Thank you so much for showing in detail how to cut the fabric. I always have trouble how to arrange larger pieces to cut. Your attention to detail is much appreciated.
Today I needed a refresher on how to make these. This is hands down the best tutorial I've seen! Thank you for being clear on instructions, taking your time to show each and every step down to minute details! Bravo! God's blessings!
Hi Isabel. Rotary cutting blades have oil on them and they should not rust.. I use mine so much that they blade wears out before it begins to rust. Stay safe. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
I’d love to see you do the quilting on your sewing machine. Like talk about stitch lengths etc. to make those nice quilting stitches. Quilting is my biggest battle. You’re a great teacher! I’m very grateful for your tutorials, thank you!! 💜
Am fairly new to quilting and saw this done in a class I was taking so I came home and watched this video to see how to do it myself. This video is fantastic. Slow and very easy to follow and understand. Made the one while watching this video, and now I am going to make a bunch more for Christmas Gifts. I love this table runner. Thank you so much for this video. Am looking forward to more of your wonderful videos.
I am greatly impressed by the manner in which you have delivered this tutorial. Your presentation was exceedingly precise and easily comprehensible for anyone. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for this tutorial. Sending warm and affectionate wishes all the way from Sri Lanka.😍 May you remain in good health and safety. Please take care.
First time viewer and I love you already Ms Cheryl 😊 I’m getting my supplies together now and can’t wait to make this. Thanks for keeping the instructions easy to follow 👍🏽
I told my daughter I would make her a table runner for her huge table that sits 12 people. I've had the fabric for over a year and I finally thought I really need to do. It literally took me no time at all with your fantastic instructions. It's going to make a beautiful gift for her for Christmas because she can't seem to find a table runners big enough for her table. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Cheryl, I have made the table runner and love it. Your videos have inspired me to make the runner and place mats to give as a set for Christmas. Thank you so much for your tutorials.
I just made this yesterday. It turned out pretty decent. I'm still a novice. I think your web page is fabulous and I saw many things I am going to be making! 2 things I want to mention I especially like is the halloween treat bags. I have been thinking of looking for a pattern for them and also I LOVE your placemats with the built in holders for the silverware. Very clever! You are a talented lady and I'm glad I found your page :) Have a great day!
Thanks for your great videos. I appreciate your time, talent and patience in your instructions and that you go at a slower pace. It helps me to see what you are doing by not rushing through the steps 😊
Hi Priyana. Glad you liked the 10 minute table runner. Here is a Christmas table runner you might also like: th-cam.com/video/69kiDcnq8Y4/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
Thanks for the step by step video. I’ve watched others and they go so fast it’s hard to catch everything. This will be a wonderful project for my 13 year old granddaughter and I to do for Christmas.
Thank you again for teaching me how to make another great project......i am new at sewing and you once again your instructions are so easy to follow...going to make Christmas gifts for my co workers
Very nice video, I will definitely be making some of these. When you use stabilizer on just the center section it seems that would leave the edges rather limp in comparison. I would probably use the batting and cut it to size after sewing the two long seams and cut the ends to a point to fit. then slide it inside after turning the tube. I really liked your fabric combinations, just lovely.
Hi Adele. Yes you can cut the batting to fit, but it would take more time. So many people now days want very quick and easy projects. Hope you have lots of fun making this table runner. Happy sewing.
Just what I was looking for! Thank you so much. My Sweetheart wants a runner for his night stand. He has a c-pap and worries about scratches and ruining the finish on it Wonderful tutorial. I went looking around your channel and see several others I want to watch. Alas, it will have to wait until tomorrow evening. Its time from bed. Take care and be well.
My fabric from Joan's came folded(hot dog style) and is 21" when unfolded is 42" wide. I bought 4 yards so is really long. QUESTION.. Do I unfold it and then folded the other direction (long way) and make my cuts.
If you are making a 40" long table runner, you do not need to unfold the fabric. Cut the fabric from selvage edge to the folded edge. If you are making a longer table runner, you have 2 options for cutting the fabric. You can cut two 42" pieces and stitch them together, or turn the fabric and then cut the length you want. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.😍
These are very pretty-2 questions though 1) what size was the table that this was made for? I have a massive dining/ gaming table and want to keep it proportionate.2) what type of stitch did you use? I haven’t sewn in years and my machine has all sorts of stitch options
Hi Kris. This table runner finish 42" long. If you want to make this longer, go to this link: th-cam.com/video/Gknwp3wyKPI/w-d-xo.html You can make this any length you want. If you have any questions or need help, leave a comment in the Comment section below your TH-cam screen. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching💗and happy sewing😍
Hi Melissa. Did you use something pointed (not too sharp) to push out the pointed ends? Did you press the seam open at each end? Since I can't see it, I'm not sure what happened. The points will be somewhat blunt. Thanks so much for watching. 😍
Am I correct here- you do not quilt on machine until all sewing is complete ? I love making these runners. Have just started to teach myself how to machine quilt. Thank you
Hi Sherry. Here is the link to the longer length 10 minute table runner: th-cam.com/video/Gknwp3wyKPI/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Hi Sherrill, thank so much for your detailed explanation on this project. I have made these before, but I love the way you do yours, as well as your teaching style. I absolutely how you go through every aspect of the project without rushing or assuming that the viewers know how it's done. Thank you and keep the videos coming!!!
Hi Susie. Sorry I confused you. After many years of purchasing fabric I have learned to buy just a little more than needed. Often the person cutting the fabric at the store cuts it incorrectly. Stay safe. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
1/3 yard of interfacing isn’t long enough for the center. I’m I doing something wrong? I think you need 1yard and 8 inches of interfacing..so it’s the same length of the center
Hi Natasha. It is a very good question. Here is a link to my tutorial on how to make it longer: th-cam.com/video/Gknwp3wyKPI/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Thank you so much for this easy pattern. I can't wait to make my first one. I will be making each of my 5 children at least one or maybe more. Thank you!
This is what I’m doing for Christmas this year. Been putting materials together first and about to start. Going to make matching placemats , potholders, dish towels and mits. Have at least 5 sets to make. So excited 😆
If I am stitching white fabric and a very dark fabric together, I would prewash the fabric because the dark color will run onto the white fabric. If you are concerned about fabric shrinking, then prewash. I don't place food on my table runners so I don't have to worry about washing the fabric. If the table runner should get dirty, I just spot clean it. Some individuals spray Scotchguard on it. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Hi Lupe. You are not an idiot. Let me know where is the tutorial you get lost. Give me the minute and seconds. I will try to explain it to you. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Hi Sheryl! I moved into a house with no hardware for affixing rolls of toilet paper, so they sit on the floor. There is a short towel bar within reach. Ideas? Thank you and Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!
Hi Joann. Yes prewash the fabric before cutting the fabric. Also before washing do a zigzag stitch on the 2 raw edges of the uncut fabric. This will prevent the fabric from unraveling during the wash/dry cycle. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
Hi Laurrie. At the end of each bolt of fabric is the fabric description - width, fiber content, and cleaning instructions (washable or dry clean). The width of the fabric is from selvage edge to selvage edge. The selvage edge is finished off so that it does not unravel. The raw edge is the cut edge. Most cotton quilting fabrics range from 42" to 45" wide. Clothing fabric ranges from 50" to 60" wide. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching💗and happy sewing😍
Hi Debra. I have lots of table runner tutorials and should have more then one related to what you're looking for. Here is a playlist to all my table runner tutorials. 😀 th-cam.com/play/PLk1NiZvKG3bdPfoy_Eiakv-5xzbotjchb.html
Hi Amelie. Good suggestion. You can find charts on the internet that will translate inches to centimeters/meters. Stay safe. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
Hi Kit. Yes I recommend pre-washing the fabric. Before cutting/washing/drying the fabric do a zigzag stitch on both raw edges to prevent the fabric from unraveling. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
Example: if you want it 3" wider add 1/2" seam allowance, divide 3.5" by 2 = 1.75" Then add 1.75" to the width of each piece of fabric. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
I have been wanting to make a runner for a long time. I can sew straight lines but am a pure novice at sewing home projects...I have trouble following and visualizing written instructions, so I am glad to have found you on TH-cam ! Question: when you cut the seam to get rid of the bulk, did you do it on the other end as well? I didn’t see or hear you say to repeat that step; the next thing I heard was the part about making the triangle on the other end and pressing it. Thank you so much! 😊
it’s kind of flimsy with just the fabric for a table runner. I think it does need some batting and a little quilting to make it more substantial. I like watching your videos and listening to your voice!
I made this, but it took me way longer than ten minutes! I also think it's more than four seams since you do the corners and the stitch in the ditch. I made a Christmas table runner, and it is very pretty. Thank you!
Can you cut this lengthwise the fabric instead of crosswise? I would like to make a table runner longer and would like to cut lengthwise. Will the grain of the fabric still fold nicely? Love the video, very nice.
I need videos teaching to crochet retain gulag table runners. Jada goes to fast and the others r not in English I need to learn to crochet a pretty table runner in English, slow!!!!
Hi Michelle. If you sew batting on just the center piece, it will not lay very flat with the other piece of fabric. That is why I used the heavy iron on interfacing. Stay safe. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
Do you sew the lines on the centerpiece before you attach it to the larger piece? I don;t quilt, so I have no idea when the lines are to be sewn. Thanks.
I made this today and it was so easy, I was wondering if you do the quilting after it’s put together and the stitch in the ditch is done or do you do the quilting before you sew the middle to the sides. I love your tutorials.
Thank you so much for showing in detail how to cut the fabric. I always have trouble how to arrange larger pieces to cut. Your attention to detail is much appreciated.
You are so welcome! Merry Christmas. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
Thank you for this tutorial! I love the colors you chose for your fabric. Coral is one of my favorite tropical colors.
Thank you! I had a loose pattern but couldn't figure out the "corners" and how to add a tassel. I appreciate you posting the full instructions.
Thank you for great instructions I’ll be making my first tomorrow.
Today I needed a refresher on how to make these. This is hands down the best tutorial I've seen! Thank you for being clear on instructions, taking your time to show each and every step down to minute details! Bravo! God's blessings!

Do you suggest washing the material before sewing? Also if you use interfacing/batting can it be washed afterwards?
Sherrill I love your big ruler. Can I ask where you got & its name?
How to keep your rotary cutter from going rusty.

Wow!!! Never thought of doing it this way.
You are amazing, really appreciate all the work you do to teach us.
Fabrics, especially cottons or cotton blends need to be prewashed and dried due to shrinkage, BEFORE sewing. Or your project can be ruined.
That is so true. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
This is brilliant to a new sewer you can't imagine how complicated I thought this would be, thank you so much for sharing
This video is how this I learned!
I am greatly impressed by the manner in which you have delivered this tutorial. Your presentation was exceedingly precise and easily comprehensible for anyone. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for this tutorial. Sending warm and affectionate wishes all the way from Sri Lanka.😍 May you remain in good health and safety. Please take care.

This is fun to make
I Agree
Thankyou for the video! I couldn't understand the instructions that came with the kit, so this was very helpful!!
I was in the same boat! This video has proved to be invaluable.
I like your detailed and calm teaching style. Thanks for sharing your talent with us!
9 inches is not 1/3 yard, 12 inches is 1/3 yard, so I think the measurements should be 18" and 12" not 18" and 9"
Cheryl....youre the best teacher!! Thank you!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Lindo proyecto, que bueno que fuera subtitulado el vídeo. Gracias 🙅
I love listening to you. Such a great way of explaining. Tnx
Thank you 😀

Hi Barbara. Glad the tutorial was helpful. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
I am new to sewing. Love the tutorial. My corners at the end are wonky. I did use heavy interface I trimmed as much excess fabric I could. Any tips?
Hi Melissa. Did you use something pointed (not too sharp) to push out the pointed ends? Did you press the seam open at each end? Since I can't see it, I'm not sure what happened. The points will be somewhat blunt. Thanks so much for watching. 😍
I made five table runners last night. Your instructions are so easy to follow.
Hi Denise. WOW I am impressed. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
This looks great and it seems easy to do. Thank you for all the video advice you give

Your measurements are confusing. 9" is not 1/3 yd. 18" is not 5/8 yd. Love this table runner for gifts and myself!
Hi Susie. Sorry I confused you. After many years of purchasing fabric I have learned to buy just a little more than needed. Often the person cutting the fabric at the store cuts it incorrectly. Stay safe. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
1/3 yard of interfacing isn’t long enough for the center. I’m I doing something wrong? I think you need 1yard and 8 inches of interfacing..so it’s the same length of the center
Hi Jennifer. I just placed the interfacing down the center strip. But you can add more. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
I'm very sorry if it's blatantly obvious but I am new to sewing. Could I make this runner twice the length and if so, how?
Hi Natasha. It is a very good question. Here is a link to my tutorial on how to make it longer:

Awesome tutorial!! I just sewed along and made one for a friend as a gift!! Thank you so much!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this easy pattern. I can't wait to make my first one. I will be making each of my 5 children at least one or maybe more. Thank you!
This is what I’m doing for Christmas this year. Been putting materials together first and about to start. Going to make matching placemats , potholders, dish towels and mits. Have at least 5 sets to make. So excited 😆
This is the best tutorial of several I have seen tonight. Thank you!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching! 😊❤️
Really enjoyed your video, thank you!
As a new sewer your videos are so helpful! Thank you so much!
You’re welcome ❤️
I usually prewash my fabric before sewing. Not Necessary?
If I am stitching white fabric and a very dark fabric together, I would prewash the fabric because the dark color will run onto the white fabric. If you are concerned about fabric shrinking, then prewash. I don't place food on my table runners so I don't have to worry about washing the fabric. If the table runner should get dirty, I just spot clean it. Some individuals spray Scotchguard on it. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
I must be an idiot I couldn’t done it even though I followed all instructions 🥺😭
Hi Lupe. You are not an idiot. Let me know where is the tutorial you get lost. Give me the minute and seconds. I will try to explain it to you. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
How do I make a 34” x 14” runner. Can’t figure out the numbers.
Hi Jim. Cut the center piece 10" x 40" and cut the border/back piece 19" x 40". Stay safe and happy Thanksgiving.
Hi Sheryl! I moved into a house with no hardware for affixing rolls of toilet paper, so they sit on the floor. There is a short towel bar within reach. Ideas? Thank you and Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!
Do you prewash fabric so when washing it does not shrink?
Hi Joann. Yes prewash the fabric before cutting the fabric. Also before washing do a zigzag stitch on the 2 raw edges of the uncut fabric. This will prevent the fabric from unraveling during the wash/dry cycle. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
Bom dia. Gostei muito da aula. Voce pode deixar as medidas logo abaixo do video? Tornaria mais facil pra entendermos. Obrigada.
I want to make the table runner, placemats ,pop holders, w/a tote bag to put them in, all alike matches.
Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.😍
Where’ll, do you have a tutorial of what the “width of the fabric” is?
Hi Laurrie. At the end of each bolt of fabric is the fabric description - width, fiber content, and cleaning instructions (washable or dry clean). The width of the fabric is from selvage edge to selvage edge. The selvage edge is finished off so that it does not unravel. The raw edge is the cut edge. Most cotton quilting fabrics range from 42" to 45" wide. Clothing fabric ranges from 50" to 60" wide. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching💗and happy sewing😍
Thank you I was able to understand because you show how to make it from Colo
Hi Donna. Glad the table runner tutorial was helpful. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
I am trying to make a table runner like you have but with flat edge not pointed can you help me?
Hi Debra. I have lots of table runner tutorials and should have more then one related to what you're looking for. Here is a playlist to all my table runner tutorials. 😀
th-cam.com/play/PLk1NiZvKG3bdPfoy_Eiakv-5xzbotjchb.html
Love the way you did your table runner.
Hi Lucille. Glad you enjoyed the 10 minute table runner tutorial. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
this was so easy!! amazing! I have made two and two more to do, thank you!
Awesome! Happy Sewing! 😀
Can I use Extra Loft Fleece for the middle lining or will that be too fat?
Hi Rebecca. It might. I know others have tried cotton batting, and they were not happy with the results. Stay safe, and happy sewing.
How much fabric would I need for a table runner for a shelf that is 11.5" X 24" ?
can you translate it into meters and cm, then I would be very happy :D
Hi Amelie. Good suggestion. You can find charts on the internet that will translate inches to centimeters/meters. Stay safe. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
I truly like this. However, for amateur sewers, showing how the seam is supposed to be sewn would help. Thank you.
Do you wash and iron your fabric before you start?
Hi Kit. Yes I recommend pre-washing the fabric. Before cutting/washing/drying the fabric do a zigzag stitch on both raw edges to prevent the fabric from unraveling. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
This is a great runner. Could you explain how to a make wider one ?
Example: if you want it 3" wider add 1/2" seam allowance, divide 3.5" by 2 = 1.75"
Then add 1.75" to the width of each piece of fabric. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
I have been wanting to make a runner for a long time. I can sew straight lines but am a pure novice at sewing home projects...I have trouble following and visualizing written instructions, so I am glad to have found you on TH-cam !

😊
it’s kind of flimsy with just the fabric for a table runner. I think it does need some batting and a little quilting to make it more substantial. I like watching your videos and listening to your voice!
I made this, but it took me way longer than ten minutes! I also think it's more than four seams since you do the corners and the stitch in the ditch. I made a Christmas table runner, and it is very pretty. Thank you!
Can you cut this lengthwise the fabric instead of crosswise? I would like to make a table runner longer and would like to cut lengthwise. Will the grain of the fabric still fold nicely? Love the video, very nice.
Hi Fay. Yes you can cut the fabric lengthwise, and there won't be any problems with the grain. Happy sewing.
I need videos teaching to crochet retain gulag table runners. Jada goes to fast and the others r not in English I need to learn to crochet a pretty table runner in English, slow!!!!
When you do the batting should you sew the batting to the center peace
Hi Michelle. If you sew batting on just the center piece, it will not lay very flat with the other piece of fabric. That is why I used the heavy iron on interfacing. Stay safe. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
Do you sew the lines on the centerpiece before you attach it to the larger piece? I don;t quilt, so I have no idea when the lines are to be sewn. Thanks.
Your work is neat.
Well explained...
Thankyou!
I like this project, but, I don't have a table. I might make it anyway.
I made mine without the angled ends. I have a long dining room table.
Thanks for watching, and happy sewing.
Great toturial... I like it very much. Congratulations 🌹
I made this today and it was so easy, I was wondering if you do the quilting after it’s put together and the stitch in the ditch is done or do you do the quilting before you sew the middle to the sides. I love your tutorials.
Hi Barbara. You can do the quilting stitches in any order that works best for you. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching💗 and happy sewing😍
@@TheSewingRoomChannel Thank you, I appreciate you getting back to me so fast. I made 3 altogether they turned out very nicely.
I cut out 18 inch batten or flannel to put on wrong side of fabric so its got a nice inner fill. have done that for years no saves time too.
I am so excited... I just made one with sunflowers. It turned out so nice! Thank you! How can I make a longer one? I’m a newby!
How wide is the fabric you are using??
Hi Ann. It is 42" wide quilting fabric from Joann Fabrics and Crafts. Thanks for watching💗and Merry Christmas😍
Finally made one! Love how easy they are!
Thanks. I’m a beginner and I made my first runner using this method. Turned out not horrible. LOL. Thanks
Is there a printable pattern along with the tutorial?
Hi Mary. At this time, I do not have a website to do downloads. Merry Christmas. Thanks for watching, and happy sewing. 😍
