Some people may really like this paper towel method but I really think that you will be better off just planting the seeds into Jiffy pots to start with and forgetting about the paper towels. If something does not germinate then you can just replant another seed or two in the same pot and you will avoid the possibility of mold getting onto your seeds from the damp environment of a baggie or possibly injuring delicate roots by pulling them off of a paper towel when you try to transplant them.
Carolyn137 is a tomato growing expert and also a microbiologist so if she advises against paper towels then I would heed her advice. She knows what she is talking about based on years of experience.
