Witch Hazel said she'd fly if I brought her a rabbit.

Forget it.
Just roll it in a ball and call it good enough for storage.
You can always de-wrinkle fluff in dryer before using.IP: Logged |

There's a neat trick to it. My mum made them fold like square sheets and she would have them in her linen cupboard in neat little squares... bless her.But I shove them in my cupboard these days. IP: Logged |

My mother "showed" me how to do it. I told her to let me do it, but walk me through it. I can't learn complicated sorcery like this without using my own hands. Instead she just did it herself.  When it came to doing my own sheet, it ended up in a kind of folded-ball-hybrid-mess. IP: Logged |

I have come to the conclusion that fitted sheets were designed by Scorpio to freak out Virgos and Cancers.There's no way they can be folded into a symmetrical shape and that upsets Virgos sense of spacial balance and straight line symmetry...not to mention the problem of no 90* corners in the folded sheet. It's as bad for Cancers who prize their homes and housekeeping. Their home IS their castle and it's horrifying for them to look in their linen closets and behold what looks like crumpled up pieces of rags that they can't straighten out. I don't know what Virgo and Cancer did to Scorpio? I know there must be a way to fold these fitted sheets into rectangles but I've spent enough time trying...Mercury in Virgo. Now, I do what everyone else does. Hide the crumpled up fitted sheet under the nicely folded top sheet so I don't have to look at it every time I open the linen closet! IP: Logged |

I actually have a really good system usually. I keep a rotation of two sets of sheets; when I wash one, instead of folding it, I just put it on my bed and throw the old sheets in the dirty laundry. When I wash the dirty sheets, they go back on my bed, etc. My system got disrupted this past time, hence my befuddlement. IP: Logged |

Hey, good for you.  That won't work for me though.  I never know what I'm going to be in the mood for when it's time to change sheet sets so I keep a variety ready to go...Bears, Birds, Lions, Stars, Rainbows or my personal favorites...Duckies! IP: Logged |
