How to measure a Striped table runner

First, measure the width of the table. For a perfect look, ensure that the finished table runner is approximately one-third of the width of the table. To all sides, add one and one and half inches. This is to allow for hemming. Measure how long your table is – the length. Here, you should measure the finished length of your table and then add 12 inches on both ends to allow for overhang.
