I fold only when changing for seasons otherwise I just pull them from the dryer and put right back on the bed most of the time. Sometimes I do need to go for a color change though ;-)

Yes, but my I don't do well with the fitted ones.

My Grandmother ironed sheets too. She ironed everything! I remember the bottle she used with the holes poked on top of it. She'd be appalled to know I just hang my jeans up when they come out of the dryer and wear them un-ironed :shock: :-P

Yes, I fold my sheets.

granny used a bottle had water in it an she would sprinkle water on what ever she ironed. Simpler times i guess

Great idea. Why didn't I think of that.

Yep, I fold and place in pillow case.

I like to put them right back on the bed out of the dryer! or off the clothesline now the weather is good

Yep I. Fold and pillowcase them too! Learned easiest way to fold fitted sheets from Martha Stewart.

My sheets get folded. I never knew there was another way..

Folding helps keep the wrinkles at bay besides keeping the sheets on the shelf... you don't have to duck when opening the linen closet.

I fold and put in pillowcase also. See if I can explain this way of folding the fitted sheets - take the two shorter ends (top & bottom) and tuck one end inside the other; then fold the sides in to make a rectangle and then fold as usual. Make any sense?
