Everyman's getting a cheque returned: what's needed is folding stuff (7)
I believe the answer is:
origami
'is folding stuff' is the definition.
'everyman's getting a cheque returned' is the wordplay.
'everyman's' becomes 'I'm' (where the setter is Everyman).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'cheque' becomes 'giro' (giro cheque is a kind of cheque).
'returned' is a reversal indicator.
'im'+'a'+'giro'='imagiro'
'imagiro' backwards is 'ORIGAMI'.
'what's needed' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for origami that I've seen before include "Japanese crane construction?" , "that's folding" , "Japanese craft of paper folding" , "US record label" , "Japanese art of folding or tearing paper" .)
