    Default zig zag tab;e runner - it doesn't look right please advise

    I am trying to make the Zig Zag table runner and something looks wrong. It looks bigger on one end then the other. Please help - take a look and let me know if I am doing it correctly. Thanks

    I think you just need to adjust the bottom end. I think you need to have 2 together on the each side on each end. So, in the picture, the 2 rows at the bottom just need to moved so that the bottom right corner becomes 2 squares together.

    When counting down rows from the top, the third row of five is attached one block too high on the adjoining row. There should only be one unattached square, and you have two. That throws the rest of the rows off and the runner veers off to the right. The next two rows are attached in the wrong place also. Looks like some frog sewing is in your future. Rippit-rippit-rippet!

    Maybe if you look at this you will be able to see the layout better.

    Sorry, but the entire thing looks off to me. Hard to see in the pic too.

    I agree with Jean, rows should only be attached one block up, not two... noticed it right away, I am making the same thing now and did the same thing. Only fix I can see is to start ripping.

    Looks like several rows are attached in the wrong spot. a little ripping and all will be good.

    Your first two rows at the top are ok but the third and all following rows need to be five squares until the last two which is back to a four and a two.

    This is the one I made for Christmas. The row of fours and five should each match at one end.
