Where can I find larger tablecovers that will fit the width of our table? It is 70 inches wide which seems to be standard and only goes over the edge an inch or two. Where can I buy an 80 or 90 inch wide table cover so it looks nice on all sides. Even if I were to make them there would be a seem on the top of the table. Any ideas?
You do not give length but you will probably have to call around to find the larger sizes.
You might try calling some of your higher end stores in your area - maybe the malls - as they usually have a good variety for all occasions.
Just figure the length and width of your table and add however many inches you want it to hang over (double that for sides and ends and add to table length/width. This should give you a good idea of correct size you are wanting.
Bed, Bath & Beyond usually has larger sizes as well as rental shops (weddings etc.) and they sell to the public. Restaurants supply stores also have the larger sizes and if you want to find a lace cloth you'll need the same size cloth for underneath the lace.
Some people use a bed spread and these can be found in all styles/fabrics and sizes.
If you ever decide to make your own, you can always make a table runner to cover the seam down the middle.
These can be found online but it will either be custom made or you will have to do a lot of searching as sizes do not always come up correctly when searching.
i did find one that might be about the size you're looking for.

There are a number on Amazon. This is just one, but not sure if it is the width you need:

Where I am, when they were open, the restaurant supply places always had a huge variety of odd sizes. They often had them in heavy linen and plastic materials.
Often they were on sale if you bought off season...like red after Valentines day and green after St. Paddy's day.
Hope this helps get you in the right direction! Post back with updates!

When eating out at fast food restaurants, we are usually given too many napkins that end up in the trash. Now we fold them up and take them with us.
I love to have tons of dinner napkins, but I do not like the high price on them. I go to Walmart and look through their remnant bin for cheap materials.
Instead of paper towels, we use washcloths for napkins. We use old kitchen towels that don't seem pretty enough to hang up any more.

Where can I buy flannel back plastic tablecloths at a reasonable price?

If you have any of these stores out there, try these: Big Lots, Dollar General, Family Dollar, Party City, Occasions.
This is just a suggestion. If you buy a clear plastic tablecloth protector you can use any fabric tablecloth, and wipe the surface clean. The protectors only cost about $7.00 and last a long time.
In the past, i have seen them at Walmart for as little as $2.50.
I think I've seen those kind of tablecloths at Wal-Mart. Sometimes they will have some marked down real cheap, especially after a holiday.
Good luck finding what you're looking for!
Dollar stores!
I live in the East Valley, and I've seen tons of those tablecloths at the 99 cent only stores in Mesa and Tempe. You may have to dig a bit, and the clerks may help you look if you catch them during a slow period. But then again, the clerks may not know what's in their stores either because there's so much merchandise in those places.
Good luck! :-)
If you have a Dollar General in your area, they have all their summer merchandise on clearance now and you should be able to find them pretty cheap there. Same goes for Family Dollar. Goodwill and other thrift stores are a good source also.
I've seen them in dollar stores. However, nicer ones can be purchased from CVS. I wait until they go on sale or I have a CVS coupon. Also, Boscov's department store has them for something like one dollar or perhaps three dollars. Check out www.boscovs.com to see if you can buy them online. You may not have a store in your area.
I just saw some of those kind of table cloths at Target marked down. it was in the linens area. These were white background with stripes....very simple design. I saw them in round or oblong shape. I do not recall the price tho.
I buy mine at King's variety store (western states) and I use them for PAINTING cloths. They work especially well on carpeted floors as the flannel backing sticks to the carpet and holds them in place while you paint. Much cheaper than painting cloths and much more sturdy than plastic covers.

WALMART! After a season such as harvest they will be selling out their tablecloths, rugs, etc. the day after Halloween and after at very cheap prices like $2 instead of 5. Often there are plain colors you can use anytime of year. If you make it a goal you can have tablecloths for year round at a fraction of the cost! Also, thrift stores.
