How to Measure and Cut a Round Tablecloth

A round tablecloth can add a touch of elegance to any table. However, it is important to measure and cut the tablecloth correctly to ensure a perfect fit. Here are the steps on how to measure and cut a round tablecloth:

Measuring the Table

The first step is to measure the table. To do this, you will need a measuring tape or a string. Measure the diameter of the table from one edge to the other, passing through the center.

Once you have the diameter, add 12 to 18 inches to it. This will give you the desired length of the tablecloth. For example, if the diameter of your table is 48 inches, you would add 12 to 18 inches to get a tablecloth length of 60 to 66 inches.

Cutting the Fabric

Once you have the desired length of the tablecloth, you can cut the fabric. You will need a pair of sharp scissors and a large enough piece of fabric.

Fold the fabric in half, then in half again, so that you have a square or rectangle. This will help you to cut the fabric evenly.

Place the folded fabric on a flat surface. Use a pencil or fabric marker to draw a circle on the fabric. The radius of the circle should be half of the desired length of the tablecloth. For example, if the desired length of your tablecloth is 60 inches, the radius of the circle would be 30 inches.

Cut out the circle. Be sure to cut carefully and evenly.
