How on earth do you properly fold fitted sheets?
No matter what I try, every time I fold a fitted sheet, it looks very sloppy. There seems to be no way to make it look neat. How do I go about folding it correctly?

Everybody knows how difficult it is to fold a fitted sheet without unsightly bunching at the corners. Martha Stewart offers simple steps to folding a fitted sheet into a perfect rectangle.
HOW TO FOLD YOUR FITTED SHEETS
Hold the sheet widthwise and point your index fingers into the corners of the sheet.
Bring your fingertips together and match them exactly.
Turn one of the sheet corners over the other.
Put the sheet on a flat surface.
Turn the corners on the bottom over.
Fold the sheet into a rectangle.
Continue to fold until the sheet is the size you want it to be. :)

With a bit of practice, Fold in half, then fold in half again but away from your body, some how they fold better this way. Now lay on your ironing board and push the corner´s inside .then iron. That´s one way of doing it. An easy way to practice is by putting your sheet on the bed, remove the sheet starting from the top pull it down to the bottom , then lift the other part of the sheet off, tuck in the corners. Lift the sheet & fold away from you , then fold again lay it back on the bed then fold , and fold again. Hope you understand. So by doing this a couple of times, When you come to iron them , It will be a piece off cake

omg, I wish I knew. I hate folding those %^&*$)@&* ! I usually wind up just kinda rolling them up and storing them in my linen closet. They're impossible to fold neatly.

I am entirely convinced that it is utterly impossible to do so. Just fold the thing in half a few times, and let the folds dangle.

I like to just store all my linens that go together (the top sheet/fitted/shams/pillowcase) in one of the matching pillowcases then no one has to see the ungodly mess I've made with the fitted sheets and everything stays together nice and neat.....
