Prep your applique fabric:

Iron Appli-stick fusible webbing onto the wrong side of the 18 5” x 5” fabric squares.

 

Load your INNOVA Longarm:

Load your fabric and batting onto your INNOVA Longarm.

Open your ABM Petal Runner project file in AutoPilot Mach 3.

We started in the center of our fabric and worked outward.

In the center pin a 5” square in place making sure the sewhead wont hit the pins.  

Run the petal pattern with no thread to paper punch your fabric.


Petal Table Runner Cutting Applique

Cut your fabric just outside the paper punch holes.


Petal Table Runner Iron Applique

Remove the paper backing and place the fabric using the needle holes to line up.

If you can’t see the holes, run the pattern with thread for a placement line.

Stick the fabric down and iron to secure in place.

 

After you secure your fabric, queue and run the crosshatch pattern at 10 stitches per inch.

Next, run the ABM 109 Blanket Path Apply pattern.

Follow the steps above to complete all the petal pairs, starting with the left side, then the right side.


AUTOPILOT MACH 3 ECHO TOOL

After all applique petals are complete, use the echo tool to echo the pattern .25 for each set.

AUTOPILOT MACH 3 MASK TOOL ICON

Use the echo petal pattern to mask a background pattern of your choice using the Mask tool.

In the Mask Tool settings choose mask inside. Mask each repeat individually for best results.

 

We have included a rectangle pattern that you can use as an outside mask if desired. In the Mask tool settings choose mask outside.

 

Remove the table runner from the frame and trim to 52" x 12.5" .

Bind the table runner with your preferred binding method using the coordinating dark yardage or binding of your choice.
