How long is a table runner supposed to be???

I bought one I loved in New Mexico, but (silly me) didn't measure the table beforehand. It's too long - maybe 8' and the table is 6 1/2 feet long. Is it ok if it hangs over the sides of the table a bit, or should I ask my dry cleaner to hem it?

It should hang over the table. My mom just made one for me but I don't remember how many inches she told me it would hang over on each side (I haven't received it yet).

Okay, I called my mother Chat Icon. It will hang 8" on each side (this includes 3" of fringe). My table is 6'.

HTH!

They are usually out of the longer lengths in the store so I accidently bought one that does not hang over. It ends about 2" from each end. I actually really like the way it looks like that.
