I can usually 'eyeball' pretty close to how they'll fit my table. Also I use them for wedding and baby showers so it's nice to have a variety of sizes and shapes on hand. You can also use them as a valance for a window or layers them on the table to make a nice table covering in a shabby chic style.

I ihave a few old linens laying around, I used one for a valance in the bathroom, we have privacy film over the windows. I am starting to think I need to change it, but I love using old linens in this fashion.

Great deals, and I'm glad the stains came out for you

Congratulations on getting the stain out. The thrift store probably marked it low since it had a stain on it.

I just read about soaking stains in Biz this weekend. Glad to hear it worked for you.

You mix Biz and Oxiclean to remove stains? I wonder if this would work on my daughter's clothes. Can you tell me how to do it? You leave them in the washing machine without closing the lid? I don't know a lot of domestic stuff. LOL
