00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,950
(bright music)

00:00:02,950 --> 00:00:04,480
- Hi, I'm Michele Muska.

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,389
I'm a quilter and a fiber artist.

4
00:00:06,389 --> 00:00:08,650
I've been making since
I was four years old.

5
00:00:08,650 --> 00:00:11,300
And I really enjoy
making items for my home.

6
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:14,089
Today we'll be making a
double-sided table runner

7
00:00:14,089 --> 00:00:16,429
and I'll be using the Dresden wedge.

8
00:00:16,429 --> 00:00:19,059
The reason I love this is
because it's so versatile.

9
00:00:19,059 --> 00:00:22,460
You can use it in a
strip, a circle, or a fan.

10
00:00:22,460 --> 00:00:24,850
I've used some really interesting fabrics

11
00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:28,550
from around the world,
hand-dyed and hand-woven.

12
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:31,120
I'll be showing you how
to make a curved bias,

13
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,100
which looks complicated
but it's really easy to do

14
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:36,890
and looks great on so
many different projects.

15
00:00:36,890 --> 00:00:38,850
We will also be talking
about the importance

16
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:42,049
of using an insulated,
heat-resistant filler

17
00:00:42,049 --> 00:00:44,340
for the inside of your table runner.

18
00:00:44,340 --> 00:00:48,079
We will be doing some basic
machine quilting and sewing,

19
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:50,170
and then to add some textural interest,

20
00:00:50,170 --> 00:00:53,189
we'll be doing some big
stitching on the wedges.

21
00:00:53,189 --> 00:00:55,539
The techniques that you
learn throughout this project

22
00:00:55,539 --> 00:00:57,159
will be really great to incorporate

23
00:00:57,159 --> 00:00:58,609
in all of your future sewing.
