Step 3 to 4 is where the witchcraft happens. If I put all the corners on top of one another all I get a ball if shit

It's wild that in my lifetime I've seen restofthefuckingowl become a reality. Maybe AI can fold my fitted sheets someday too.

It won't, but their share value will rise. No one will buy them.

I'm gonna get me one of those Jetson helper arms that just pop out of the sides of the dryer to do that shit for me.

I think they literally swap out the fitted sheet for a top sheet because how would everything be even and smooth when the top corner has so much more than the bottom corner

No it's 2 & 3, how the corners are stacked. The trick to stacking the corners: Start with any corner, note if it is inside or outside by checking the seam. Slide your other hand down an edge (doesn't matter which way). Put the next corner on top of the first one, inside to inside or outside to outside. Repeat until all corners are stacked.

My grandmother taught me how to do this, she learned it folding sheets for rich people where everything had to be neat and tidy.

Its really not that hard once you understand what you've got to do, and even half assing it you'll end up with something better than a balled up mess.

All steps matter. Once you have all 4 corners, put your finger tips from each hand together (like a prayer) at the corner point, and kinda flop the curvy bits over your forearms. Shake it to smooth it out and then lay it down. Treat the corner as the edge point, and make a rectangle with the curvy bits folded like pic 4.

nah steps 1-4 are easy. I've never been able to master step 5, mine all come out being folded round instead of square.

I saw this five years ago and go to number 3 each time and then it gets rolled into a ball. For I have no magic.

Doing 3 is the witchcraft. My mom folds fitted sheets this way and has tried to teach me, I get it about 10% of the time. Usually I end up with something twisted or wrong or a ball and I give up.
