How to Fold a Cloth Tablecloth

Rectangular Tablecloths

1). Iron the cloth tablecloth with an iron and ironing board to remove creases. Check the cloth's label to determine at what temperature you need to iron it.
2). Hold the tablecloth in front of you with the top side facing away from you and the narrow side up.
3). Fold the tablecloth in half. Shake the tablecloth once and fold it in another half to create a long, narrow cloth with four layers. Hang it up on a hanger to avoid further creases.
4). Fold the long, four-layer cloth in half and another half if you prefer to store it on shelves.

2). Hold the tablecloth up in the air and shake it once. Hold it with the top side facing toward you.
3). Move your hands downward, toward the center of the tablecloth's periphery. Allow the tablecloth to fold into a semicircle with its top facing you.
4). Place the semi-circular tablecloth on a flat surface such as a dinner table or a clean, carpeted floor with the round edge nearest you.
5). Pick up the bottommost edge of the semi-circle and fold it up to the opposite end of the tablecloth. You should have a narrow, trapezoid-shaped cloth in front of you with two slightly rounded ends.
6). Fold the trapezoid shape in half by folding one round edge end over the other.
7). Fold both round-edge ends into the center to get a square-shaped, folded tablecloth.
