Sometimes it is less expensive at walmart too, and I am pretty sure it is exactly the same quality. <BR/><BR/>I would still say though that the material you would have to buy to sew table runners would be about $3a yard, though what you could do instead is use tuelle (http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat323844&PRODID=prd15040&source=search - its that net like material) over the top of a different colored table cloth and it would add a lot of texture and be less expensive. Joanns online has some choices of tulle that are 50 yard bolts (which you might need that much for so many tables) for about $1.20a yard. You wouldn't even have to sew it either as it would probably tuck under all sides of the table and could be taped down or hidden under a table skirt (usually provided by the caterers or reception place). Even just left hanging it might look really nice too, but might be a little whimsy / fairy looking and less sophisticated.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16794592162573251230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4629217942696182058.post-57337091499920243952008-06-25T09:47:00.000-06:002008-06-25T09:47:00.000-06:00ROTFL.

Even if you buy some stuff at Joann's for $3 a yard, it's better quality than that crap they sell at wally world. It's thin, it rips easily and it's ugly.<BR/><BR/>Good, high-quality fabric is $10 a yard. But I do think that you can get some reasonable stuff at Joann's that will be good enough for table runners. They have a red tag section that's all good stuff for $3-5 a yard and they always have sales going on for the regular stuff. Avoid Wal-Mart like the plauge!<BR/><BR/>What a TERRIBLE dream.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028600889013935580noreply@blogger.com
