Comparing Napkin Fabrics
While all of our napkins may share characteristics such as quality and size, the biggest difference between napkin fabric is the finish and rigidness of the fabric. Because the possibility of each napkin fold is dependent on how rigid (or stiff) the fabric is, your napkin fold depends almost entirely on your fabric choice.
