The finished table runner now decorates my Studio Collection space saving design/cutting table in my sewing space. When it’s folded up, it takes up less space than the bookshelf it replaced. And, it’s way more useful! Baste the layers of the quilt sandwich together using 505 Adhesive. Once you have a long enough piece of batting, make a quilt sandwich. Spray baste the layers together using 505 Reposition Fabric Adhesive. Attach your machine’s walking foot according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Position the walking foot edge to the edge of the spool, echo quilt along the spool. Then, stitch in the ditch along the vertical sashing. Set your machine up to free motion quilt the side panels. Cut four 2" binding strips along the width of fabric. Join the binding strips together (see photo). Press the binding strip away from the runner. Turn the runner over and fold the binding strips to the back. Use Wonder Clips to hold the folded binding in place. Press the fold, taking care not to melt the clips with the iron. Slip stitch the binding to the back of the runner. Well, we’re done quilting the Only Spooling Around table runner. It can now decorate the Studio Collection Home Hobby and Design Table from HA Kidd. My table has a great new outfit for when it’s just being a decorative part of my sewing space. z 62 QUILTsocial .com ● spring 2015
