how to do side pockets with cloth

[ballafish]

I have looked and looked but was unable to find anything on this.

Is it possible to do the pockets on a table (gold crown 1) without making relief cuts in the cloth?

Thanks for your input.

side pockets

Thank you all I did watch the youtube and it looks like he cut out 4 relief cuts to allow for the curve in the pockets.

slack not the same?

why would the slack be different on the side pockets?

Because one side is your anchor side and one side is your stretch side, so there's a bit different tension on each. I would recommend with your lack of experience doing pockets that you go ahead and do the relief cuts and cover them with the cuff that you see a lot of us use. You should be able to find info on those on here. You won't be able to finish the pockets without cuts though.

cuff?

Do you mean with a strip of cloth glued over the cuts? That is what i did on my table last time and did not like the look.

Thanks again,
