How to Fold Cloth Napkins for Table Settings
- 1). Lay the napkin with the right-side facing down. Bring the back two corners -- the two that are farthest from you -- forward to fold the napkin in half.
- 2). Bring the two right corners over to line up with the left-hand corners to fold the napkin into quarters.
- 3). Turn the napkin 90 degrees so the open edges are the right and top sides of the folded square.
- 4). Separate the top-most layer from the top left-hand corner and fold diagonally to meet the bottom right-hand corner.
- 5). Flip the entire napkin over so the fold just made is facing down.
- 6). Fold the right-hand edge toward the middle of the square about one-third of the way over. Fold the left-hand side over about a third of the way and tuck the bottom corner into the small triangle pocket.
- 7). Turn the napkin over and insert silverware in to the pocket.
