"This is Vicki Walker for Expert Village. I'm ready now, now that the 2 pieces are put together the front and the back. We have the fringe pinned in to the end sections. We are ready to sew the seam on the outside edge of the runner. I would be saving about a 4 inch section of the runner to be sure that we have plenty of room to turn the runner as soon as we are finished sewing the outside seam. I'm also going to be very careful, I'm at the end near the fringe and I would be very careful not to get the fringe caught up in my seam. But turn right where it needs to be turned and that should just about do it. Then continue on about a half inch seam allowance. If your fringe was a different style you could sew the fringe to the top of the runner after it was completed. But with the type of fringe that I'm using need to be sewn into the seam. I'm just about to the point so I would be very careful on this end that the point actually to be a point with the fringe. So it would hang probably. So I would continue around the edge until I get to 4 inches shy of completing this seam to allow that much room to turn the runner and we would be turning the runner in the next clip. "
