To make this lace table runner, we used a 29" x 5 1/2" piece
of linen and the designs from the Square
FSL Set.
Embroider18 FSL squares. Use 2 layers of Vilene-type water-soluble
stabilizer. Rinse the stabilizer and leave to air dry. Press all parts
with steam.
Using the same thread with which you embroidered the FSL squres, connect
the squares.
Use a zigzag stitch for connection; stitch the squares only at the points
where they touch. First connect the squares to make four strips: two of
3 squares and two of 6 squares. Then stitch a 6-square strip to a 3-square
strip to make an L-shape. Repeat with the other two strips. Connect the
L-shapes to make a rectangle.
Measure the inner opening of the rectangle. It should be about 28 1/2"
x 5". Take a piece of fabric measuring 1/2" more than the opening. We used
a 29" x 5 1/2" piece of linen. Finish the raw edges of the fabric with
zigzag. Place the embroidered lace over the fabric, aligning the edges.
Pin the lace to the edges of the fabric and zigzag in place. Use the same
thread as you used for embroidery.
The table runner is ready. Enjoy!
The designs from the same set can be used to make doilies, coasters,
napkin rings, etc.
