This napkin folding technique is good for those dinners where you want something fancy, but not too complex. This requires either stiff material or starch.
1
Lay the napkin face down in front of you.
2
Fold the napkin in half and orient the open end towards you.
3
Fold the napkin into quarters.
4
Orient the napkin so that the open end is pointing away from you.
5
Fold the napkin in half by bringing the far end up to the front. Press this fold down well.
6
Take the top-layer of napkin and fold it back, making a crease about 1/2"-1" before the top.
7
Flip the napkin over, keeping the single-layer tip pointing away from you.
8
Fold the napkin in half from left to right and press the fold down well.
