The size of your table runner will depend on the size of your table.

For this particular table runner design, I will be using the macrame design as the overhang.

Now that you’ve determined what table runner size you’d like to craft, you can mark the measurement with a pen, pencil, or one of those crafty fabric pens that have disappearing ink.

Once your fabric is cut to your preferred measurements, heat up your iron on the correct setting and start with one side of your fabric rectangle.
