The napkins are set to the left of the fork. More formal or fancy settings can put the napkin in the center of the service plate. Many times the napkin will be folded and placed in the empty water glass. Luncheon and dinner napkins are treated the same, they are just a different size.
Make the tablecloth at least 12 inches wider than the table, to overhang each end at least 6 inches; make napkins 12 inches square. For a 48-inch-square cloth and four napkins (for a 30- or 36-inch table), buy 13/4 yards of woven 48-inch-wide fabric; the fabric must be a full 48 inches wide.
