Albany Tip toe through the tulips table runner



Welcome to our Tulip Table Runner Sewing Class! This class guides you on creating a beautiful table runner using tulip blocks. This project adds an exciting touch of summer charm to your dining table or any surface you desire.

During the class, you will design and construct the tulip blocks. We will use 5-inch squares and 2.5-inch strips of fabric to create the tulip flowers, stems, and leaves. Students can choose various colors for the tulip flowers, allowing them to customize their table runners to match their personal style and home decor.

The class will cover essential sewing techniques, such as accurately cutting fabric, piecing the tulip blocks together, and pressing seams for a polished finish. Our experienced educator will provide step-by-step instructions, tips, and tricks to help you achieve professional results.
Once all the tulip blocks are assembled, you will learn to arrange them in a visually appealing pattern to create the table runner's design. We will explore different layout options to help you achieve the desired look.
The class will also cover additional elements, such as adding borders to the table runner for extra dimension and quilting techniques to enhance its overall appearance. Students will explore various quilting designs and choose the one that best suits their style.

Finally, you will learn how to complete the table runner by attaching the binding to the edges, giving it a neat and polished look. Then, our educator will guide you through the process of creating the binding, mitering corners and stitching it to the back for a professional finish.

By class end, you will have a beautiful table runner that you can proudly display and use for summer gatherings, family meals, or any occasion that calls for a touch of handmade elegance. So join us and unleash your creativity while acquiring valuable sewing skills!
