If you have a king size bed, I bet you have
run into this problem: which way is the correct way for the fitted sheet to
cover the mattress. The problem is that a king size bed is almost
square...almost, but not quite. That means that there is a correct way for the
sheet to go on, and an incorrect way. The correct way will reach corner to
corner side to side, and top to bottom...the incorrect way is that the sheet
will come up short from top to bottom. So you make your bed, and you may have
turn the sheet a few times just to see which way is correct.
Here is how I have solved the problem. Using a laundry marker, I find the correct way for the fitted sheet to fit, then I mark the bottom right corner with the marker. From then on, all I have to do is look for my mark, and put that corner in the bottom right. Voila! No more making and re-making because it is right the first time, every time.
Alternatively, you
could use colorful thread and sew your mark onto a corner. Choose which ever
corner you want to mark. For me, the bottom right was easiest because once the
blanket and bedspread is on, no one will see the mark but me. Also, one set of
my sheets happens to have a tag in the bottom right corner of the fitted sheet,
so I just stuck with that corner when marking my other sheet sets.
