Try this:

It's a TLP kit so I'm going to assume it has mylar 'chutes.

I lay mine out flat with one shroud line at the edge.

I then take the next shroud line and lay it over the top of the first shroud line.

Ditto for the third, fourth, and so on.

I end up with all the shroud lines on one side and a triangular canopy.

Take the loose shroud lines and lift them into middle of your triangle near the point and then back down to the skirt. Fold the canopy over one more time trapping the shroud lines.

Continue folding until you can stuff the little booger inside your BT.
 
Thanks!...I'll try that.I am very worried though,the lines seem to get all screwed up as it is just messing with the chutes on the table.I rigged them the way that causes crossed lines according to what I've seen here lol.Glad i want to build this one again,i have a feeling i may have to.Video of launch tomorrow!
