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

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.
