oh, Grasshopper, you must learn to "wax on" and then we will move on to "clothes organization".:D

holy crap, that's amazing! I'm gonna go practice. I wonder if it works for long-sleeved stuff.

I have literally every piece of clothing on hangers because I suck so badly at folding... ack.

What is she doing with her left hand? Looks like she slides it back from the intial spot then grabs again? Too bad my Japanese is rusty:)

practice....my friends!!!

=)

That's amazing! I am constantly bugged about how I can do so many things (rebuild cars, fly airplanes, design buildings) but have no ability to fold a shirt! My wife just laughs at me. Mastering THAT technique will bring balance to my world.

I tried that one guys, actually works quite well and cuts shirt folding time in half.. Plus now I can do it the way my wife likes instead of the half/half fold... :) Wait, did I just screw myself?

bryanthompson 11-26-2004 09:21 AM

I'm missing a step somewhere... Need to get the girlfriend to show me what I'm doing wrong in there. The back of the shirt always ends up on the front side, like up by the collar. I think it's in the flip-turn that she does, I can't match it.

Does anybody know how to IRON....and SEW.....????

bigyagi 11-26-2004 09:36 AM

yeah, pretty good. i learned the proper way to fold my clothes, to a particular size, and also make my bed/fold sheets properly. if you got it wrong, all your clothes and bedding were thrown all over the place, and you had to start again! , but dont get it wrong a second time, or you were really in deep water. but thats the navy for you!!

Iron, sew, fold...all that crap. You'd be amazed at the manliness that you can bring to even the most "girly" project.

Most popular is to sew a West Coast Choppers patch onto anythingI make, if I think one of my buddies might give me a hard time about it.

Think she worked in a sweat shop? :D

woodman 11-26-2004 07:09 PM

All I see is the flash logo on the page. What am I missing?

Zeke 11-26-2004 07:24 PM

You have to scroll down and hit the "play" button. :D

M.D. Holloway 11-26-2004 07:48 PM

It's like magic! Awesome site. Coolest thing I have seen all week, maybe all month! I'm gonna practice all night so I can surprise my wife in the AM.

Man I gotta get out more...

M.D. Holloway 11-26-2004 08:28 PM

OK - I got it! Here is a quick FMEA

1) Make sure you have the shirt facing up (obvious), failure to do so results in a backwards product.
2) Pinching the shirt 1/2 way from top to bottom ensures the best start, failure to do so results in "V" shape finsh (unless thats what you want).
3) Line up the "top-seam-pinch-fold-over" to the same line as the "1/2 way pinch", failure to do so will result in an off center finish.
4) Upon finish, lining up the sleeve on the bottom with both pinched parts will result in a balenced product, failure to do so results in an off balenced finish.

As a collary (sp), don't be skeerd of the "pull-throw" - let it flow. The shirt knows the way. It is a zen experience! KATZ!

bryanthompson 11-26-2004 09:03 PM

Yep, Lube, I was trying to force the pull-throw thing and I couldn't get it right. After a few minutes, I came back and just thought, okay, shirt... do your thing, and it worked fine.

Iron, sew, and cook. It's amazing the boost in domestic tranquility when a man does this stuff himself; always just right, and nobody to blame but yourself if done wrong.
