Fabric and Notion Suggestions
The pattern does not list specific fabric requirements or notions. For a coastal runner, consider cotton fabrics in ocean blues, sandy tans, and shell whites. You will need stabilizer for embroidery, thread for applique and quilting, and binding fabric. Because the project includes both applique and quilting designs, a medium-weight cotton works well for the background.
What to Keep in Mind
This is a digital download pattern, so you need access to a computer and embroidery machine. The required stitch field is 6.5 x 6.5 inches; smaller hoops may not work. If your machine does not support one of the listed formats, you will need conversion software. The pattern includes 10 quilting designs, which is generous for a table runner and allows creative stitching choices.
