Types of Fabric & Trim for Making Tablecloths

Video Transcript

"This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. Today we are making a table runner. The types of fabric that we might want to consider in making a table runner would be for a decorative purpose like a dining room or something like that formal dining room. A nice floral or fall pattern we would be using today and we are using an animal print and a couple of solids that we would be using. The green that I have here would be the lining, the bottom of the runner. Other choses would be this decorative gingham, I have another floral pattern very colorful pattern. Corduroy would even for a small section of the runner a nice small portion of the runner. I also have several types of gimp. The purpose of our fabric today I'm using a black gimp and I would use a black fringe around around the ends of the runner. Other fringes that you might want to consider are a bolder heavier fringe like this one. A more colorful one like this one and there is a smaller trim that you might also like to decorate with to accent a certain area of the runner. We would need our pins to pin the sections together, scissors, matching thread, a tape measure and/or seam gage and the sewing machine. These are the things that you need to be able to put together for a runner that we are making today. "
