Any tips on getting candle wax out of the tablecloth?

We have a nice woven cotton tablecloth, and in spite of some care, our "dinner-mood-enhancing" candles left some not so aesthetically pleasing spatters of wax in the fabric. The larger bits we can scrape off, but there are small spots in the fabric. Anyone have a good trick for getting these out? thanks!

THIS WILL WORK, EVEN IF WASHED.

place a paper bag underneath and on top of spots and iron. Keep ironing with new paper bag until all of the spots are absorbed. just did it for our t-day tablecloth!
