How to make
a
small Autumn Quilted Appliqué Table Runner
For this cute little Autumn appliqué'
table runner you will need: green plaid homespun fabric, orange fabric, a
scrap piece of brown fabric, quilt batting, and basic sewing supplies. |
 |
First, let's make your
table runner pattern. Take an 8 1/2" X 11 1/2" piece of computer
paper and fold the top corners to meet in the center just like the photo shows.
Write on your paper in the center "Cut 2 on FOLD". Make
the bottom "place on fold" as shown in the photo. |
 |
Pin and cut 2 of the table
runner on the fold line as shown in the photo.
Pin and cut 1 of the table runner pattern out of quilt batting. |
 |
Make yourself a pumpkin
pattern. Pin and cut 2 out of orange fabric. |
 |
Place the pumpkins on
opposite ends of ONE of the table runners. Place the pumpkins
pretty side up on top of the runner pretty side up. Pin in place.
Cut a "pumpkin stem" out of scraps of brown fabric and put it under the
pumpkin with a little bit showing as seen in the photo.
We will be using the
machine appliqué method. Zigzag stitch
around the pumpkin and stem stitching close to edge of the pumpkin.
|
|
 |
Place your quilt batting
piece on a flat surface. Next place one piece of table runner pretty
side up. Next place a 2nd table runner piece pretty side down as
shown in the photo. Pin all the way around the runner. Leave
an opening for turning. Straight stitch around the runner using the
pressure foot as your guide. Don't forget to leave an opening. |
|
 |
Trim seams and clip corners.
Turn your table runner pretty side out. Poke out corners. Press.
Hand stitch the opening closed. |
|
 |
To "quilt" your runner,
straight stitch 2 lines down each pumpkin going through all 4 layers of
fabric. Stitch them so they appear to make the pumpkin look 3D, as
seen in the photo. Your Autumn table runner with
appliquéd pumpkins is done!!! |
