The table cloth is very much too long for the table, the corners touch the ground I need to hem it, but I think I need to fold it under at least six-inches. It is a rectangular cloth on an oval table.Shall I cut the corners off then hem them up so the cloth is then eight sided?Shall I cut the short sides of the rectangle hem it that way?What sort of stitching should I use? The cloth is thin I am concerned that the hemmed bits will be bulky compared to the rest of the cloth.Should the hemming binder, (it is a roll of tape that can be bound to cloth by use of ironing), be used instead of stitching?What do you suggest?
Just cut them off so they are the size of the table, leave enough fabric to hem, they're easier to hem that way. My wife's a seamstress and I can sew sails.
