This method has been traditionally used in my family for decades, and I believe it is extremely effective. However,
upon research, I have found other methods (i.e. the pinch and twist method) that require less hand movement and the
outcome is essentially the same. I would definitely recommend the use of the one with less steps, given that the time to
complete each fold is reduce, the productivity can be greatly improved, especially when folding several items
subsequentially.
