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.
However, for a table cloth you need to measure the length and width of the table plus 12 overhang on each side. For example, if your table â¦ is rectangular 72 long and 30 wide you'll need fabric 96 long and 54 wide minimum (plus you'll need to add a little extra to allow for hemming; maybe another inch per side).
