    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

    It's a laundry site. If you're here for fitness GTFO

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

    I stopped trying.....

    Lol.

    This is the "chat" section of a fitness site. So if folding properly burning calories, it's relevant.

    A lovely little trick I do...I do have 2 or 3 sets of sheets. I fold the fitted one the best I can. Fold the flat sheet and tuck both of those into the matching pillowcase. Then, regardless of how well you can fold the fitted sheet, it is at least flattened and tucked away neatly, rather than chunking it into the linen closet aka avalanche central.

    You fold sheets?! We have one set. It goes on the bed, gets put in the washing machine/dryer on clean sheet day, and goes back on the bed before sleeping time. No folding involved. When we wear holes in them, I buy new ones. End of story.

    Nope and I don't bother with it. I roll it up and stuff it in the cedar chest.

    I'm a weirdo. I fold my sheets into nice packets with the pillowcases in the middle, flat sheet around that, then the fitted sheet folded around that.

    Yep. I like to call my technique 'The Wad'. I simply fold it into a weird shaped ball/square and quickly shove in drawer. ; )

    I do an awesome job at folding fitted sheets. I used to have a problem folding waterbed sheets, I learned to be a master at it, so that makes folding fitted sheets very easy to me.

    Learned how when I worked in a laundry room. Not that hard once you learn, but I couldnt begin to attempt to explain it in writing! lol!

    A lady at the laundry mat showed me in my early 20's. Total stranger. She was watching me try and came over shaking her head. I went home and taught my mom!! :-)

    One of those little tricks I will never forget.

    I attempt it but usually end up with a rolled up looking sheet. LOL In the linen closet it goes as a ball. :)

    Yes I can. If only I could find a job whose requirements were "surf web and fold fitted sheets"....

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

    ^^
    When I was 18, I was shocked to have to teach a 40 year old man how to do this? awkward! That's what happens when you're raised with a mom who has OCD when it comes to a clean house.

    You'll probably give up that nonsense after you have your baby. At least I hope you do. :noway:

    This may be the biggest reason I'd consider getting re-married.

    Yes. Yes I can. My mother was crafty and instilled such knowledge in her children :)

    How funny! I googled this yesterday and found a great video on youtube. I followed the directions and folded all my fitted sheets.
    I'm not perfect by far, but they look a lot better than they did on Wednesday.

    Yep, and yep I do, otherwise my linen closet would be a mess!
    I fold it in half laid out flat (short end to short end) with the elastic on the inside, turn the top two corners end's corners inside-out and tuck them into the bottom corners, then line up the middle bit so it's straight like a square bit of fabric, and fold from there so it's half the size of a pillowcase. Then I fold the flat sheet to the same size, and put them both tidily into the matching pillowcases, fold it over, and stack it neatly in the linen closet on it's "size" shelf (cot, single, queen, king).

    I have five children, a husband, and a frequently used spare bed! Organised isn't an option it's a necessity!

    Yes I can, and it looks like a flat sheet. Then I fold the flat sheet and the pillow cases and tuck everything into one pillow case, nice and neat.
