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.
How To Measure For A TableCloth. To determine what size tablecloth is best for your needs and your table, you will need to know two things: 1  The length and width of your table or, if you have a round table, you will need to know the diameter.2  How far down off the edge of the table you want the tablecloth to drape (this is called the drop).ince the drop is on both sides of the table, multiply the drop by 2 and add this measurement to both the width and length. For example, your table is 48x84. If you want a 12 drop, multiply 12 x 2 (24) and add 24 to your width (72) and length (108). Thus, the cloth should be 72x108.
