Simple Table Runner



I was lucky enough to get my hands on a charm pack of Aneela's Sherbet Pips around Christmas.  I knew I wanted to make a table runner with it.  I wanted to keep it a simple pattern because the fabrics themselves are just so darn cute.  I found this easy table runner pattern on Moda Bake Shop, and it was just perfect!  I used some light gray for the little bit of sashing and some darker gray as the binding.   The giant red ric rac really jazzes it up, I think, in just the right way.


I love how this turned out, and look how much better my stippling is getting!  I was so pleased with myself. Hah. ;0)  I am still having a tiny bit of tension issues on the back though.  Some spots just look kind of skipped over if that makes sense.  I tried adjusting the tension a couple of times, and it is only happening in certain spots.  I am using a Janome MC6600.  Any ideas?

I am linking this one up to Amy's Sew and Tell!  There are always lots of fun projects that are shared!

  2. the issues you are having might have to deal with speed you are feeding the fabric. You need to feed evenly, if you speed up in spots, you can get areas where the tension looks wrong. I think it might have been this blog http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/ where I saw a break-down of this happening.

  3. So cute, Meg. Your stippling looks great. I am dying to get my hands on some Sherbet Pips, but I'll probably have to wait until it's released in April. I already have two projects picked out that I want to make with it.
