Do you do free motion quilting on your table runners

9 years ago

My plan is to make another table runner and learn how to use this method to quilt it with my Paff sewing machine.

How do you quilt yours?

I seem to be in the mood to make table runners. I had not made any for a number of years.

I do have about 3 quilts lined up I need to do. I just have not been in the mood to quilt. I was laid up with 2 rotator cuff surgeries 9 months apart on the same shoulder. This month I have just finished up 2 years worth of PT. I am so far behind on just cleaning house and outdoor yard work will be waiting for me this Spring that I can't think of big sewing projects right now.

Loralee, a table runner is a great size for practicing FMQ. It's easy to maneuver and easy to finish.

When I make runners I tend to be lazy about the quilting. I think since it's a small project I want to be done really fast. :)

I found it hard to make a pleasant looking stitch. Hopefully, I have time to try again today.
