I use light weight batting, felt, double layers of flannel or iron-on interfacing. Much of it depends on the type runner it is whether season or otherwise. I like the batting best anduse Elmer's spray adhesive to hold sections in place. When washed, it dissolves. Just a little messy but with practice have learned to keep in off my hands.

I've used flannel and left over fusible batting...thin. Just gives a little more umph. BUT since it just sits on the cooking island, think going forward, maybe won't but anything inside. Just love the spash of color they add to my kitchen.

I always fold mine up out of the way if its just me and hubby sitting down to the table. If I have company, I remove it completely. I don't want anything spilled on it!!

My friend said she sprays her table runners with a fabric protection spray so the spills will wash away. May in Jersey

Me too. On my To Do List for 2011 are several scrap quilts made only from my stash. A while ago I bought about 10 yards of muslin at 50% off and plan to use it as the background fabric for the quilts. That should keep me plenty busy in the new year. May in Jersey

Thanks so much for all these suggestions! I'd been using Warm and Natural because I didn't know about all these options.

my mom started using interfacing... we both got bolts of it when it was super cheap one day at joann's. I haven't tried it yet though.

Yes, I do. I am a traditionalist! If it isn't a puffy, it isn't a "quilt!!" :)

I use Warm and Natural because it is cotton. Sometimes, I will put a candle jar or a candle on a candle plate on the runner and feel safer with the cotton batting. I do like the feel of it.
