How to Make Tablecloths for Banquet Tables
- 1). Purchase a piece of fabric from any fabric store. Linen is a good choice for a banquet tablecloth. Have the employee cut the fabric 52 inches by 110 inches. This includes a 1-inch hem on all four sides.
- 2). Set up a sewing machine with thread the same color as the fabric.
- 3). Lay out the fabric in a large open area. Using straight pins, create a 1-inch hem on all four sides and pin them in place.
- 4). Iron the edges flat.
- 5). Sew along the outside edge, to secure the hemline, 1/2 inch in. You must make sure to keep the sewing line the same distance from the edge all the way around the perimeter so the hem looks clean and neat.
- 6). Remove the pins. Wash and dry the banquet tablecloth to loosen the fabric. Iron the tablecloth. Cover the table.
