Master Flat Fold Table

I am having so much fun trying out new flat folds. How about you? I was hoping I could get your help on this project I am working on. Here is a list of folds I have found with tutorials.

If there are more flat fold tutorials that you know about for a different fold, let me know. I am hoping this will turn into a very helpful table for flat addicts. Happy folding!
(If you see a correction I need to make in # layers or where maximum layers is located, let me know).

Diaper Fold	# of layers*	Where maximum # of layers is located	Score
Diaper Bag Fold	12	Front
Origami Fold	8	Same throughout
Kite Fold	4	Front
Pad Fold	12	Same throughout
Airplane Fold	16	Front
Bat Fold	8	Same throughout
Maria’s fold for boys	6	Front
Neat Fold	4	Same throughout
Jo’s Fold	6	Same throughout
Gaynor’s Fold for Girls	9	Middle
Twist Fold	6	Middle
Ro Fold	8	Front
Corners Fold	5	Front
Triangle Fold	2	Same throughout
V Fold	6	Middle

* In the videos for many of these a very large flat was used and folded into fours. From what I understand, a lot of the flats we have sold in the US are smaller, which means we could probably fold each side in by about a few inches and that would give extra layers, but overall the number of layers would be fewer than that shown in the video.

I'm new to flats but I thought I'd heard that the Bat fold and Origami fold are the same thing.

I am so excited about your putting this together. I'm hoping to have flats be my main daytime diaper and I have so much to learn. I'm hoping there are some good girl folds too… that is w/o having to add a doubler. =)

Yeah it is the same end result…with a little different technique for getting there.

Love the table! Here's a possible correction – it looks to me like there are only 12 layers max in the diaper bag fold, since it's basically 4 layers trifolded in the front, unless I'm missing something? Can't wait to try out the other folds you listed!

Ah ha, you are correct! Thank you!

Tara, I don’t remember if I shared this helpful video for the Origami fold or not. Here it is just in case I didn’t and you don’t already have it linked http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqlV6eb2Krk&feature=player_embedded.

Could you add which folds are better for which size ranges? I just recently discovered flats and fell in love! I just read your post about how you would do prefolds if you could do it all over again and I totally understand! I would probably do flats and prefolds if I had to do it again. I would miss my itti bitti prints though

Is it possible to search for flat reviews or retailers?

This is awesome, and will definitely come in handy! I didn’t know there were so many options!

Do you have a chart like this but with diagrams of each of the steps in each (or most) folds? Something printable that could be used on the go?
