Question

When someone says "mucha tela" what can it mean?

Answer 1

clipped online:

‘Mucha tela para cortar’.

This literally means ‘a lot of cloth to cut’, but it is used idiomatically to mean that there’s a lot to do, or a lot to talk about. Very often it is used to mean that there’s more to do than you think. Here’s an example:

‘Vamos a centrar en esta cuestión porque hay mucha tela para cortar aquí’

‘Let’s focus on this subject for a while. There’s a lot to talk about here.’
