Yes I use them when I use my dining table. I’ve got an embroidered one that my mother in law did and another embroidered one I won in a Christmas raffle when I was 15 years old. The rest of my tablecloths I made to fit my table.

Personally I use a vinyl table cover on my dining table as it's just my husband and I at home. Easy to wipe clean. If we have visitors and at Christmas I use a red Irish linen table cover. I've inherited some beautiful hand embroidered ones from my mum but I don't use them. One reason is that I don't want them ruined by food spills but on the other hand, I'm sad that they are put safely away in a box. I have 2 daughters and 3 grandaughters who don't use table covers. I have a dilemma now of what to do with them
