Yup. The others are the classic "I know how to do it, watch me". This is "let me teach you". That "U" image will be with me forever. The rest I can derive on my own. He could have shaved 90 seconds off the front, though. That was ego. The 6:27 run time almost kept me from clicking.
Thank you James! I’m a PhD in Physics. I’ve been trying to fold fitted sheets from other TH-cam’s and can never remember it from one time to the next. But your “U” and doing it backwards broke through too me. I think I will remember this for the rest of my life. Thanks again.
If you are a Man (especially a Nerd Man), Then this is the fitted sheet fold video for you! 🫡 I have spent over three hours watching TH-cam videos (with a lot of well meaning women, and a few guys pretending to be guys) and I watched most of them multiple times. I was frustrated enough to have just burned my bedding out on the back porch! 🔥🔥🔥 This guy knows how to do it, knows how to show you how to FIGURE IT OUT, and explains it all in perfect Man-Speak! I only watched this video ONCE, and I was able to nail it! 😱 Mate, if you’re ever up in the Green Bay, Wisconsin (USA) area, I owe you a pint! 😉👍
By an order of magnitude, this is by far the BEST fitted sheet folding video I’ve seen - and I’ve watched A LOT of them! Thanks to the Math Guy for making it SIMPLE!!!
The explanation of the u-shape (and you spending several moments just showing us where you were holding your hands) finally got the concept through to me. Thanks.
Watched 5 videos, all of them are like, "Okay ready? Take one hand, move it here, and WOW, a perfectly folded sheet!" "WHAT?!?!?!" Thanks bro, this helped out TREMENDOUSLY!
I can fix a welding machine from bits and bolts to full power! But can I fold a fitted sheet? Thanks to James, and his teaching brain, his light and happy attitude, and the encouragement factor of 11 yes. I can now fold a fitted sheet. I scrolled through Nana's videos, rifled through Grandma's brain but none of them landed a successful lesson like James here. Once again, a math teacher has changed my life!
Sheer congratulations. Very bright. Great way of thinking: 1 Start from the end, and go backwards, 2. Show crucial intermediate steps (u shape). 1. and 2. may be very useful to explain how to do many other things, not only how to fold fitted sheet, almost everything actually. This is revolutionary.
You with your humor and way of explaining have made how to fold a fitted easy to see how it’s done and why sometimes I succeed and sometimes not. Thank you. By the way it’s only taken me 73 years lol. Glad I found your video. I think your video and instructions I will remember
Brilliant! My Grandmother tried to teach me, 50+ yrs ago. My mother tried forty years ago, as I was leaving the nest. Since then, I just kind of fold them in half a couple of times and stuff them in my linen closet. Retired now, so I have the time to learn. TH-cam has too many videos on folding fitted sheets. THIS VIDEO should be your go-to. Easy to follow: U-shape> Half> 3rds> 3rds = Brilliant! Thanks, James
You made this so easy I did it on my first try! Finally someone smart enough to think like a first timer and break down the steps slowly and descriptive enough so even the most spatially challenged could understand. Thank you for not making me feel like an idiot!
Thank you for this public service. I went through half a dozen videos that all were “do a, then b, then c, turn it over and you’ve got a perfectly folded sheet” but without any explanation of the logic of it and we’re impossible to follow/replicate. This was so helpful!
This is literally the only one of 4 videos that helped. I had to watch it twice, but I eventually got it. Thanks James, you've been saving people's folding abilities since 2016
I am 58 and you have just saved my life!! You took a process, that appeared in "TA DA" magic videos and presented it logically, where all the pieces have their place. Learn the design. That was masterful. Thank you!
WTF why didn't I start with searching for a mathematicians answer to this problem?! Now all I need is some motivation to change my sheets and I'm golden.
Finally a man explaining it in a logical manner - mastered it first try after watching this versus of all the times I tried watching Martha Stewart and all the other women experts. Thank you kind sir!!
I don’t know how many videos I watched before I found yours. At one point I ended up tangled in a straight jacket. Yours made perfect sense and I folded the sheet properly on the first attempt. Well done!
Just coz he said terms like reverse engineering and he said he was going to use mathematics you fell for his spiel. I guess all the guys who liked this video are now the go to guy for folding fitted sheets in the household.
Oh my goodness, this was me - I googled how to fold fitted sheets and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS was stumped after ‘fold the first two corners in’! After seeing your video, it made complete sense once I visualised the ‘U’ shape first. I will never forget how to do it now because of your super simple method. Thank you so much, forever grateful! 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
a BIG thank you for sharing. I've watched like 4 videos on how to fold fitted sheet, but no one has explained it than how you did. love your work! thanks again
Watched 3 other videos (several times each by the way), worked for them, not for me. Was ready to give up and your video played while is was fumbling with the sheet. Said to myself, "that is a man teaching how to fold a fitted sheet, lets give it a try". 60 seconds after watching your video I was sitting there PROUD of my FOLDED fitted sheet!!! Great video, Thanks
Literally the only video that resulted in me actually folding a freaking fitted sheet!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable how excited I got when I finally got it!! (It's the small things in life) Thank you sir!!!!
Oh thank goodness!! This has bugged me for years 😫. All the videos I’ve watched tucked all 4 corners together and all I achieved was a lumpy mess. Not a major issue in the scheme of things I know but if there’s a tidy way to do something I damn well want to do it. Thanks James.
Thank you so much lmao I'm 26 years old and I e watched numerous how to videos and yours was the only one I was actually able to successfully fold a fitted sheet twice. Thanks so much my grandmother would be so proud. I'm so proud of myself lmao 20 years later
I just finished folding my first four fitted sheets finally at age 73! "This was the video that did the trick!" Thank you. I'm not a mathematician but a did get a 780 in Math on my SATs!
THANK YOU! I watched over 10 videos before getting to this one and this is the ONLY one that helped me finish the fold, the second half always lost me until I found this video!!
Hi James, I must have watched umpteen women & men go on about how to fold a fitted sheet and like yourself the beginning of the task looked promising. Then I'd fall behind not long after that I'd think, why can't anybody have a video that is relatable?? Then I came upon a video where a guy named James showed me how to fold a fitted sheet. Ahhh, finally someone whom I understand and can follow along without getting lost! Oh the joy, thank you so very much. I do enjoy it when I conquer a problem. I'll be sure to have a look at your other videos‼️
I've worked with James at the Mathematical Association of America. He is a delight. I loved finding this video of him working out the fitted sheet folding math.
The only one that actually helped me figure things out. I kept feeling nuts that I couldn't fold one that everyone was doing. But, until I saw yours, I couldn't figure it out
Thank you James! The way you explained it was very helpful. The reverse engineering you showed on the flat surface of the table, the 3 x 3 x 2 folds you demonstrated and the elastic "U" shape made perfect sense. Your scholarly advice made something I have been struggling to understand through multiple other youtube instructors extremely easy. At last, your instruction helped me with my first successful fold... and it makes so much sense! Thank you James. This has been the best and most educational video I have seen on youtube. I can see it now, my new pickup line will be, "Here! I can see a solution to your problem/s, and so let me fold that for you...". Cheers Bro! I can't wait for the sequel "How to Fold a Fitted Sheet 2 - from a Math Guy".
This way is so much easier then the other two ways I was shown. One I got lost so that didn't help me the other i could do bug I kept forgetting how to do it when it was time to fold my fitted sheet. This way I won't forget. Thank you mates guy for the easiest way to fold fitted sheets yet.
This is the first fitted sheet folding video - and I've been through a TON - that I actually understood and retained. Thank you, James. I'm so happy I found someone who could speak my language.
Finally, someone who explained what to look for, the u shape. It still took me a while to get it but now I know the 1st goal is the u shape and from there it makes sense. Thank you!
Oh wow! this is the best! I have watched other videos as well and got completely lost. I was determined to learn how to do this and came across your video today. With your help, I folded my first fitted sheet! New year, new skill. Thank you so much!
THANK YOU! I've also watched a bunch of "How to Fold a Fitted Sheet" videos and got stuck in the middle! Thank you for helping me to extricate myself! It doesn't really matter to me if the sheet is folded beautifully, but there is some satisfaction when it doesn't look like a crumpled mess. I appreciate your mathematical angle 😁
I watched 3-4 videos last night and stumbled poorly through. Later that night I saw one that happened to show that key view without calling special attention to it, and it helped immensely! I knew as soon as I saw yours in the feed that this was the one to really teach it. (and still under 7 minutes!)
YES! I looked at several videos - no go. I’ve failed every math class I’ve been in BUT I’m an artist. Geometrical SHAPES and I get along. You are absolutely right. The “U” shape is the key. When I saw the “U” the rest fell into place. Thank you and God for this video. It’s the ONLY one I’ve been able to follow!
Thank YOU James. Like you I tried countless videos on how to fold a fitted sheet and got lost UNTIL YOUR VIDEO. Reverse engineering the folded version completely got me to fold the dang sheet! Bless you!!! 😉👍🏽🎉
He has saved me from giving up on folding fitted sheets. My wife has given up on it so I took on the challenge. This was the best ever demo of folding a fitted sheet and I got a lot of laughs along the way. Thank you!
Holy Sh*t dude....your video actually worked and I now have a perfect fitted sheet! I watched 10 videos and didn't get it....your video made it clear after I saw the "U Shape" in my fitted sheet. So freakin awesome!!!
Like you, sir.... all the videos lost me after they pinched the first corners. Yours is the only video that truly showed me how to fold the fitted sheet... signed, an engineer.. thank you!
Looking at the comments, I'm happy to have found this video at 27. I won't lie tho, I was sweating as I tried it out. Was successful on the first try. Thank you James.
Best explanation on TH-cam! I was in the same boat as James with being confused by other videos. They don't really explain or show the steps once they get to "fold this corner over." Watched this once and instantly it clicked. You rock!
After 4 vidoes I found yours, but only after frustration of the others that made no damn sense, I laid it on my bed thinking, that corner fold, over fold, over fold, over fold was too much, and came up through grit, common sense and ingenuity.. The same fold you did! Thanks so much!
Thank you, James!!! I, too, have watched the videos and was left sooooo frustrated. Thanks for breaking it down bit by bit. I now have a beautifully folded sheet. Whew! :~)
The problem with the other videos is that you have people who know how to do it and they have forgotten what it’s like to not be able to do it. So they talk you through a couple of steps and assume that they’re actually explaining everything because they understand what they are doing, meanwhile, some things are left incomprehensible to those who don't understand the process. As an educator, you have bypassed this blunder. I also know to avoid that mistake because I have taught people guitar and have learned to put myself in the mindset of someone who doesn’t know what I know. Yours is the best tutorial on how to fold a fitted sheet that I'm aware of.
I watched another video before this and it was impossible to figure out. It wasn’t until you showed me the opening of a new package and I saw it folded in half and I was like dang, ding ding! I had my sheet folded before you even finished your video. Thank you so much.
I kept pausing other videos (with my hands twisted in the sheet!) and always got lost within the first 20 seconds. You gave me a way to THINK about the process that I won't forget - thanks!
Thank you James I finally got it with your video and the U shape. I’ve watched so many video’s before your’s and would not click. I appreciate your time and effort in doing this.
James...I did it! I watched and rewatched videos on how to fold a fitted sheet. I was exasperated. Why couldn’t I understand the steps? I’ll tell you why...I hadn’t watched your video yet! Thank you so much for breaking down the process. Don’t tell Martha but you’re the jam when it comes to folding fitted sheets.
I love math. This was sooo easy and well explained. I was always annoyed cuz I hated to fold these sheets. I have passed this test 6 times by folding all my 6 sets. Thank you.
You made more sense than any video I have seen (and boy - I have struggled). Your way is so simple to follow; I which I could show you what I've accomplished just watching and following you. Thank you very much. 💞
100%. All those old ladies telling me to grab all 4 corners and magically have a square when it was some weird trapezoid has to throwing the sheet in the closet in a ball. This worked so much better ❤❤❤
Hey thank you very much I have watched alot of videos on how to fold a fitted sheet and they made no sense. I watched your video just once and figured it out. You are the boss. If you were my math teacher I would of passed math.
I love your semi-70's yet modern cabin-esque decor. It's so hip it's a popular style in the Design Home game I loved playing and miss heaps, got too expensive to play hehehe but it's great to see your stylish place. Thanks also for the sheet folding tips
Like you I got lost after the first step because every video just sped past what I needed to do in a way I didn't understand. Thanks for the help! My crib sheets will now be easy to find amongst my other sheets.
I’m hopeless! Such a good demonstration. I thought I finally had it. I’ve watched this guy repeatedly (after already viewing 6 or 7 others🤣). He’s really good. I just can’t do this. I give up!
I wanted to surprise my wife by folding all the sheets as I know she's given up following videos and hates it, was utterly shocked that there were so many videos that all went into the same confusing mess after "fold this corner over that"... I even watched them at half speed and still couldn't work out what they were doing as they said descriptively "now that there and that there and stuff it up there" - what?! I actually started to lose hope until I found this video, then nailed it first time and feel like I get it now, honestly thank you so much! I was starting to feel there was some kind of magic circle nonesense going on for laundry where once you know you never teach others, just descend into mumbling and do it with slight of hand to make them think you told them and they were too dumb to get it
DO NOT watch any other videos. This is the only one that CLEARLY explains what to do without all the smoke and mirrors! Thank you 🙏
You weren't kidding. The other tutorials are trash compared to this guy's.
agreed
Yep, the best!!
Nerd Man Speak
For The WIN !!!
Yup. The others are the classic "I know how to do it, watch me".
This is "let me teach you". That "U" image will be with me forever. The rest I can derive on my own.
He could have shaved 90 seconds off the front, though. That was ego. The 6:27 run time almost kept me from clicking.
Thank you James! I’m a PhD in Physics. I’ve been trying to fold fitted sheets from other TH-cam’s and can never remember it from one time to the next. But your “U” and doing it backwards broke through too me. I think I will remember this for the rest of my life. Thanks again.
Me too
If you are a Man
(especially a Nerd Man),
Then this is the fitted sheet fold video for you! 🫡
I have spent over three hours watching TH-cam videos (with a lot of well meaning women, and a few guys pretending to be guys) and I watched most of them multiple times. I was frustrated enough to have just burned my bedding out on the back porch! 🔥🔥🔥
This guy knows how to do it, knows how to show you how to FIGURE IT OUT, and explains it all in perfect Man-Speak!
I only watched this video ONCE, and I was able to nail it! 😱
Mate, if you’re ever up in the Green Bay, Wisconsin (USA) area, I owe you a pint! 😉👍
I can’t believe I’ve lived four decades without this knowledge. Thank you, math guy.
I'm laughing at that. I've lived 7 decades without knowing😢. Thank you math guy❤
I watched 4 videos before this one. Thanks to The Math Guy I can finally fold a fitted sheet! Only took me 44 years to learn!
You win! It took me 53yrs
How about 76 years !!!
By an order of magnitude, this is by far the BEST fitted sheet folding video I’ve seen - and I’ve watched A LOT of them! Thanks to the Math Guy for making it SIMPLE!!!
The explanation of the u-shape (and you spending several moments just showing us where you were holding your hands) finally got the concept through to me. Thanks.
U can do it!!
Watched 5 videos, all of them are like, "Okay ready? Take one hand, move it here, and WOW, a perfectly folded sheet!" "WHAT?!?!?!" Thanks bro, this helped out TREMENDOUSLY!
Right I get a headache
You, my friend, are a GENIUS. Not that you folded the fitted sheet neatly, but that you showed how to do it without losing me !!! Thank you !!
Who disliked this video? This is, by far, the best explanation I've seen.
I can fix a welding machine from bits and bolts to full power! But can I fold a fitted sheet?
Thanks to James, and his teaching brain, his light and happy attitude, and the encouragement factor of 11 yes. I can now fold a fitted sheet.
I scrolled through Nana's videos, rifled through Grandma's brain but none of them landed a successful lesson like James here.
Once again, a math teacher has changed my life!
Wow, This is the best folded sheet demonstration so far, Thanks
Sheer congratulations. Very bright. Great way of thinking: 1 Start from the end, and go backwards, 2. Show crucial intermediate steps (u shape). 1. and 2. may be very useful to explain how to do many other things, not only how to fold fitted sheet, almost everything actually. This is revolutionary.
Wow! What a deeply analytical and on mark comment. Thanks!
You with your humor and way of explaining have made how to fold a fitted easy to see how it’s done and why sometimes I succeed and sometimes not. Thank you. By the way it’s only taken me 73 years lol. Glad I found your video. I think your video and instructions I will remember
Finally at 50 I can fold a fitted sheet! My wife couldn’t believe it! Excellent instructions…thank you. Now I’ve got about 30 of them to fold 😂
This is the best video. I finally got it after 61 years!!!! thank you so much
Brilliant! My Grandmother tried to teach me, 50+ yrs ago. My mother tried forty years ago, as I was leaving the nest. Since then, I just kind of fold them in half a couple of times and stuff them in my linen closet. Retired now, so I have the time to learn. TH-cam has too many videos on folding fitted sheets. THIS VIDEO should be your go-to. Easy to follow: U-shape> Half> 3rds> 3rds = Brilliant! Thanks, James
You made this so easy I did it on my first try! Finally someone smart enough to think like a first timer and break down the steps slowly and descriptive enough so even the most spatially challenged could understand. Thank you for not making me feel like an idiot!
Thank you for this public service. I went through half a dozen videos that all were “do a, then b, then c, turn it over and you’ve got a perfectly folded sheet” but without any explanation of the logic of it and we’re impossible to follow/replicate. This was so helpful!
This is literally the only one of 4 videos that helped. I had to watch it twice, but I eventually got it. Thanks James, you've been saving people's folding abilities since 2016
FINALLY - a demo that explains all steps clearly. Thanks James.
I am 58 and you have just saved my life!! You took a process, that appeared in "TA DA" magic videos and presented it logically, where all the pieces have their place. Learn the design. That was masterful. Thank you!
I watched at least 5 videos and I finally got it after 31 years! Than you so much for your video!
The best video ever for showing how to fold a fitted sheet!
Best one yet. He's smart, good looking, has the right attitude, and I understand.
WTF why didn't I start with searching for a mathematicians answer to this problem?!
Now all I need is some motivation to change my sheets and I'm golden.
This is by far the best fitted sheet folding video. Thank-you Mr. Tanton.
OMG!!! I can finally see it CLEARLY! This is the best fitted sheet video ever made! Thank you so much!
Finally a man explaining it in a logical manner - mastered it first try after watching this versus of all the times I tried watching Martha Stewart and all the other women experts. Thank you kind sir!!
I don’t know how many videos I watched before I found yours. At one point I ended up tangled in a straight jacket. Yours made perfect sense and I folded the sheet properly on the first attempt. Well done!
Watched 6 or 7 women demonstrate how to fold videos and this is the one that I understood. Thank you James!!
same for me, gues males and females realy speak different languages
Just coz he said terms like reverse engineering and he said he was going to use mathematics you fell for his spiel. I guess all the guys who liked this video are now the go to guy for folding fitted sheets in the household.
You are simply lovely. Appreciate you using the Merlin principle
I love this guy. He’s a hell of a good teacher!
Something so simple and other TH-camrs act as it's rocket science & confuses ppl😂 great job 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾✌️🏾
Oh my goodness, this was me - I googled how to fold fitted sheets and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS was stumped after ‘fold the first two corners in’! After seeing your video, it made complete sense once I visualised the ‘U’ shape first. I will never forget how to do it now because of your super simple method. Thank you so much, forever grateful! 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
Absolutely brilliant. I always had the same problem. Got the first two corners then every nice lady failed to explain after that point. Thank you
a BIG thank you for sharing. I've watched like 4 videos on how to fold fitted sheet, but no one has explained it than how you did. love your work! thanks again
Watched 3 other videos (several times each by the way), worked for them, not for me. Was ready to give up and your video played while is was fumbling with the sheet. Said to myself, "that is a man teaching how to fold a fitted sheet, lets give it a try". 60 seconds after watching your video I was sitting there PROUD of my FOLDED fitted sheet!!! Great video, Thanks
Here's is proof of the reason why I always loved math and logic. Thank you!!
your passion for folding a fitted sheet is SO FUNNY! this video is amazing
Literally the only video that resulted in me actually folding a freaking fitted sheet!!!!!!!!! Unbelievable how excited I got when I finally got it!! (It's the small things in life) Thank you sir!!!!
Perfect! Your description of getting lost in the middle was spot on. Thank you sooo much for fixing this for all of us.
Oh thank goodness!! This has bugged me for years 😫. All the videos I’ve watched tucked all 4 corners together and all I achieved was a lumpy mess. Not a major issue in the scheme of things I know but if there’s a tidy way to do something I damn well want to do it. Thanks James.
Thank you so much lmao I'm 26 years old and I e watched numerous how to videos and yours was the only one I was actually able to successfully fold a fitted sheet twice. Thanks so much my grandmother would be so proud. I'm so proud of myself lmao 20 years later
Oh my GOD !! I watched your video and it was so awesome. Folded my first fitted sheet today. !!!!! Thank You Brother!!!!
I just finished folding my first four fitted sheets finally at age 73! "This was the video that did the trick!" Thank you. I'm not a mathematician but a did get a 780 in Math on my SATs!
Wow! Thanks maths guy, worked perfectly and EASY to follow instructions too
THANK YOU! I watched over 10 videos before getting to this one and this is the ONLY one that helped me finish the fold, the second half always lost me until I found this video!!
Hi James, I must have watched umpteen women & men go on about how to fold a fitted sheet

the task looked promising. Then I'd fall behind not long after that
I'd think, why can't anybody have a video that is relatable?? Then

I've worked with James at the Mathematical Association of America. He is a delight. I loved finding this video of him working out the fitted sheet folding math.
Seriously, this is the only video that made sense of this task. Thanks!
Thank you James! This is the only video that truly showed me how to fold the infamous fitted sheets! :)
The only one that actually helped me figure things out. I kept feeling nuts that I couldn't fold one that everyone was doing. But, until I saw yours, I couldn't figure it out
I LOVE YOUUUUUU!!!! I watched so many videos and failed over and over again. Your video finally made it clear for me :D Thank you I folded it!!!

2 3 3 is the correct order in folding it, nice 👌 video
This way is so much easier then the other two ways I was shown. One I got lost so that didn't help me the other i could do bug I kept forgetting how to do it when it was time to fold my fitted sheet. This way I won't forget. Thank you mates guy for the easiest way to fold fitted sheets yet.
This is the first fitted sheet folding video - and I've been through a TON - that I actually understood and retained. Thank you, James. I'm so happy I found someone who could speak my language.
Wow, I'm absolutely astonished as to how simple you made it after watching 10 other videos. Thanks for sharing a different way of problem solving.
Dude thank you, your video is the only one I could follow to get it to turn out right. 🤘🏻
The other videos show this way too fast! I love how you take the time to let us learn this. Great technique! Thank you so much!
Finally, someone who explained what to look for, the u shape. It still took me a while to get it but now I know the 1st goal is the u shape and from there it makes sense. Thank you!
Oh wow! this is the best! I have watched other videos as well and got completely lost. I was determined to learn how to do this and came across your video today. With your help, I folded my first fitted sheet! New year, new skill. Thank you so much!

Holy Sh*t dude....your video actually worked and I now have a perfect fitted sheet! I watched 10 videos and didn't get it....your video made it clear after I saw the "U Shape" in my fitted sheet. So freakin awesome!!!
Best demonstration ever on how to fold a fitted sheet. I’ll never forget it. Thanks so much!
I’m a scientist and this is the most logical fitted sheet video I watched. Thank you for making it make sense!!!
Like you, sir.... all the videos lost me after they pinched the first corners. Yours is the only video that truly showed me how to fold the fitted sheet... signed, an engineer.. thank you!
Thanks to you. You are the best fitted sheet folder I have seen in a very long time. Simple, nice and easy.
Man I am in love with you! The ‘U’ shape is the secret! It was so simple all along. THANK YOU.
Looking at the comments, I'm happy to have found this video at 27. I won't lie tho, I was sweating as I tried it out. Was successful on the first try. Thank you James.
Best explanation on TH-cam! I was in the same boat as James with being confused by other videos. They don't really explain or show the steps once they get to "fold this corner over." Watched this once and instantly it clicked. You rock!

at a fraction of the views of those other "how to" vids out there, THIS one finally got me to figure it out.
bless you.
Finally, someone explained it step by step! Wish I'd have had you as my math teacher, you're so enthusiastic! Thanks!
Thank you, James!!! I, too, have watched the videos and was left sooooo frustrated. Thanks for breaking it down bit by bit. I now have a beautifully folded sheet. Whew! :~)
By far this has to be the BEST description of how to fold a fitted sheet. Many, many thanks!
Watched 4 videos but with no success, finally I know how to fold a fitted sheet!!! Thanks Math Guy, it is sooooooo easy.
Nailed it. I watched numerous videos and always got lost, like you did. I am an engineer maybe that explains it. GREAT JOB!
The problem with the other videos is that you have people who know how to do it and they have forgotten what it’s like to not be able to do it. So they talk you through a couple of steps and assume that they’re actually explaining everything because they understand what they are doing, meanwhile, some things are left incomprehensible to those who don't understand the process. As an educator, you have bypassed this blunder. I also know to avoid that mistake because I have taught people guitar and have learned to put myself in the mindset of someone who doesn’t know what I know. Yours is the best tutorial on how to fold a fitted sheet that I'm aware of.
Going by the spotlessness of your home, I imagine you’re a master at everything there.
I watched another video before this and it was impossible to figure out. It wasn’t until you showed me the opening of a new package and I saw it folded in half and I was like dang, ding ding! I had my sheet folded before you even finished your video. Thank you so much.
Yay. Actually works first time. Bit more difficult with a super king as you need longer arms, but this is the best video I've seen. Thanks
I kept pausing other videos (with my hands twisted in the sheet!) and always got lost within the first 20 seconds. You gave me a way to THINK about the process that I won't forget - thanks!
Thank you for actually showing how to do this instead of tossing the sheet all over the place and expecting people to know what's going on.
Thank you James I finally got it with your video and the U shape. I’ve watched so many video’s before your’s and would not click. I appreciate your time and effort in doing this.
I did it!!! Thank you for explaining this!! For me now, folding fitted sheets is no longer a problem.
Kick ass! Martha Stewart's clip got me to the "U" part but this clip took it home.
James...I did it! I watched and rewatched videos on how to fold a fitted sheet. I was exasperated. Why couldn’t I understand the steps? I’ll tell you why...I hadn’t watched your video yet! Thank you so much for breaking down the process. Don’t tell Martha but you’re the jam when it comes to folding fitted sheets.
Thank you James! I too watched several videos and could not figure out how to fold the four corners. Then, TA DA! You saved the day.
Thanks James, it seems so simple now, demonstrated beautifully , sheets successfully folded while my wife is away.
I love math. This was sooo easy and well explained. I was always annoyed cuz I hated to fold these sheets. I have passed this test 6 times by folding all my 6 sets. Thank you.
Thank you James!! You just taught me - FINALLY AT 72 YRS OLD - how to fold a fitted sheet! ❤
You made more sense than any video I have seen (and boy - I have struggled). Your way is so simple to follow; I which I could show you what I've accomplished just watching and following you. Thank you very much. 💞
100%. All those old ladies telling me to grab all 4 corners and magically have a square when it was some weird trapezoid has to throwing the sheet in the closet in a ball. This worked so much better ❤❤❤
Hey thank you very much I have watched alot of videos on how to fold a fitted sheet and they made no sense. I watched your video just once and figured it out. You are the boss. If you were my math teacher I would of passed math.
I love your semi-70's yet modern cabin-esque decor. It's so hip it's a popular style in the Design Home game I loved playing and miss heaps, got too expensive to play hehehe but it's great to see your stylish place. Thanks also for the sheet folding tips
Like you I got lost after the first step because every video just sped past what I needed to do in a way I didn't understand. Thanks for the help! My crib sheets will now be easy to find amongst my other sheets.
I’m hopeless! Such a good demonstration. I thought I finally had it. I’ve watched this guy repeatedly (after already viewing 6 or 7 others🤣). He’s really good. I just can’t do this. I give up!
I wanted to surprise my wife by folding all the sheets as I know she's given up following videos and hates it, was utterly shocked that there were so many videos that all went into the same confusing mess after "fold this corner over that"... I even watched them at half speed and still couldn't work out what they were doing as they said descriptively "now that there and that there and stuff it up there" - what?!
I actually started to lose hope until I found this video, then nailed it first time and feel like I get it now, honestly thank you so much! I was starting to feel there was some kind of magic circle nonesense going on for laundry where once you know you never teach others, just descend into mumbling and do it with slight of hand to make them think you told them and they were too dumb to get it
Couldn't have said it better!
