Long Dresden Plate Table Runner Pattern & Papers

Make this beautiful table runner to adorn your dining table - maybe in Christmas prints to add to your festive decor, or what about happy brights to cheer up your room?

This runner is made using the hand sewing technique of English paper-piecing and features elongated Dresden Plate shapes. Once the 'plates' are complete they are then hand appliquéd onto the background fabric before being quilted. 

These full colour easy-to-follow instructions will take you through every step, and include a complete set of pre-cut papers (60pcs).

You will need;
• Either 10 co-ordinating prints such as Christmas, or for a more varied or rainbow effect, 20 prints
• 35cm x 110cm of background fabric
• 25cm of binding fabric

• Temporary fabric glue pen - which you can add above
• Thread for piecing - I recommend a 50wt cotton, which you can find here
• Gentle fabric starch - available here
• Thread for quilting - if machine quilting, I recommend at 50wt or 40wt cotton, if you are hand quilting, you could use a heavier 28wt or an embroidery thread
• 15" x 43" of wadding - which you can add above
• 15" x 43" of backing.
