Fine cotton linens, with fine openwork, delicate as gauze, from the States of Zacatecas, Aquascalientes and Michoacan, are ideal to adorn tables, trays and breadbaskets whereas the work from Hidalgo is typically more festive. When they are more longer and narrower than rectangular, they are called Table Covers and when made out of wool called Table Tapestries.

Table Tapestries are a custom in Mexico, they are placed on entry and hall tables and in the center of the family dining table when placemats are used for daily meals.

It is common for Table Tapestries to be the host for decorative bowls, flower vases, candle sets and napkin holders. They typically are of fine weave wool fabric and narrower in width though are just as common in fine cottons and are also available in satin.
