An elegant table runner for Easter or any time of year. The designs are offered as single designs or grouped together to accommodate various hoop sizes.
The table runner used in this sample was purchased through Amazon. It is the Grelucgo Solid Natural Color Lined Fringe Table Runner. It is 14” wide and comes any many lengths to fit your table.
Step 2:
Tautly hoop one layer of fibrous water-soluble stabilizer in your hoop. With the Frixion® pen mark across the center line of the hoop. The hoop used to sew the sample is an 8” x 14” hoop.

Step 3:
Use sample sew outs or print the designs and cut out the eggs to determine how far you want the centers of the designs above the fringe of the table runner. I decided 3” above the fringe was the placement desired for these eggs. Fold your table in half lengthwise and slightly press and crease for the center of the designs. Mark a line with the Frixion® at 3” above the fringe.

Step 4:
If working with 4” hoops mark the center of the table runner and make vertical marks 3 7/8th “ each side of the center mark.

Step 5:
For the larger hoops spray the back of the table runner embroidery area with adhesive. Lay the table runner over the hoop aligning the horizonal mark drawn on the table runner with the horizontal mark drawn on the stabilizer. Align the center crease at the same time with the center marks on the hoop. Use long quilter’s straight pins around the perimeter of the table runner to assist the table runner in laying tautly against the stabilizer.

For the 4” hoop you will be able to hoop the table runner with the stabilizer so you will not need to use the spray adhesive, just line up the marks on the table runner with the drawn horizontal line with the marks on the sides of the hoop.
