Review on ๐Ÿ”ฎ Fitted Vinyl Tablecloth/Tablecover: Table Cover Atlantis Inlaid - Transform 36-48" Tables Magically! by Tom Goodlow

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Absolutely fantastic!

So I ordered this tablecloth for my dining table because it's over 40 years old and in dire need of a refresh! This is a solid wood that will be with us forever, but these days it's scratched and doesn't look as good. So I went in search of a suitable suitcase to hold us for a while and WOW! I have found the perfect case! If this thing comes out of the box now, it's crashed! The instructions say to tumble dry briefly and set in a warm place. Maybe it would be much faster, but I don't have a dryer in my apartment! So I put the cover on and it fits perfectly because my table is very thick. I had to stretch and pull but I made it myself and I couldn't be happier with the fit! Once it was on, I grabbed an iron with a cotton attachment and a thin kitchen towel from the kitchen, laid the towel on a flat surface and ironed it for a few seconds, then removed the towel and smoothed the hot vinyl with my hand to smooth any remaining creases in to smooth these areas. It took a while but it's worth it! NICE! And a few days after I put the cover on and smoothed everything out, I foolishly ran a sewing machine over it and it hooked and stretched the vinyl into a sort of bubble. It was very noticeable! Although it didn't break! I took the iron and kitchen towel again and ironed them for 5-7 seconds and .PONE! Vinyl simply shrinks back to its original shape! Even the spot where my cat accidentally grabbed it disappeared when I pet it. Best buy ever. And so beautiful! I think I'll get another template in case I want to switch back and forth!
