I'm making many for a craft show in November. With the bargello type, I can make them 20" or 40" long. (The width is about 14" if that matters. The price is $30 or $60 if that counts.)

So--please let me know if you saw a gorgeous runner done in floral bargello :lol: :wink: would you buy a 20" or 40".

I'll make more of whatever the results are.
Thanks!

I would probably get the 40" one, only because I have a large table.

More importantly, do you have a pattern for this? I want to make one each in Thanksgiving and Christmas colors, and to match my china, but I haven't done a bargello yet and am kind of unsure how to do it!

I would buy 20 for my small table and 40 for the dinning room.

Nope. Well sort of... but since I'm selling, I'm not sharing. ;) Sorry!

I'd prefer 40" but (call me cheap) I can't see $60 for a table runner. I'd find a pattern you can make and sell in the everyday consumer's price range. Glenda

Those who have seen them say it's a very fair price... there are 20+ different fabrics in each. One even said the price "is a steal." So, I'll start here and adjust if necessary. They've all sold so far!

Having seen the table runners you make...I think it is a steal for $60...I know that you obsess about which fabrics bring out the best in all the others, and they are just beautiful!!!
Personally, I would only need a smaller one, but the larger size will show the pattern more. Sorry, Karla, not much help...

I would probably buy the 40" although it wouldn't fit my table that is quite long. Would love to see the pattern yhou are using, as I would like to make a few as gifts for the kids.

I think both sizes will sell as not everyone has the same size tables, and then there are those who will be buying them for gifts too :D:D:D
