I initially attempted to fold it on a large table - but wound up rolling with the flag on the floor. It was among the many undignified moments of my life.....<br />Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619128793632680659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8660581276521005822.post-88571394101547148002019-06-24T13:37:38.671-05:002019-06-24T13:37:38.671-05:00OMW, Jon … your description made me laugh out loud...OMW, Jon … your description made me laugh out loud. (No, I'm sure it wasn't one bit funny at the time.) Darn good analogy, comparing fitted sheets to plastic wrap. Frankly, I'm suspicious of those who profess to having mastered that 'art form.' One, in particular, and I suspect she has no life.

I decided it was an impossible task so bought non-iron ones. It meant I could sort-of fold them and store away until ready to use. I like your flag tale. I guess clean floors would help keep a flag clean... grinning here!

At least that's how I was trained to do it --two lengthwise folders, one on each end, and one triangle folder who works toward his/her partner. Your solution of single-handedly folding the flag on the ground when no one was around was considerate and respectful.Geo.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16221314320558128986noreply@blogger.com
