Is there a better way to fold sheets?
Whilst making the bed and changing the sheets this morning, after fitting the bottom fitted sheet and putting the top sheet on I was wondering if there was a better way to fold it.
Is there a way to fold the top sheet so I can place the folded sheet on the bed and just open it up with out having to resort to giving the thing a big flick to straighten it out.
There must be a way to fold the sheet as I iron it so I can just put it on the bed and open it out. Does any one have any suggestions?
I have already made a template so I can get crisp 45 deg hospital tucks.Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I´m not so sure about the universe.

yes there is 2 aunts used this method and time in hospitals of old system I used to observe. One a nurse the other years working in hospitality.
The sheets are folded into 3rds longest edge 1st, then folded again 3rds, this way you open fold out along the bed then drag one side across the bed.

I'll ask our maid and get back to you Phil.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

Easy? I think it takes two for a good result and next time I'm "requested" to help fold the sheets I'll pay attention to what's going on.
Basically you put your hand into a corner and fold the opposite corner into the hollow, then repeat untill you run out of (fitted) corners. You get left with a sort of blobby rectangle that can be folded in half for storage.
Edit
I googled "how to fold a fitted sheet"......there's 376 videos and nearly 900,000 'results'.
Is housework the "next big thing" for galoots?We don't know how lucky we are......

You iron your sheets? :dunce:
But folding fitted sheets is one of my super powers. You put one corner on your hand. run you hand along the edge till you get to the next corner. put that one onto the first corner on your hand keeping right sides facing and wrong sides facing. (ie, it doesn't really matter which way the corner goes on you habd. ) Continue around the edge collection corners and stacking them an your hand untill you have all 4. ........... how to explain the next bit? ..... I'm going to have to make a video aren't I.
There rre some on the net that do it with the sheet lying ion the top of the bed....

Phil, don't contemplate the uncontemplatable. Go to the shed and play with the Spindle Moulder and seek perfection there.
For the record, yes I do wash, hang out to dry and fold all articles of our linen closet and there is no way of folding the fitted sheet, just do your best and throw into said cupboard, close the door in a hurry and runPat

Starch them to, can't beat getting in between fresh crisp sheets
When I make the bed, it has perfect hospital tucks at the end, their is an exact even amount of sheet hanging from both sides (I keep a fo;ding riler in my pocket for this part of the job) before I tuck in.
Even the Savoy can't match how I make the bed, a man has to do the job properly.Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I´m not so sure about the universe.
