"Beautiful tabletops, like the ones you see in magazines, can be easily achieved with a few yards of fabric, a little bit of measuring, and a couple hours of sewing. If you've always wanted to achieve this look, but didn't know how, then Oh Sew Easy Table Toppers is a great place to start.

This book covers all the bases. In the fabric section, the authors not only show you how to select fabric, but how to measure your table for a perfect fitting tablecloth, and how to camoflauge seams when your material isn't quite wide enough. In the construction section, they describe how to make placemats, runners, tablecloths, and napkins (and a few rings, too) of all sorts. Additionally, they discuss important techniques to make your creations look professional, such as making perfect miters and beautiful bound edges.

There are no patterns included in this book, so it's important to arm yourself with a good rotary cutter and mat. However, don't let this detour you from creating your own table masterpieces - the instructions in this book are detailed enough that even a beginner will be able to create their own designs without any problems."

"Another classy book with broad appeal. New in the Oh Sew Easy home decor series is Table Toppers by Jean and Valori Wells. this book will most definitely help you attract those new sewers and younger quilters. The projects are easy to construct and simply explained. The fabric choices for these simple placemats, runners and table coverings make them clean and sophisticated looking. Then the photography and book design are impeccably produced. Jean and Valori have achieved a look that should attract attention. Make a few samples and set up a display in your home decor area using the book's photographs for inspiration."

Review   Sewing World - April 1, 2008
"Change the mood of a dining room in an easy and affordable way by creating a range of mix-and-match table toppers to suit all events and occasions. There are 27 projects included for a variety of placemats, tablecloths, table runners and napkins in a wide range of shapes and sizes. The projects are ideal for sewers of all levels including complete beginners, and there are detailed instructions for rotary cutting, piecing, binding and finishing, plus mitred corners and appliqued motifs. Each project is presented as a 'recipe' so it's quite easy to scale up for bigger tables or to multiply setting for large family gatherings. Clearly illustrated throughout, these table toppers are a cinch to make and a great introduction to patchwork and quilting techniques. Just layer them up to change the look! A super title."
