Ditto here. All that folding is work...I skip it and put it right back on the bed.

I can fold the fitted sheets, but I use your method most, wash, dry, and put them back on the bed!!!

My Nana taught me this way. Also, I fold the top sheet, lay the fitted one inside that with the pillow cases on it and do the last top sheet fold over. One package for the shelf.

Me too. I worked couple summers ages ago at a resort and that is how we folded the fitted sheets on laundry day. Seemed like hundreds of sheets at the time.
PSCOTT392, your kitty avatar looks just like our Annie kitty. Very cute!
