And finally I have my Hillbilly Space Journey mystery tablerunner completed and what a feeling this time of the year.
I deferred somewhat (not totally) from the finishing tips
shared by Tonya on her blog over HERE. I too kept the folded edges of my EPP
project folded under and cut the batting right up to this folded edge of the
top.
The backing however I left almost half an inch larger than
the batting/top layer. I then quilted
the top keeping clear of about half inch from the edge.
This allowed me to fold the backing over the batting tucking
it in under the top. So I could simply
use quick slip stitches to hold the edges together instead of tedious tiny
ladder stitches to try and hide the batting from popping out. This worked
really well.
In the end I simply stitched a straight stitch a quarter
inch from the outer edge.
