Sew around edges of applique designs using a blanket, zig-zag, or straight stitch. Step 2: Sashings – With right sides together, sew 1½” x 10½” strips between prepared applique blocks. Press seams to sides. Step 3: Border A – With right sides together, sew 3” x 10½” strips to left and right of applique blocks. Press seams to sides. Step 4: With right sides together, sew 3” x 3” square to the ends of each 3” x 43½” strip. Press seams towards the middle. Step 5: With right sides together, sew Step 4’s strips to top and bottom of applique blocks, matching seams. Press seams down. Step 6: 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 fleece/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 fleece/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. Quilt as desired. Add binding using your favorite method.
