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.
Best Answer: Minimum drop for a tablecloth is 12 all around, which means a minimum of 10 feet (120 inches) for the 8' table, and 8' minimum (96 inches) for the 6' table. A drop of 2/3 of the way from table top to floor is awkward sizing and looks funny, but you'd need tablecloths of 12 feet (144) and 10 feet (120).
