When I was a child, people used to use tablecloths all the time. There was a fabric that was kind of like vinyl and had a flannel back that was commonly used. I can't think of the name of this fabric. Will someone please help me out?

We just called it flannel-back vinyl. Walmart still carries it. Well, at least around here.

Other fabric stores may, as well.

Sounds like oil cloth to me too. I recall making a hobby horse in kindergarten from this shiny fabric. Boy...that was a looooooong time ago.
