Patent ID: 7044067

Claim:
A method of decorating and using a fabric cover generally corresponding to a table top of selected shape but smaller such that on the table top it will expose parts of the table top, or any covering thereon, beyond the peripheral edges of the fabric cover except for loop extensions periodically extending from the periphery of the fabric cover to the edge of the table top, which loop extensions are narrow relative to lateral spacing between the extensions and provide loops for supporting ties spaced from the fabric cover, near the edge of the table top, and at least one decorative tie, comprising the steps of: feeding the tie through the loops and placing the fabric cover on the table top in position for the loop extensions to extend at least to the edge of the table, and arranging the tie near the edge of the table top so that at least between the loop extensions the tie will drape down from the edge, connecting adjacent ends of the ties to one another in such a way that the completed tie remains loose and slack and able to be viewed between adjacent loop extensions, and, arranging the ties between loops to be drooping, and easily visible throughout their length between the loops.
