Stain Glass Table Runner

Sewing supplies:
3/4 yard cotton, linen or linen blend home dec fabric 58 to 60 wide
3/4 yard fabric for backing. It could be the same as the runner or contrasting.
Assorted fabrics for appliqu, or one multicolor fabric as shown
Eyelet Cutter
Assorted sewing threads
Tear Away Stabilizer
1/4 wide Steam-A-Seam 2
1. Decide if you want to arrange the center designs to leave an empty
space in the center, like the blue runner, for a center piece, or if you
want the designs to come together to form a center design like the green
runner.
2. Cut one runner 20 x 58.
3. Trace or photocopy your template of the design,mirroring it. Use an eyelet
cutter to cut holes in the center, and at the top, bottom and side coordinates.
4. Following the photos, arrange the templates. Pin one in place. To mark the
runner for embroidery, fold the fabric in half lengthwise, then in half crosswise as shown. Place your marks as
indicated on the top layer, and then
place a pin, straight down, through each mark. Mark all the
layers.
5. The centers were sewn with the smaller designs, in multiple hoopings, marked as above.
6. Hoop 2 layers of Tear Away stabilizer. Place the hoop in the machine. Lower the needle into the
center mark. Line up the other marks with the marks on the hoops. Raise the needle. Place your template on top of the fabric, and check to see if you need to mirror the design. The stitching order listed
on the following pages will give you the colors used in the samples.

The samples were sewn with the multicolored fabric, as the appliqu
fabric. It gives you a great variety of different shadings in the same
fabric. The fabric used had gold veining on the right side of the
fabric, which was a bit too much for this project, but the back
of the fabric was perfect!

NOTE: If your machine does not recognize STOP

commands, use the PCS les, and follow the stitching
order given on the extra sheet.
