Instructions on Folding a Banquet Tablecloth to Fit Your Table
- 1). Center the cloth on the table. Stand at one end of the table and have a friend stand at the other end. Both of you should grasp a bit of the table cloth at each corner of the table.
- 2). Fold each end of the cloth toward the other person until both ends of the table cloth hang level with the sides of the table cloth. You will have formed two folds in the table cloth across the table.
- 3). Place a pin in the top layer of fabric at the folds to mark where the cloth is at each corner of the table. Unfold the table cloth. You and your friend should again grasp a bit of fabric at each corner of the table.
- 4). Fold the pieces of cloth in your hands under the top layer of the tablecloth until the pins you put in earlier reach the corners of the table. You will once again have two folds in the table cloth, but this time they are under the top layer so they do not show.
- 5). Pin the under layers of the fabric to hold the folds in place.
