You need to fold the fitted sheet carefully to create nice clean lines. I like taking a few seconds to create pointed corners out of my fitted sheet before I start folding; you can use the corner seams to find the corner, and flatten it out for a sharper corner than you’d usually get when you fold fitted sheets.<\/p>\n

You can do this method super quickly, but taking a second to press out the fabric nice and flat at each step to get a sharp line on the sides and less air (and loose fabric) in the middle will get you closer to a perfect rectangle than a quick fold will. One editor even uses an iron on her sheets to get them nice and flat.<\/p>\n

Also, cut yourself some slack! Keep in mind the fabric of the sheets that you’re folding. More structured sheets like percale can be a little easier to hold in place as you fold them, while softer sheets like bamboo and synthetic nylon can feel like you’re trying to make a shape out of water. Still, with a little patience you can get a pretty solid square shape, or square-enough if you’re impatient and still have six more sets of sheets to fold like I do.<\/p>\n
