Choosing Fabric for Tablecloths

There is nothing more beautiful than a tablecloth adorning a table. However, if you are planning on sewing your own tablecloth there are a few things you will want to keep in mind. Overall, it is quite easy and a fast and fun project. Nevertheless, you will want to choose the right fabric.

Color

The color of the tablecloth is worth considering. The reason why is because most tablecloths will have food and drink spilled on them at every use. Because of this you will want to consider buying a fabric that hides stains. For example, choose a darker color over a lighter fabric. A white tablecloth might be beautiful but it will be stained every time. The benefit of white is that it can be cloroxed so this is a good option if you don't mind bleaching.

Another good idea is to buy a fabric with a design on it. It could be tone on tone design, which would give texture to the fabric. This is elegant, simple, and a great stain hider as well. You should definitely consider a tablecloth with tone on tone design.

Quality

Quality is also very important when it comes to purchasing fabric for a tablecloth. You want a high quality fabric that will last for years so it is important to find a high thread count fabric that is durable. Avoid fabrics like silk or satin for a tablecloth because they are not well suited. If you are interested in using fine fabrics then consider making a runner out of them. Overall, it simply makes more sense to use a durable cotton or polyester blend that will last for years while looking great.

Of course, if the tablecloth is for special occasions only then you do not need to concern yourself with quality as much as you do design, color, and price. These are just a few tips to help you find the right fabric to make a tablecloth. Be sure you have measured your table and know its exact dimensions so you can buy the right amount of cloth. Otherwise, you will have a problem because you will have to sew extra pieces onto the cloth and this will take away from its appearance.

Follow these tips and you should have no problems finding the perfect fabric for your next tablecloth. You will appreciate the fact that you can make tablecloths for each season and holiday with just a little time and effort.

Description

Get professional results at home with this garment steamer. Steam is the gentlest, safest, most efficient way to remove wrinkles. Not only is steaming five times faster than ironing, it will not scorch even the most delicate fabrics. Safe for use on clothing, wallpaper, drapes, furniture and most any fabric to remove wrinkles quickly and easily. Compact, lightweight unit moves easily on casters, utilizes a 120 volt current, and has an unbreakable low profile easy to handle one gallon water reservoir. Over 1.5 hours of steam per filling. Uses a 1300 watt heating element, die cast in solid brass. Quick two minute heat up time. High impact plastic handle is attached to 5-1/2 foot flexible hose. Safety wiring feature temporarily turns the unit off when it runs dry. Moderate assembly required, assembly wrench is included. .

This sturdy, durable wand steamer presses wrinkles out of garments, drapes, and upholstery quicker and easier than an iron, and it doesn't "shine" or scorch fabrics like an iron can. Wand steamers are popular in the fashion and entertainment fields, where wardrobe crews must keep clothing immaculate while working quickly. This 1,300-watt steamer shoots high-velocity steam jets out of a 6-inch-wide head to smooth any fabric from sheer silk to thick wool. A removable water tank provides up to 90 minutes of steaming time. The steamer heats in a minute and then rolls to work on sturdy casters. Garments and drapes can be pressed where they hang, including closets, or garments can be hung from a loop atop the steamer's sturdy aluminum rod, which screws together to rise 62 inches above the floor. For storage, the rod has a holder for the wand. Indicative of the steamer's quality is the brass fitting attaching the hose to the tank. (A wrench to tighten the fitting is included, and it has magnets for storage on the base.) Other features include an automatic safety shutoff if the steamer runs dry and a stay-cool wand handle. The steamer's plastic base measures 11 inches wide, 17 inches high, and 14-1/2 inches deep. The steamer carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
