    My grandmother made beautiful pieces and her last one was for me. It is a finished tablecloth of very fine threads. It has never been blocked as she passed away before it was done. I have stored it in a cedar chest since 1965 and would like to have it blocked. Does anyone know where I could send it to have it done? It is a very large piece and I do not have any room to work on it.

    Yes - the dry cleaner. I've had several things done by mine over the years.
