Paper napkins are great for birthday parties, while cotton and linen napkins allow for a more professional look (hotels, restaurants, etc. ).
Another great option is to cut your napkin to a square size. However, you want to make sure to not leave any frayed edges when you do so. This is better for paper napkins, rather than nice family napkins used for holiday dinners.
After you have folded, open the napkin back up. You should have 4 sections. Cut off one of the outside sections and you are ready to begin.
