Placemats and runners have hems turned up to the start of the pattern.  In addition to masking the hem, a deeper makes for a heavier edge.

Tea towels are fine to medium weight linen.  Tea towels may be used for wrapping baked goods to keep them warm, or for lining serving trays.  Typical size is 16" x 22".
