TIPS FOR AN EXTRA SPOOKY TABLE RUNNER

To create a table runner that’s extra “spooky,” use a striped fabric for the binding, and then cut it on the cross-grain or bias. The featured black and white striped fabric really adds a spooky touch to the finished table runner.

Try quilting with Sulky Poly Sparkle Thread. This 30 wt. Thread is polyester but has flecks of metallic running through it. Pair it with a 90/14 Organ® Needle for best results. Grab a Haunting Halloween 6-pack Sampler or Ultimate Halloween 12-pack of Poly Sparkle Thread to have all the great Halloween-themed colors ready for stitching.

Have fun making a Halloween table runner and welcoming the ghouls and goblins this fall!
