I totally agree. Use them to enjoy them!

I made fall fabric into a tablecloth and covered it with clear vynil (sp) . I just finished embroidering a spring table cloth with green borders for my smaller kitchen table . I plan a fall embroidered one as well. I cover all of my fabric tablecloths with vynil but not my table runners or placemats...go figure...Scotchguard IS a good idea. Woul d love to see pics of others..

I use Scotchguard on my rugs, furniture, coats, curtains. Why haven't I thought of using them on table cloths and table runners...Great Idea!!! Thank-you

I have a clear plastic cover over mine on our dining room table. You can purchase plastic by the yard at Walmarts that sell fabric. Wipes clean, never needs washing(the quilt tablecloth, that is)

My daughter and I made one for my sister when she moved in her new house. As far as I cant tell it is ok. She uses it all the time. We used warm and natural batting and it lays really nice. I say good idea.

I have a quilted tablecloth. It's a two sided one; one side is for Thanksgiving and the other is for Christmas. The batting is made to with stand heat so that I dont have to worry about my table too much. it's thicker but it stays put and still drapes over the side of my table nicely. I get alot of compliments on it. I want to make reversible ones for all of the holidays since most of them have another one close to it so you can turn it over and it does double duty.
