Design Considerations
Typical border print fabrics have four to eight repeats of 5 -11" wide sets of stripes and elements running the length of fabric.
Designs may use all four stripes, portions of 2-3 stripes, or one long strip. Narrower strips will require less fabric and make a smaller runner. Longer runner variations require more fabric.
