Someone once said: "I'd drape myself in velvet if it was socially acceptable."
Unlike Knish, I don't have the balls to do that, but I could use velvet on my dining table for poker night!
I got this "Nylon Velvet Speed Cloth:"
I like the looks and feel of it, and it's smooth enough for a 47" round table, but it's really stiff and I'm doubting a drawstring or elastic would be able to get it flush enough. Maybe if I ironed it first? Anyone else had experience with this? I wonder if it's "real" or if I got duped...
Anyone have experience with other fabrics that would take a drawstring/elastic? I want something that's washable/stain resistant, won't pill, and will hold up over time. I will pay for quality. Here's some Research I've done:
- Wool/nylon blend (aka Baize) felt used for pool tables. From what I've read, a high wool content will not pill.
- Velveteen. I heard this has a grain that will affect card slide. Will that be an issue on a 47" round table though? Can it be washed?
- Gaming suede. Probably the least desirable for me, but I'll take it if none of the above work.
Thx
