SEWING/APPLIQUE INSTRUCTIONS: All seams are sewn 1/4” unless otherwise noted.

Step 1: Prepare the applique patterns using iron-on adhesive; follow package directions.

Step 2: Iron adhesive pieces to wrong side of fabrics following package directions.

Step 3: Cut out applique pieces. Peel off paper liner from the backs of applique pieces. Place applique, adhesive side down, on right side of 12 ½” x 12 ½” squares. Press according to package directions until entire piece is bonded. Let cool.

Step 4: Sew around edges using a straight, zig-zag, or blanket stitch.

Applique Tip: When putting together your applique pieces, lay them out first before ironing to your fabric. Make sure they slightly overlap if indicated in the keys. A heatproof sheet is a great tool for assembling the pieces. Lay them out on the sheet and lightly press them in place (don’t do it for too long.) Let cool. Carefully peel off the applique from the sheet and lay it on the right side of your fabric.

Press in place.

Step 7: Finish table runner using your favorite method of quilting and binding.

*Optional Table runner assembly - Protect the area where you will be working by placing an old sheet of paper under and around the area you’ll be spraying. Place the batting on your working surface. Using the basting spray, spray a few inches across the top portion of the batting from one edge to the other. Place the wrong side of runner backing face down over the sprayed surface of batting. Smooth fabric to ensure it adheres to the sprayed fabric. Continue this method of spraying and smoothing just a few inches at a time until you reach the bottom of the runner back. Check for creases or folds. Turn over to have batting facing up. Lay runner front, wrong side down, on batting using the same spray and smooth method as the backing. Trim edges and square-up quilt.
