordinating solid fabric. I just can't see the sense in using fabrics from the collection for something no one will ever see! I went with a friend to LQS and he bought a pattern for a wall hanging and then just had the shop staff pull and cut the fabrics that he needed. He wound up spending $35 just for the backing fabric! - El Cheapo, that's me!

I try to put another holiday fabric on the back of mine. Usually if the front it Christmas themed I put fall print on the back and they can use it for Thanksgiving. I also make the binding two colors to match each side.

Depends on where I'm planning to use the runner. As my kitchen is my favorite space I often use coordinating checkerboard fabric as backing. This way I always get a nice "country" style runner too in a reversible runner.
