I usually just reshape it if it gets too wack. Depends on how I fold it. How do you fold it when you feel that it loses it shape?

The size and material of the square has a lot to do with it. 17x17 or 16x16 wool/silk squares stay up pretty good. Small silk squares will slip down all day long....little 13x13 squares are pretty worthless.

I use numerous styles but the most problematic is the square fold (presidential). It doesn't stay up for long

The trick is using an index card or similar inside the square. If that is the look you are going for, that's the best way to achieve it.
