[BlindTlk] How do i correctly fold a fitted sheet?

[Ericka]

Ha Hah! Sort of like what my friend does. Just fold everything that you can, nested into one of those evil big pocketed sheets and fold so they don’t fall out. Then put them in the linen closet or wherever. We have those same sheets you’re talking about Steve. They stay on better than anything else you can buy. The price is worth it!

I would add that the newer "deep pocket" fitted sheets that are intended to be used on thicker mattresses or mattresses with thick pads are even harder to fold in any neat fashion.  Here is my big secret in dealing with this.  I make sure that my neatly folded top sheet is in the pile of sheets over the fitted sheet thereby hiding the fitted sheet to some degree.  <smile>
