##The Rishonim argue about the reason of the prohibition to fold clothing. The Rambam 22:22 and Rashi [[Shabbat]] 113a "Bishnei Bnei Adam" understand that it is a form of ''mesaken mannah'', an action of improving the clothing, which is a torah-prohibition of ''makkah b’patish''.

He therefore concludes that ''our'' folding should not be prohibited according to the reasoning of the Rambam and Rashi. The reason of the Ra’avad and Tosfos would still apply, though. | ##The Aruch HaShulchan OC 302:10 says that the reasoning of the Rambam and Rashi, that folding is "mesaken mannah" seems to only apply to a professional folding job, or something that will contribute significantly to the permanent improvement of the clothing.
