Tips

 * Make sure that the napkin is tightly pressed and smoothed at every step of the way. If your napkin is loose the final result will not look as good and will fall apart quickly.
 * If you have your napkins laundered, make sure they add starch. If you are ironing yourself, a good dose of spray starch will help the napkins keep their shape.
