Flats as inserts

lbonga1

I'm considering replacing all of our microfiber inserts with pad-folded flats, but would it be safe to sew them so that they stay folded? I might be too lazy to fold them every time before stuffing. I was considering tri-folding prefolds, but I think pad-folded flats are still trimmer. Also, would the basic birdseye cotton flats from kelly's closet be absorbent enough?

I don't have a ton of inserts but I have gobs of receiving blankets I fold and stuff with sometimes. It really doesn't take much time to fold, they're pretty absorbent and I've never had stink issues.
