Problem I'm having is king size fitted sheet made of relatively thick material, with elastic around the ENTIRE perimeter edge.  I can't seem to get it working like in this video, I think partly because of the material thickness, and partly because of the elastic the whole way 'round. None of the edges hang free like that. Any pointers?

These types of sheets will take a little more work but are still doable. First, folding them on a table will help and second you just have to find the four corners and tuck one inside the other. This is the main object. Once you do this. lay the sheet on the table to tweak it.

This is super helpful.. But did anyone other than me crack up with the opening sentence? "One of the biggest challenges you're gonna face in your life..." .. What? Yeah? Not college? Not marriage? Nope. Those are breeze, but folding that fitted sheet... Gosh.

If you watch it again, imagine she was joking, which is why she was kind of laughing when she said it. ;-) Funny how many people didn't get it! ;-)

First, I will say this is a piece of folding genius. Second of all, she said, with a straight face, "One of the biggest challenges you're gonna face in your life is how to fold a fitted sheet." Not sure that's true.

It was a joke! ;-) Although, judging by the number of views, it may be more true than we imagined! ;-)
