You really don't want to be the goofball who got fleeced buying beer in Georgia, wine in Florida and liquor in Virginia. That'll add up. Here are three maps from the Tax Foundation, a non-partisan tax research group based in Washington, D.C, detailing the state taxes on beer, liquor and wine in all of the fifty states. Know before you go: What borders to cross to buy wine: Tax Foundation.
Basic Dimensions. A typical table runner hangs down about 10 to 15 inches or so on each side of the table, no matter the shape of the table. When measuring for a table runner, add 20 to 30 inches to the length of the table to get the length of the runner. The width offers more variation, ranging from 1/3 to 1/4 the width of the table. Use the thinner width on a smaller table, especially if the table is round.
Choose a fabric that is relatively thick â cotton or cotton/poly blends (for a relaxed look) or a satin or brocade (for a more formal look). Measure the width of your table â your finished table runner should be about one third the width of your table. Add one and one half inches to all sides to allow for hemming. Measure the length of your table â your finished length should be the length of the table plus twelve inches on both ends for the overhang.
