How To Fold Anything: Shirts, Towels, Sheets, Napkins
Didn't your mother ever teach you the correct way to fold a shirt?
I know, mine didn't either.
Chances are, if you've ever worked retail, then you've probably learned this quick trick to creating a perfect fold every time...

How To Fold Sheets
First, there's the Martha Stewart way of folding sheets. But I can never get it to work right (sometimes she can't either). It looks like she's revised her instructions for folding fitted sheets in this video from the editor of Real Simple magazine.
If you really want to fold fitted sheets in a jiffy, try the steps highlighted in this video. Yes, it is possible to fold fitted sheets better than Martha Stewart!

Hi, do you know how to fold a cracker napkin please. I wish to make some for my daughters wedding table and put confetti in them. Someone showed me how to do it once and I can not remember.
I'm new to this site and found it by searching for "folding towels" as I was actually never taught the correct way! Well, I've learned, but now I need to know how to fold everything else! As you may have guessed, I'm a guy! LOL HOWEVER, I'm also gay and we're supposed to KNOW these things! LOL AGAIN! Well, I'm joining and this, so far, appears to be the best site from google (on the 5th page of google, so I DID see quite a few other sites) Here's hoping I've found what I'm looking for!
Sincerely,
Shawn Collins
