DG Collections Cotton Dinner Napkins Red, Set of 12 (20 x 20 Inches), Over Sized, Embroidery and Print, Lint Free, Quick Dry, Hemmed with Mitered Corners

These are perfect for everyday family dinners. I needed to replace some napkins that had gotten soft enough not to need ironing but were frayed and getting holes from bleaching.Polyester makes napkins worthless, in my opinion, so I wanted 100% cotton. These are ideal. Smoothed out and folded while still warm from the dryer, they are fine for family supper. A quick steam iron would make them dressy enough for company, too, although they have plain hems—no fancy hemstitiching. Our dishes, both everyday and formal, are blue and white, so this navy is ideal with a white table cloth.

These very nice large napkins are of good quality, well made and are the large size I like. I like to make them part of a gift that is different and sometimes unusual. I look for napkin rings that fit a friend's hobby or special interest and then include the napkins with one or two folded into a different pattern. I especially like the motif of crabs and lobster for those who love seafood/sushi, holiday themes or flowers. These napkins are exceptionally nice and reasonable, too.

I love the rich color of these napkins but wish I loved the fabric itself more. The weave is a little rough. Also, these napkins come out of the dryer really, really wrinkled. My way of working around this is to dry them, then wet them down with a mister and smooth them flat with my hands and let them dry. I bought three dozen, so this is a bit of a project. Maybe with time, they’ll be more cooperative.

These are very nice napkins, suitable for everyday use or for having company over (if you iron them). They are a good weight and size, with well-hemmed edges and crisp mitered corners. The first time I washed and dried them, they came out crumpled into little balls and I was kind of freaked out, because I didn't want to have to iron them every time I washed them. But I sensed that they had some kind of sizing on them that was making them sort of stick to themselves. After a second washing, they came out much better. You might still want to iron them if you want them to look like hotel restaurant napkins, but I take and fold them straight out of the dryer, smoothing them a little with my hands. To me, they are just fine that way for everyday use.

I was easy about ordering these napkins because there were no review yet. But I needed them in a hurry and these were the right size and 100% cotton, so I went ahead and ordered them. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. These are perfect! Strong, soft cotton, plenty large, and beautifully made--for a great price. These are the best you can find.

I was very pleased to find that after washing these napkins hold their shape very well. I can still fold into a proper fold. They do good with a quick press but don’t really even need that. Extremely surprised and happy with that! I love the feel of the fabric and the color has not faded out after several washings.

These are of a nice, mid-weight twill. It feels nice. However, it is not cut straight on grain, so it is impossible to square up and difficult to get a fold even with the hem. A few of the napkins have a random blue thread woven in. These are OK for casual family meals. I purchased a set in a different color at the same time. They came with a different label and are perfect.

I like the size of the napkins, and number, 12 for the price. I bought black napkins and hope the color will last. They are not wrinkle free if you don't take from them in the dryer immediately. They are cotton and a bit stiff upon initial use.
