I was so happy when I saw that and my sheets could be folded nice and neat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651415 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 08:28:24 +0000 Alivoo01 651415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fold it the Martha way! Took a couple tries, but comes second nature now! It's not as pretty as hers of course, but it's "neatly" folded so I'll take it. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651394 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 08:20:40 +0000 lilyofthewest 651394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it is the kind with elastic *just* around the corners, I can make them come out neat and tidy. Can,. I wouldn't say that I usually do.</p> <p>If it is the kind with elastic all the way around or even just all the way along the short edges I can never made them come out anything except lumpy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651384 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 08:16:33 +0000 luckypenny 651384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@softcream: do tell woman!! :)</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: I've seen the pillowcase thing before too...maybe I'll give that a whirl</p> <p>@katiew92081: my mom is a sheet ironer! I always feel so guilty that I don't do it but who the heck has time for that?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651364 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 07:58:36 +0000 honeybear 651364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My method: Lay it on the bed with the elastic up in an oval, fold into thirds lengthwise (i.e., fold the top and bottom thirds in like an envelope) and then fold into thirds crosswise. Done. ;) You can do some smoothing as you go to make it nice and neat, but I usually don't because there is typically a 30-pounder jumping on my sheets while I fold them and there is more to life than uncreased sheets, you know? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651362 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 07:56:14 +0000 heartonastring 651362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I do. My mother is kind of obsessive about those sorts of things so she taught me :)</p> <p>It's just all about tucking the corners into one another and then folding into a rectangle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651360 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 07:53:56 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 651360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom taught me how to fold them. I can't get mine quite as neat as hers. I'm not sure what the Martha way is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651348 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 07:44:47 +0000 MsLipGloss 651348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>. . . the devil! It makes this OCD girl tick! &gt;.&lt;</p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: @softcream: You totally have to share! I just watched a refresher video on the Martha way, but if there is an even better way, bring it on! *prettypleasewithsugar* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651330 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 07:33:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 651330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@softcream: I want to see!!!!</p> <p>Yeah I gave up folding these a long time ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651321 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 07:28:42 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 651321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, thanks to Martha actually :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651300 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 07:16:32 +0000 betsyboop 651300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is really good at folding fitted sheets. I don't have the patience. So I always leave the fitted sheets unfolded on the bed, and he folds them when he comes home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651256 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 06:46:12 +0000 mediagirl 651256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahahah. Saw the post title and had to laugh. I just lay it down, make sure both ends are flipped over and then fold. It's always ugly but I don't care!! Who's looking in my linen closet anyways other than us and maybe my mom once in a while. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651255 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 06:45:24 +0000 immabeetoo 651255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: haha same here </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651252 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 06:45:02 +0000 Dandelion 651252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never fold them. Why bother? I don't understand why people iron their sheets, either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651247 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 06:42:14 +0000 blackbird 651247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We own....two? One stays in the closet and the other (the better one) just gets washed and put back on the bed. The same day. </p> <p>Pillowcase is smart! I've watched videos on how to fold fitted sheets and I just cannot do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651240 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 06:35:50 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 651240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: likewise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651231 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 06:24:55 +0000 matador84 651231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stick it in a pillowcase also do you can't see the messy fold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651226 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 06:16:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 651226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sort of fold it the Martha way but it still looks messy. But then I put that, the flat sheet, and one pillowcase in a stack and put it in the other pillow case so they all stay together and you can't see the messy fold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651220 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 06:12:38 +0000 MediaNaranja 651220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: This is my solution as well, hehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651215 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 06:06:23 +0000 Ocean girl 651215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no - I don't have time for that! I usually start out with good intentions, but end up with a lump of linens that is anything but "folded"! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651179 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 04:18:51 +0000 Penny Lane 651179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...a pain in the patootie!!! Like @Mrs Hedgehog: we only have one, so I don't need to fold it. Thank goodness!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651172 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 03:51:55 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 651172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wash, dry, and stick it back on the bed! We are bad and only have 1 fitted sheet at a time. We use it until we need a new one. Call me lazy. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651161 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 02:25:06 +0000 sylvie_b 651161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: ahhhhhh, I tried the same tutorial = FAIL.<br /> Fitted sheets are the bane of my existence, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651146 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 00:32:16 +0000 softcream 651146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a certain way of folding fitted sheets that i think is even better than martha's way. i know, bold statement. i've been meaning to blog it for like a year now, so maybe i'll get around to it some time this summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651136 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 00:15:41 +0000 anbanan15 651136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to google it, but I guess I fold them the Martha way!

Even though I get lazy sometimes, I still have to fold the corners in. IDK why... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fitted-sheets-are#post-651121 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 23:48:39 +0000 Boogs 651121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've just always wadded them up.

I literally just spent 15 minutes with a fitted sheet and Martha Stewart YouTube tutorial only to end up cussing at the sheet and throwing it in the linen closet rolled up. </p> <p>Do you know how to fold a fitted sheet ? </p>
