How many yards do you need for a 132 Round Tablecloth?
There are two solutions.
First, just cut your round tablecloth out of a length of fabric, and throw away the waste corners.
Second, make a number of triangles (6 to 10), long thin wedges each one sixth (tenth) of the circumference at the sort end, and the length of the wedge being the radius of your table. sew them together to make your circular tablecloth out of the wedges, and trim off the surplus.
And all possible answers will need you to assume a particular width for the cloth.
A cloth named after a village all fibers combed one way?
Worsted is the name of a yarn, the cloth made from this yarn, as well as a yarn weight category. The name derives from the village of Worstead in the English county of Norfolk. This village became, along with North Walsham and Aylsham, a centre for the manufacture of yarn and cloth after weavers from Flanders arrived in Norfolk in the 12th century.

How much is a pfaff tipmatic 1151?
I saw one on sale on line for $599, it was supposedly serviced and tested.
I just bought a used one from my local sewing machine shop for $275.
The serviced it, and spent over an hour showing me how to use many of its features.
I saw one that sold at a good-will auction for $155, but it was untested,
AND it was missing the power cord and floor pedal (about $150 to replace).
So I would say that one that is recently serviced and in good working order is worth between about $300 - $500. If it hasn't been serviced, and you can't verify that everything works properly, I would expect to pay less.
Many sewing stores will charge about $100 to service a machine.
