"Hi, welcome to Expert Village, I'm Gretchen Soares and today we're going to make a fancy four patch table runner. In this segment we're going to go ahead and assemble these all together so we have the top of our table runner. We're going to start on one end and then go seam by seam all the way down to the other end. And these seams we just pinned so they go together nice and evenly. We once again are going to use a quarter inch seam allowance based on our pressure foot. And on this we want to make sure we backstitch at both ends so that this stays together because those are going to be our edges. Always take your pins out as you come to them and don't sew over them. It's really bad for your machine. We're going to trim up these strings. Okay, after we've sewn these all together we want to give a final press on the top of this to just get it nice and flat for working on our next steps. Give special attention to the place where four squares come together because that's going to be the thickest seams. Make sure those lay nice and smooth. Okay, we going to take this over to the counter and finish working with it."
