I have a question??

How do you all fold your fitted bed sheet, especially the new ones that have elastic all around the sheet? There is just no way to square it up to fold it.
So let me know your secret cause mine come out all wrinkled when i go to put it on my bed.

I know you're serious.....but it cracks me up....lol. I personally wouldn't worry about it. No one will ever see it and the first night will wrinkle them up anyway. I would probably just roll them up and stick them on a shelf or in a drawer.

Someone has got to have a better answer than me....lol. So far I do not have any of those kind of sheets.....yet.

I tuck two corners on one end together.....then tuck the other two corners together on the other end......then I tuck all of the corners together........I get ahold and shake them so it will kinda' smooth out.......then I just fold it. It's still not the prettiest but it's the best that I can do!!!

Diana, thats how i use to do it but the newer fitted sheets have elastic all the way around, hard as i try to square it up, i can't.

Truth is i usually take the sheets off the bed wash them and then put them right back on. But after a while i get tired of the same sheet set on my bed.

Good grief sheets are expensive also!!!!

Hmmm.......I guess it's obvious that I don't have new sheets!!! LOL I guess you just have to do the best you can and figure that nobody's going to see them anyway!!!

Mine don't end up pretty either, but it's the best I can do.... you know how they have seams from the corners down to the elastic? I stick my fingers to the ends of the seams and pull them straight out in all 4 corners. Then, keeping the elastic part to the inside, I will fold 2 corners to the other 2 corners, and try to make the edges as square as possible, and then fold as normal! They're lumpy, but they fit in the closet lol.
