- Advice on table covers - 1 Update
"Paul Kinney" <bel...@comcast.net>: Oct 11 09:32PM -0400
My bell choir is performing with one person per table and have since October a year ago. That means six tables. A problem – we have only four covers. These covers are a good quality corduroy. If we were all adjacent on one long row of tables four would be plenty.
Last year we found two pieces of cloth in some forgotten corner and used them to cover the other two tables, though not well. Since it looks like we’ll be at individual tables for a while longer I though we should get inexpensive cloth to go over these two tables.
The fabric lady in the bell choir stopped in a store after rehearsal this evening. Corduroy colors won’t match. But what she described as a “craft felt” would and is a lot cheaper. Cost is an issue because these may only be used until we can get back to a common table.
I know bell sound is enhanced with corduroy and isn’t at all with many synthetic materials. From the bell sound, would felt work?

Craft felt is a non-woven fabric. It doesn’t drape like corduroy at all, and the color won’t look the same. For an inexpensive solution, try faux suede (it has other names)- a brushed polyester that has a nap, like corduroy, and costs much less, It looks good, and doesn’t wrinkle. We’ve used it for years, and it works just fine.
