Can you fold a fitted sheet? - Page 2

I still don't get why anyone bothers though. Sure we can all do it, but it's amazing how tightly you can wad a sheet if you need to.

Maybe you all just have too much linen.

I have two sheets for my bed - one is on it and the other is approximately folded. Even in a small room I don't need to worry about the extra few cm that would come from folding it correctly

There must come a point when the wadding tightly and ramming in a closet is as much effort as folding?

it seems like learning to touchtype -so complex, it's hardly worth the effort, but once you've mastered it you wonder why you ever thought the other way was easier.

Can you fold a fitted sheet?

1. (paranoid) Who told you about my sheets?
2. Depends on what it is fitted to.
3. Sure. Swan, rabbit, flower, or sailor hat?
4. Only if the grand Wizard takes it off first.

I'm with you on that one SG. I don't keep a huge pile of sheets really. A couple of changes for each of the beds, but most of them stay in the linen closet because I when I wash the sheets I tend to put the freshly washed ones back on the bed. (They smell so good)

No, it's always easier to wad than to fold. Actually, we have an add about toilet paper on telly here that stars a little boy complaining about being a folder in a family fully of scrunchers.

It's quite a funny concept. Makes you really think about your toilet habits.

The TP commercial sounds cute!

I had never thought about folding the fitted sheet. I guess it never occured to me, as I'd tried it and couldn't get it to 'go', so I'd just sort of try to fold it in 4ths and then wad/stuff it in the closet. I figured they could only be folded by the machines that folded them to fit in those tiny bags they come crammed into.
Blew me away when I saw that photo-tutorial and found I actually COULD do it.

Aliantha · 10-28-2007, 08:21 PM

yes, but now you know how, will you bother doing it anyway?

I disagree.

Aliantha · 10-28-2007, 08:33 PM

yes well, that's the difference between you and me.

I have to ask though, don't you think it's quicker to wad?

monster · 10-28-2007, 08:35 PM

nah, I get all tangled up. Folding also helps free trapped underwear, so it's a twofer.

Aliantha · 10-28-2007, 08:41 PM

lol...don't you look in the corners for other bits and pieces?

Usually I only put my sheets and pillow cases in the washer, so I know what to look for.

Aliantha · 10-28-2007, 08:41 PM

wooohoooo...we're beating that shitty thread. (thanks UT)

Why do two tasks when you can do one? No need to look, you find and remove by stacking the corners. I fold as the things come out of the dryer, though -not in a nancy way laid out on the bed -that would take forever.
