- Folding fitted sheets requires patience and practice.
- Fitted sheets are designed with elastic to stay on mattresses, unlike flat sheets which can slip off.
- The guide provides a step-by-step method to fold fitted sheets by first turning them into a quarter sheet with all corners aligned.
- A common mistake is trying to fold corners one at a time, which can lead to tangles with modern sheets that have elastic all around.
- Historical context reveals that fitted sheets have evolved over 80 years, with elastic being a later addition.
- The guide includes illustrations and tips to make the folding process easier and more efficient.
- Professional sheet handlers often work in pairs to fold sheets quickly, but the guide focuses on solo methods.
- The final folded sheet should be a compact, rectangular bundle suitable for storage.
