When I unravelled the J napkin to extract the cutlery, I couldn't help but notice that the J napkin had a slighly different texture than recent J napkins.

So on a whim, I checked... and lo and behold there was button hole.
However, since Friday, I have not seen another button hole on a J napkin...
When I saw this topic active on the first page again, I thought "Aha! yyznomad must finally be back!"

3) I have been only cutting the smallest possible holes with the tip of the knife and really close to the corner, this way the napkins haven't been ruined.
4) I am always inspecting my napkin to see if somebody has cut the hole already or if by any chance I get again the same napkin I have had already cut in the past!
I think I've had one of your hand-cut napkins before! I wondered how that happened.
