Piecing Together Fabric for a Quilted Table Runner

Video Transcript

"Hi, welcome to Expert Village, I'm Gretchen Soares and today we're going to make a fancy four patch table runner. Okay, in this clip we're going to assemble the units that we need to make the table runner. We're going to pin them all together so that when we get to the sewing machine they're in the right order to sew. So we're going to use two units of this, two units of this, and three units of this one. I'm going to start with this one. We're going to take a four patch, a square, pin them together, right sides together, and since these are such short seams I just usually use two pins. And that's together, and I'm going to take another four patch, and a triangle finishes this one off. We need two of this unit, so we're going to take a floral square, a four patch and a triangle. On the triangles, I like to make sure it's the right order and then it flip back because it's easy to get those triangles turned the wrong direction and have to pick it out and redo it. And then we're up to this unit. Triangle, four patch, on the triangles make sure you line the top up, the bottoms going to look a little off but when we sew through those tips it's going to be just perfect. Solid square, four patch, and a triangle and one last unit like this one here. Okay, our units are all pinned together and ready to take to the sewing machine to sew together."
