Rue be the day if things weren't done my Mom's way growing up. It was the one and only way. Period.
So that's how I learned. Several houses I have lived in as an adult there have been either small closet shelves or kitchen like cabinets for linens and towels. I've always folded them neatly. With a family of five nothing would fit if I didn't. Never minded folding them.

I don't iron, but I do fold (like the video) match with other pieces and store in the pillow case.
I hate the feel of wrinkles in my sheets...DH says I am nuerotic, but as long as he doesn't have to do the folding he is ok with it. ;-)

I worked as a maid when I was a teenager and had to do all the bedding laundry. I was taught to match the corners and stick one inside the other. then fold that so the top is straight across with the corners turned under then fold in half long ways and then fold in half width ways and continue til you have it controlled and the size you want it to be. After you do dozens of them every day it is easy to do. I don't like wadding as they want to fall out and make everything else fall out.
This need to fold is also a part of my eye's need for geometrical shapes which is what my quilting does to me. I see everything in shapes and they have to be square or straight lines or it drives me crazy!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
