CONSTRUCTION: 1. Set up your machine for embroidery. 2. There are two ways to stitch the large center design.

• Hoop batting – place one of the 18” x 16” (45.7 x 40.6 cm) pieces centered on top and baste fabric down. Stitch one of the large embroidery de-signs. Once this is stitched out you will need to re-hoop the batting, mirror image the design, and use Design Positioning to place the design exactly where you want it stitched. You will use this process for the smaller designs as well.

• Hoop batting – place one of the 18” x 16” (45.7 x 40.6 cm) pieces centered on top. Save the designs to a USB. Open PREMIER+™ 2 and combine the designs in the software. Export the design as a VP3. Select baste around design, and embroider the center design. (This design was customized for a larger hoop, then taken

to the Split Project Wizard in the PREMIER™ + 2 Software. The design was then split in half to be stitched in the DESIGNER™ Majestic Hoop 360 x 350)

3. Next, hoop batting – place one of the 18” x 16” (45.7 x 40.6 cm) pieces centered on top. Select baste around design, and embroider the two blocks of the quilting design. Duplicate the design and overlap the design. (You can use the software to double the quilting and the sashing designs to accentuate the stitches).

13. At the sewing machine, snap on your Edge Joining Foot. Stitch in the ditch around the sashing and along the piped border to attach the top the backing.

14. Trim off the backing fabric along the edge of the top. Use a zig zag stitch along the raw edges to keep them together.

15. Fold the binding in half and press.16. Snap on your 1/4" Piecing Foot. Sew

the binding along the edge of the table runner. 17. Snap on the Edge Joining Foot. Place the guide in the ditch

of the seam and sew. You can also opt to slipstitch the binding by hand.

4. Trim all the embroidered pieces to measure 16” L x 14” W (40.6 x 35.6 cm).

5. Embroider all four sashings. For the sashings we duplicated one design and mirror imaged the design both ways. Trim to measure 4”L x 14”W (10.2 x 35.6 cm).

6. Embroider the borders. Trim to 4" (10.2 cm) wide.7. Prepare the bias with the contrasting fabric. Cover the pip-

ing cord (make sure you leave 2mm between the cord and the stitch.)

8. Sew the piping to each long side of the sashings (except the end, which gets piped on one side only).

9. Next, sew the sashings to the embroidered centers.

10. Sew the piping to the endless borders and sew the borders to either side of the embroidered center. Using spray adhesive, add batting to the sashings and borders.

11. Press.12. Lay the backing piece wrong side up on your cutting mat.

Center the embellished top to the backing. Pin in place.
