Lay sheet on bed or table. Arrange and fold the corners neatly. Turn in selvage edges enough to make 4 straight sides.
Fold in half, then in half again. (All four corners will be stacked together, and sheet will be in a long strip.
Then fold the long strip in half, then in half (or thirds, depending on the size of the sheet) again to make a square.
Sheet should be a compact, neat square.
Smooth and place on shelf.

Precisely! Papa Smurf drives me crazy because he wads up the sheets. Now, I'm not SO anal that I will iron sheets... okay, so I might have done so once or twice... but I can't stand wrinkled up sheets.

Oddly, I hate making my bed in the morning. I just don't see the point of making something I'm going to mess up again.

I don't "make the bed" per se...but I will pull the covers up and smooth them. This keeps the cats out of the sheets.

I cannot stand sheets tucked in at the sides. Hotels?...I must pull the sheets out to the foot of the bed so they have enough room to flow over/around me. I cannot sleep in a 'tent' of sheets/blankets. I need to have them snugged around.

I'm the same way. Mr. Clod, on the other hand, must have them tucked in tightly. So his half is tucked in, mine is not.

Can you fold a fitted sheet?
 
Can you sit on a slitted sheet?

I am a sheet freak. I have to have them situated exactly right or I won't sleep. There has to be an equal amount of sheet/blanket on both sides of my bed before I can deal. And I won't sleep on any sheets that are rough or made of that damned T-shirt material.

Yes, I know how to fold a fitted sheet...poorly.

TheMercenary 10-29-2007 06:07 PM

My wife is obsessed with making the bed in the morning. No one can do it right. If I make it she ends up making it over. If I help she has to tell exactly how to do it right. At least it looks nice and I never have to make it. :D

Aliantha 10-29-2007 06:09 PM

Sheets made out of tshirt material? That's weird.

I'm a bit OC about my bed too Case. It has to be just right or things just don't go well for me when it comes to sleep.

DucksNuts 10-29-2007 07:06 PM

Tshirt material sheets rock!! I love them, but they arent good with rough bits on your feet in summer.

I dont make my bed in the mornings, I pull the covers all the way back and air them.

I dont like tucked sheets and I dont like blankets.

And V, stop yer poutin'. There's plenty things about you to like, and some few to bitch about too.

Insert smiley here.

I don't know. I have only one fitted sheet. It gets washed (I'm not saying how often :p ) dried and put back on.
I'm with Ducks as far as not making the bed each morning goes. I let it air out during the day. Nicer that night.

BrianR 10-31-2007 10:10 AM

all this talk makes me wonder: How many of you use satin sheets and how do you deal with the sliding all over? My truck rocks and rolls and my sheets keep sliding off! I fixed it by having the top and bottom sheet sewed together a la waterbed sheets.

Aliantha 10-31-2007 04:40 PM

I have a set of satin sheets but rarely use them. I really don't like the feeling of sleeping on them.

monster 10-31-2007 09:30 PM

ugh. cotton all the way.....

jinx 10-31-2007 10:23 PM

Jersey knit (t-shirt) or flannel only.

Aliantha 10-31-2007 11:07 PM

I'm with you monster. I love cotton sheets. Can't stand flannel or anything that you're prone to get tangled up in.

JuancoRocks 10-31-2007 11:09 PM

a fitted sheet?
 
If the sheets are not at least 1200 thread count its like sleeping on sandpaper....Terry cloth??? ...Only when camping....

Think about it....You sleep on your sheets every day of your life....
If your sheets aren't something special...They should be.

Cotton. It's what's for dinner. :p

Aliantha 11-01-2007 05:49 PM

1200 thread count??? Are you CRAZY? Isn't that like really high? I find sheets with a high thread count too hot to sleep under to be honest. I like the ones that're lighter so you can hardly feel they're there, but you know they are just...well, just because.

Go ahead, you can say it. You have to know the sheets are there so the monster under the bed cannot grab your foot.

I like smooth sheets, but I do not like slick, satin ones. I like flannel sheets in the winter, but I have a terrible time turning over in bed with them, they twist my nightshirt all around my body because the fabric drags on the flannel and I don't like it. It wakes me up too much trying to straighten everything out when I roll over.

One thing I like to do when making quilts (quilts for me, at least) is use a sheet for the backing. Then the quilt is like it's own portable bed; sheet, blanket and pretty top all sewed into one.

This is exactly the sort of stereotyped image and unfounded rumour about me that really REALLY makes my blood boil! :mad: Why, I ought to come over there while you'rre sleeping and check out that rumour about you having 6 toes...

Hooves don't have toes, do they? ;)

She's hoof-hearted, silly. Hoof-hearted and weird-footed. It's seven toes on one foot, actually. And she snores like a fart in a trumpet.

*crawls back under the bed to wait for more feet*

this fucking thread is out of control.

Nope. That's Hubby. I don't snore. And I don't fart, either. Well, maybe I do, but they don't stink. And I'm NOT gonna fluff the covers to find out for sure.


*I'll wave my seven toes at you tonight, from under the safety of my blankets.
