Since there is a lot of fabric between
the A and B line attachment points, it is easy
to separate the two line groups: Look down
inside the first small S-fold of the stabilizer
and find the "extra" bunch of fabric. Now
make the rest of the canopy into S-folds like
the stabilizers: Put your hand in between the
A and B lines on one side (near where they
pass their own grommet) and pull them out to
the side. This will give the cells on one side
the correct type of flaking.
Now repeat the process with the other A and
B groups, pulling the fold out to the other
side.

Now that you've pulled out the canopy
between the A and B line groups, do the
same thing between the B and C lines. Pull
the fold of fabric between the two groups out
to each side.

Now find the D line group, the group of
lines nearest the tail. (Not the steering
lines— they are attached at the trailing
edge.) Pull the left-hand steering lines off to
the left (to get them out of the way). Follow
the stabilizer down to the D lines and pick
up all the D lines on the left side. The Quick
is a 7-cell canopy, so you should have four
lines. All lines in your hand should go
through the same grommet. If they don't,
you've picked up a wrong line.
Now that you are holding only the correct D
lines, you may let go of the steering lines.
Take the whole D-line group on one side and
pull it out gently. Fold the D-line group in with
one motion to put a real fold in the fabric be-
tween the C and D lines. Do the same thing
on the other side.
