Thanks so much for all your comments - I love Celtic applique and have taught it many times. I cut my own bias strips and then use either the bias bars which you can purchase in most quilt shops or the Clover electric machine which turns under the edges, then I add 1/4" fusing agent to the strips, place a Teflon see-through sheet over the paper pattern (you can also use kitchen parchment paper), and fuse the bias directly onto the see-through sheet or paper. The big surprise is when you find you can just lift that off the sheet and arrange it on your background fabric and it will hold it's shape, then you iron it into place with a hot, dry iron. I have machine stitched on both sides of the bias but much prefer the look of hand-stitching and find it so relaxing.

I have recently experimented with bias tape designs and found that Elmer's is great for basting the bias down, and sewing along the edges is much easier and more accurate. You can sew through the glue, but I still try to keep it away from the edges especially if I am hand sewing it on.

Great Celtic knot! I've done a pillow in a Celtic knot -- a fun and labor intensive project. I love your color choices.

I love it. Fun to do, isn't it?

Are you actually going to sell that beautiful runner instead of keeping it?
