It is sometimes rectangular in shape and can be further shaped and molded into elegant and wonderful styles and designs. It can also have various colors too.

In a conventional setup, it is often folded and placed in the left of the table setting, outside the outermost fork. In any restaurants, it may be folded into more or less fancy shapes and are often displayed on an empty plate. Some would even use some techniques in origami to create some three dimensional designs. It often comes binded with a napkin ring and has its designated holder as well.

Linen will always be a good fabric to make such. It would add further elegance to some parties and events. This would be a common and expensive material that do have longer cotton fibers and can be very durable. This could be washed gently with the use of cold water and can be ironed in high heat especially when it is still slightly damp.

It can be washed with some stain treaters and some bleach for the white ones. A quick touch of iron may also do the trick. Its prices may vary depending on the size and the design that is embedded on it.

Fiber also produces another material called polyester. It is made into a fine yarn to imitate and copy the weaves of a linen or some other fabrics as well. The polyester that comes plainly often brings simple styles, yet vibrant colors. This is due to the complex patterns or weaves that will somehow camouflage the shiny or rough texture of the fabric. This is not prone to fading and may produce a very rich and vivid color.

In choosing fabric napkins, they should be capable of standing several washes. Those that are produced from thinly woven cloth and those that possess any straight end stitching might not resist wear and tear that their prices must endure. You should select the exact item that would last for many washes and uses.

For most fast foods and restaurants, they use some paper napkins because it can be easily disposed. These could be helpful in various situations because it is portable and could be brought anywhere.
