Fall in Love Table Runner

This is a technique class where you will learn how to use decorative threads in your serger to embellish your Quilt Block table runner. We will use a variety of stitches: 2 thread chainstitch, 3 thread coverstitch, 4 thread overlock, 2 thread flatlock, rolled edge, and cover stitch, with decorative threads. No worries if you don’t have a cover stitch machine, you will be able to complete your project using your over lock stitches. Come in and learn what a thread cradle is and what it’s used for. Get that serger out and learn what you can do with it. 

The pattern for this project is a free PDF download found here:
