Tips & Warnings
Make sure to purchase a machine washable fabric. This will allow you the opportunity to wash and reuse any fabrics that may have been soiled. If you would desire a more fitted look, look into sewing elastic bands into the top hem of the table skirt. Make sure that the elastic is tight and is sewn together at the ends.
Follow user instructions when using a sewing machine. If proper use is not followed, injury could result.
