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
My mom had a Mogan David wine bottle that she used for sprinkle her ironing? :-D I got to do the pillow cases and hankerchiefs.

So do I! Thought I might be the only one left with a clothesline in my backyard. My neighbors think I'm loony.

I am so excited..I watched the video that Cottage Dee posted..and when I fold my sheets...thats how I do mine. So I am actually doing something right. ha ha ha. I normally just take my sheets off..wash..dry...and right back on the bed. As I love that nice fresh smell and if they are placed in the closet, by the time I use them, that awesome smell is gone.

yup, I fold them and swap out sets just about every time I change the bed. I just LOVE "fresh sheet night"! I admit to not doing a great job with the fitted one, so now I'm off to watch the video.

My SIL still irons her sheets. When I do laundry for her, I tell her that I'm a good SIL, but NOT that good! She has to suffer with un-ironed. LOL!

Edditted to say:....cool, thats how I do them, just not as neatly as he does...but did ya'll notice the quilt on the bed??

I like to fold them right out of the dryer. I worked in a retail linen store for six years. Part of my job was to repackage opened and returned items.

Believe it or not Bluteddy there are people who don't fold laundry.I help my Aunt clean her house The first time I opened her linen closet I had one of those mini-strokes as it all avalanched on top of me.She wollered things into balls and pushed it in I was horrified by the mess I spent hours folding and arranging and pitching things On her next laundry day I was there to show her how easy it is to fold sheets into sets for easy stacking I can't imagine getting into a bed where the sheets are all crinkled and wrinkled

Nope! I take them out of the dryer and put them right back on my bed.
