Navy Blue Fabric:

Cut one 4-7/8″ crosswise strip (triangles).Cut one  5-1/4″ crosswise strip (triangles).Cut four  2-1/2″ crosswise strips (binding).

First Step, Building the Half-Square Triangle Units

Create 12 Half-Square Triangle Units using the No-Hassle Triangles Gauge.

 

Set theNo-Hassle Triangles Gauge to 4-1/2″ block size on the left side of the gauge.  The left side notes Half-Square Triangle sizes. The gauge tells you what size blocks to cut, 4-7/8″.

Cut 4-7/8″ crosswise strips of green and blue. Layer a 4-7/8″ green strip on a 4-7/8″  blue strip and cut six square pairs, measuring 4-7/8″ x 4-7/8″.

Position the No-Hassle Triangles Gauge on a pair of squares.Use the fine point marking tool to draw a diagonal line.

Use a 1/4″ presser foot as a guide to stitch 1/4″ from the right and the left sides of the marked line.

Chain piece these half-square triangle shapes. Stitch one set of squares right after another. After creating a long “chain,” simply clip the threads to separate the units.

 

Take the stitched units to the rotary cutting mat and cut the two halves apart along the marked line.Open and press the seam allowances to the darker blue side.Second, Create Six Quarter-Square Triangle Units

Set the No-Hassle Triangles Gauge to 4-1/2″ block size on the right side of the gauge.  The right side notes Quarter-Square Triangle sizes. The gauge tells you what size blocks to cut, 5-1/4″.Cut 5-1/4″ crosswise strips of green and blue. Layer a 5-1/4″ green strip on a 5-1/4″ blue strip and cut square pairs, measuring 5-1/4″ x 5-1/4″.Place a blue and green square under the gauge and mark the diagonal line.Stitch 1/4″ from the marked line, following the guidelines for the Half-Square Triangle Units, in the first step, above. Cut the units apart and press. These blocks should measure 4-7/8″ x 4-7/8″.Lay one Half-Square Triangle block on another, matching right sides. It is important that the diagonal lines lock. You’ll feel this “lock” as the seams meet.

Set the No-Hassle Triangles Gauge  to 4-1/2″ on the left side of the gauge.Mark a diagonal line, perpendicular to the seamline.
Use a 1/4″  presser foot as a guide to stitch 1/4″ from the right and left sides of the marked line.

Chain piece the three units, stitching one right after another.Use rotary cutting tools to cut the units apart.Press the Quarter-Square Triangle Units.Third, Arrange Table Runner RowsArrange the table runner into rows as detailed below.Stitch the pieces using 1/4″ seam allowances.

Assemble the runner by joining the rows to each other, using 1/4″ seam allowances.Press the row seam allowances in one direction.

After all five rows are stitched, the No-Hassle Triangles Table Runner top is complete.

Create Backing

Cut the backing piece measuring 10″ x 42″ into two pieces measuring 10″ x 21″ each. Use those two pieces and the larger piece, 21″ x 42″ to assemble the table runner back as described below, using  1/4″ seam allowances.

Quilt and Finish the No-Hassle Triangles Summer Table Runner

Layer the quilt backing, seam-side-up, Sew-In Fleece Batting , and the table runner quilt top – to create a quilt sandwich. Pin.Machine quilt the table runner layers together with straight line machine quilt the table runner with The Ultimate Quilt ‘n Stitch Presser Foot.

The Ultimate Quilt ‘n Stitch Presser Foot designed by Nancy Zieman Productions, LLC for Clover! An all-new presser foot with a built in stitch alignment ruler for guiding rows of parallel stitching. The Ultimate Quilt ‘n Stitch Presser Foot is ideal for parallel-line straight stitching, topstitching, and straight-line machine quilting! Premiering today at the NZP Blog!

Or, use free-motion quilting to machine quilt the table runner layers together.Trim away excess batting and backing fabric.Join the 2-1/2″ crosswise strips of  blue binding fabric, end-to-end, using 1/4″ seam allowances.Press the binding strip in half, lengthwise.Bind the table runner, using your favorite technique. Or, use Nancy Zieman’s Easy quilt binding instructions.

The summer road trip season is here! Today we’re sharing four roadtrip friendly Needle Arts Projects with Clover’s Needle Arts Tools! Plus Shop Our Summer Savings SALE now through June 30th at ShopNZP.com and at The Nancy Zieman Sewing Studio and Quilt Shop!

 

In today’s blog posting, we’re spotlighting a few of our favorite Clover Fiber Arts Tools and what you’ll need to get started on your next travel-friendly project.

Punch Needlework is created with a series of hand-stitched straight stitches, created with a Punch Needle Tool and medium-weight to bulky-weight yarns. Projects can be made in a variety of sizes and include coasters, wall hangings, purses, pillows and rugs.

Insert medium weight to bulky weight yarn into Clover’s Punch Needle Tool .

Stitch as if you were drawing a picture! Working from the reverse side of Natural Monk’s Cloth , use Clover’s Punch Needle Tool to create a series of straight stitches with medium-weight to bulky yarn. Yarn loops form on the right side of the Natural Monk’s Cloth .

Natural Monk’s Cloth is the go-to fabric for Punch Needle , rug hooking, and Swedish weaving. Natural Monk’s Cloth is sold by the Yard. This 100% cotton, soft basket-weave/open-weave 14-count fabric is available in a 59/60″ wide. A white line is woven into the natural fabric every two inches–to aid in positioning patterns, or to frame squarely in a hoop or frame. 24 x 26 threads per inch.

Clover’s Needle Felting Tool has five barbed needles that catch wool roving fibers and pushes them into the base fabric/project.

Needle Felting Mat by Clover

The brush-like Needle Felting Mat enables smooth punching with little resistance, and allows the fibers of the applique to mesh well with the base fabric.

Natural Wool Roving by Clover

Natural Wool Roving is available in a dozen colors for Needle Felting, Pom-Pom Makers and other yarn projects.

Wool Felt is available in three color palettes; Brights, Autumn, and Heathers. 

Place base fabric/project on the Needle Felting Mat . Cut Wool Felt applique shapes and place on the right side the project, and pierce lightly with the Needle Felting Tool . The fibers will become interlaced, attaching the motif to the fabric. Repeated piercing produces also produces a fluffy image of the applique on the reverse side of the fabric.

Clover’s Pen-Style Needle Felting Tool and Needle Felting Applique Molds by Clover

Use Clover’s Pen-Style Needle Felting Tool and Needle Felting Applique Molds to create three-dimensional designs to be appliquéd or used on their own for embellishing.

Or, place project over Needle Felting Mat, place a Needle Felting Applique Mold directly over your project, and add Natural Wool Roving to create flat designs–directly on your project.
