Hardly - since Jesus was not buried in a shroud but rather strips of cloth and the napkin that covered his face was neatly folded in the tomb I can say without a doubt that the shroud of Turin is a fake. Let's pretend for just a moment that you are right. Why is modern science unable to recreate the Shroud, let alone explain how it could have been made with medieval technology.
Has it ever crossed your mind that the word "napkin" DID NOT mean the same thing in the 16th century that it means today?

I don't know nor do I really care how this thing was made. If you believe the plain meaning of scripture it must be a fake

Napkin is from the Greek word soudarion which means a cloth for wiping perspiration from the face and for cleaning the nose and also used in swathing the head of a corpse. From Strongs Greek dictionary of the New Testament
