What Does Simmer Mean? Simmer is technically the heat that is just below the boiling point of the liquid. A simmer is reached within a pot on the stove when the liquid is hot and just has a bubble or two forming at a time and reaching the top of the liquid before popping.
Decide how much overhang you want from your tablecloth. For most purposes, an overhang or drop length of at least 6 inches (15cm) is appropriate. A shorter drop length may make the tablecloth look too small for the table.
Depending on the event type, there should be different levels of drop from the edge of the table to the bottom of the tablecloth. For a formal occasion, such as a wedding, you want a longer drop. Have about 15 inches from the edge of the table to the bottom of the tablecloth.
