What You Will Need

  • A tablecloth
  • Measuring tape
  • Fabric scissors
  • Sewing machine
  • Sewing pins
  • Iron and ironing board
  • Thread (matching the tablecloth color)

Step 1: Measure and Cut

Start by measuring the dimensions of your table. You will need to cut the tablecloth slightly larger than the tabletop to ensure a neat and snug fit. Use a measuring tape to determine the appropriate size, and mark the measurements on the fabric using sewing pins.

Once you have marked the measurements, carefully cut the fabric along the marked lines using fabric scissors. Remember to leave an extra 1-2 inches on each side for the hems.

Step 2: Hem the Edges

To create a clean finish on the edges, fold the raw edge of the fabric under by about 1 inch and press it with a hot iron. Make sure the fold is even and stays in place. Secure the fold with sewing pins, and stitch along the inner edge of the fold using a sewing machine. Repeat this process on all four sides of the tablecloth.

Step 3: Making Mitered Corners

Mitered corners give tablecloths a professional finish and eliminate any bulkiness. Start by folding the corner of the tablecloth diagonally, matching the edges of the fabric. The folded edge should align with the outer edge of the tablecloth. Smooth out any wrinkles and press the fold with an iron.

Next, unfold the diagonal fold and notice the crease it has created on the fabric. Cut along this crease, removing the excess fabric. Fold the corner back in place, ensuring the right sides of the fabric are together.

Now, fold the side of the fabric in towards the center, aligning it with the outer edge of the tablecloth. Press the fold with an iron and secure it in place with sewing pins. Repeat this process on all four corners of the tablecloth.

Step 4: Sew the Corners

Using a sewing machine, stitch along the inner fold of each corner. Make sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of each seam for reinforcement. Trim any loose threads.

Step 5: Final Touches

Once you have sewn all the corners, give the tablecloth a final press with the iron to eliminate any wrinkles. Now it’s ready to be used!

Congratulations on your beautifully finished tablecloth! With your newly acquired skills, you can confidently create corners that enhance the overall appearance of your table settings. Enjoy your gatherings and impress your guests with your impeccable attention to detail!
