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

[Pamela Dominguez]

It seems that when I go to fold it by grabbing the corners to put them 
together, I end up finding out that somehow, it has gotten twisted and is 
not facing the same way, or flat the way it should be; so it ends up with a 
pile of sheet in the middle.  Pam.

Thanks Judy.  My mom could always make them look so neat!  I tend to get 
impatient and then whatever happens happens.  Thanks for such a good 
description.

Hi, Sherri,

The fitted sheets never look perfect when folded, because of those elastic 
pocket corners that mess up the lines of the sheet.

Mom used to tuck the corners into each other when folding, but you don't 
have a perfectly folded sheet the way you would a pillow case, napkin or 
regular sheet.

When folding sheets or towels anyway, I'm standing up, grab a corner in each 
hand and place them together making sure corners are as neat as you can get 
them, holding the corners, follow the edges back to the crease and grab it, 
it is your new corner.

Now you have each hand holding right side and left side corners.  Give it a 
snap by raising both hands hi and then down quickly to make it pop to get 
any wrinkles out of the crease.  I fold again shortening the length more, 
snap it again.

At some point, I hang the folded thing over my arm and press out any 
wrinkles by moving the other hand down over the item hanging on my arm.

As the item gets smaller by folding, however you fold, you repeat hanging 
the thing over your arm, then maybe over your hand and smoothing out the 
final folds and creases with the other hand.

So, the process in summary is regardless how you like to fold:
Bring corners evenly together, snap and smooth!  Bring corners evenly 
together, snap and smooth!  Hang over arm, smooth down, hang over arm, 
smooth down, hang over hand smooth down, then finally fold.  Item is getting 
smaller and smaller as you fold.

Have fun, and this is not a dumb question  😊

Judy

I know! This is a crazy question! Does anyone have verbal instructions on 
how to fold a fitted sheet to make it look nice? I have never learned a good 
way to do this! And yes, it took courage to ask this question, because  i 
feel at my age, I should know! Thanks everyone!
