Using: Elegant Leaf Table Runner

This project summary provides instructions for making an elegant leaf table runner using sheer organza fabric and a wing needle sewing technique. The table runner features a simple leaf pattern created through 3D appliqué. Key steps include cutting leaf templates and fabric pieces, test stitching with a wing needle to get comfortable with the technique, and assembling the runner by appliquéing silk leaves onto an organza background and adding a dupioni border. The wing needle technique uses decorative stitching to return through the same fabric hole multiple times, adding an elegant embellishment to the project.
