How to Use the Table Runner Size Calculator
Select a table preset or enter your table's length and width manually. Choose your desired overhang on each end and a seam allowance. The calculator shows your finished runner dimensions, suggested widths, and how much fabric to buy.
Runner Width Guide
- ⅓ of table width is the classic proportion (e.g., 12" runner on a 36" table).
- Narrow (10–12") works well for console and sideboard tables.
- Wide (16–20") creates a bold statement on large dining tables.
