I always use batting in my table runners...I like the Dream Cotton request for them...it is light weight, but enough to show any quilting and to be sturdy enough. I don't like a batting too thick for them, but never have made one without batting.
|
When I make tablerunners I use either flannel, that I prewash, or thin cotton batting. I like the really thin stuff for them.
|
I used warm n natural! It is thin, but looks nice, and has a little more stability than one without anything in it!
|
I'm glad you posted again. I think a lot of members were still in shock on the 5th!
Hopefully things will get back to "normal" soon! |
I've made them with thin cotton batting inside and quilted the runner and also made them with nothing inbetween. For me it was a different look depending on what was getting set on it. It's your runner you can make it however you choose and it will look just great

I've used either Warm and Natural or fusible felt.

I was at a craft show on Saturday and only 1 person had quilted items; another person had sewn items...placemats etc. with no batting...I didn't care for the fabrics that she used...or the pattern. The quilt lady had a few full sized quilts, table runners, wallhangings and candle rugs. The candle rugs were not quilted they were large circles of felt with either felt gingerbread men or snowmen appliqued around the edge...kind of like a mini tree skirt. They were cute but I couldn't justify the price...$15.50 for one when she was selling a quilted wallhanging (18" X 36") for $7.50.

I do not think all of the "helpful people" have left this board. I think there is a learning curve that effects the end results any time there is a change or something new going on within a system.

I use Warm & Natural/White for everything I do. It gives a nice flat finish yet shows the quilting and is easy to hand quilt. Plus I like having the extra layer to absorb any moisture when I glass is put on it.

I didn't see many quilted/sewn items either. Runners were going for $20-$25 and pillowcases were $8 each...or should I say "not going for"... nothing seemed to be selling, I think the economy is really slowing down the sales and the quality at the craft shows.
