- For a proper fit, it's important to have an accurate measurement of your table, the way you'll be using it (with or without leaves). The crochet lace fabric hanging over the edge of the table is referred to as the "drop." It is certainly proper to have a longer drop on the sides than on the ends. The proper drop is determined by the style of the tablecloth and your table setting:
Casual Table Linens should display a drop 6" to 10" each or all sides.
Formal Table Linens should display a drop of 8" to 18" per side.
The longer the drop, the more luxurious look can be achieved. It is proper for the drop of the tablecloth to touch just the top of your chair seats. In a formal setting, the chairs are placed around and up to the table -- never tucked under.
(Antique cherry dining table and floral centerpiece not included.)
Recommended washing instructions for handmade tablecloths made of natural fabrics, such as cotton, linen and lace are to machine or hand wash and line dry.
* Gentle detergent or soap (Ivory/Woolite) can be used with the gentle cycle of your wash. A large bath towel, hung over a shower rod, makes a perfect ‘indoor clothes line’ for drying textile linens.
* Many times, machine drying can cause the fabric to become damaged and it may even shrink. If you must use a dryer, use the gentle cycle / tumble with no heat. Do not over-dry as this may cause any wrinkles to ‘set’.
* For heavily soiled tablecloths, tea cloths, doilies and other table linens, soak the linens in cold water for a few hours (or even overnight) prior to washing.
* The fastest, most reliable way of achieving that ‘just ironed’ look for your table linens is to have the tablecloth, tea cloth, doily or other table linen pressed by your local dry cleaners.
