    Wow. My wicked step mother knows how to fold fitted sheets so that they look just like they came from the manufacturer. Right now it's not an issue for me. I only have 1 set of sheets for my king size bed. They are 1,200 count thread that I bought from Sam's club 6 years ago. Have used them every day since. Wash them once a week and back on the bed they go. They are SO AWESOME - feels like sleeping on velvet. I will probably have to be committed when they finally wear out!!!

    I learned this on my own. I have 3 sets for beds. My folding isn't quite so neat. I keep my fitted sheets & pillow cases folded within my flat sheets.

    Great video. I certainly wouldn't want to wash sheets from all 5 beds in 1 day, It would take me forever to fold them!

    Good video. I checked out the folding of a t-shirt too. Now I am going to try the sheet and t-shirt.

    I don't know where I learned how to do this folding of the sheets, but it must have been about 40yrs ago. The only difference is that I put the flat one and the pillowcases inside the fitted sheet before the last fold over. That keeps the sets together. I have a set of flannels for Winter and 1200ct (like satin) for Summer. I must confess (these days) that most of the time I take them straight from the dryer and put them back on the bed during each Season. :roll:

    Just watched the T-shirt Video......a LOT of pinching going on there. I do a similar method, but, no pinching. Just fold it in half at the armholes and hold it up against your chest and fold into thirds.

    I have folded them pretty much like that as long as I can remember. But hubby just watched tute here with me and says that they ought to just take out the pockets and add velcro instead. That way no elastic. What do you think?

    That is how I fold mine, just came to me one day a few years ago, but I am not so fussy squaring up the corners.

    Thanks for the link. I tried folding it that way and I was able to fit them into the closet better. 8-)
