Then the users need to add one inch for the cloth hem and the length of the drop ranges in between the ten to twelve inches and the length of the short drops usually ranges in between the sixteen to twenty-four inches and for the medium-sized drop, it ranges in between the twenty-eight to thirty inches. In order to attain the best drop length for the table cover, the users are advised to sit on their table and then find out the specific length for their drop cloth.
- Calculate The Width: Then the users require to calculate the width of the table and then add the inches for their table drop and multiply it by 2.
