5. Of the transfer web paper, cut one square that measures 10" x 10".

10. Once you are happy with the placement and it is smooth and even, press the center
of the square with the iron. Carefully tuck the edges of the square under and press
around each edge. (Do not worry about the corners of the square as they are
unfinished--they will be covered with buttons!)

11. Place a damp, thin cloth over the square, and press with the iron for 5-10 seconds
or until the damp cloth dries. This will seal the transfer web to both layers of fabric.
Sewing the Table Runner:
This is the fun part, where you see it really begin to take shape!
12. Carefully pin the long edges of the two triangles to each end of the foundation
piece of the runner, right sides together. Since they were cut out at 16 1/2", there will
be about 1/4" of the triangles that will extend past each edge of the foundation piece.
This is correct, and will ensure that the triangles will be sewn with the proper
dimensions. Sew each end using 1/4" seam allowances.
13. Press seams toward the darker fabric, and carefully trim the fabric that extends past
the edges.

14. Now cut a section of muslin for the back of the runner. Place the completed top
panel, right side down, onto the section of muslin, and use it as a template. Pin at the
edges every 3-4 inches around to prevent any slippage, and cut the muslin to match the
size and shape of the top panel.
15. You are now ready to sew the top panel and muslin backing together. While they
are still pinned from cutting out, sew 1/4" around the edges, leaving a 5" opening along
one of the long edges for turning. Be sure to back stitch to prevent the seams from
unraveling.
16. Before turning, snip the fabric at the tips of the triangle ends to remove bulk. After
turning, use a pair of scissors to carefully push the fabric out at the corners to make a
clean point. Press entire runner and hand stitch opening closed.

18. After topstitching the square, topstitch near the seams in which you attached the
triangle pieces. Stitch either 1/8" or 1/4" from the seam.
