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.
This measurement must be added to length and width for both ends and both sides. If you want an 8 drop, add 16 to the length and width measurement of your table. This is your tablecloth size. If you want a 15 formal drop, add 30 to the length and width.
