My mother had shown as a child, but I can't seem to pull it off anymore. I am woefully inadequate adult.

    Do I know how to? YES
    Do I? NO

    It's easier if you have 2 people, I live alone. They end up looking like big mounds of fabric...

    I turn them inside out and then collect the seams from the corners and fold that way. A folding table in the laundry area is a BIG help on this.

    I try and try and then get mad and shove it in the closet in a little ball.

    No, but I only have one anyway. It goes right from the dryer to the bed, sometimes even the same day!

    I own one fitted sheet per bed. They get washed and go back on the beds the same day. Folding problem: eliminated! :laugh:

    Tuck the points of the corners into each other like this: http://youtu.be/_Z5k9nWcuFc

    No, I don't know how but I might have at one time. As a single mom, I have much better things to do, like living. Stupid fitted sheets.

    I'm far too lazy to properly fold fitted sheets. They get half-assed folded and thrown in the linen closet where nobody can see them!

    If by "fold" you mean "wad in a ball" then, yes.

    I don't know if there is a right way to do it, but this is how I do it. Fold in half (top to bottom) tuck the corners into the corners, then fold in half again(side to side) tuck inthat corner and kinda roll/fold three times and if its still too big fold it again. Thats how I do it!

    My mom can fold a fitted sheet and it looks just like a flat sheet when she is done. I wasn't so lucky to inherit that talent so I just wash, dry and then put right back on the bed, no folding needed. :)

    Seems pointless to me. A rough-justice folding (or even just cramming it into a ball) seems to be more efficient. I mean, when it is not in your closet, you cover it up with a top sheet and comforter and you lay on it. Who cares if you folded it "right"?

    Is this a fitness/diet site or a laundry site?

    I would throw it in a ball and put it in a closet....

    OR listen to the other peoples advice on here :D

    I just fold the sides and corners down so that I have a flat piece of fabric to work with. You need a big flat space like a folding table or bed to do it. It's not hard.

    This would be the Chit-chat forum, actually.

    I always fold it in half once, then roll it up like a sleeping bag. That also makes it easier to tell the fitted sheets from the flat sheets when glancing into the closet.

    I can fold them like nobody's business!!

    Tuck the corners inside each other, then lay the "square" on a table. Fold 1/3 of the fabric towards the middle and then fold the fabric over again creating a long rectangular piece. Next fold the long piece by 3rds again, towards the middle from one end and then repeated with the other end. You get a perfectly folded piece of material.

    If you can visualize that... super easy with just one person :)

    Yes, I can. My dad will actually save all of his for when I come over and then have me fold his too. He's 61, I'm 31... I'm not quite sure how he survived before I started doing this for him... Men, eh?
