Is it ok to use king fitted sheets on a queen bed.

You can recycle a sheet from a bed you no longer own by making a queen-size fitted sheet out of it.If you have minimal sewing skills, you can cut the center of the sheet to fit the queen mattress.A king mattress measures 76 inches wide by 80 inches long, and a queen mattress has a width of 60 inches.It's easy to make the larger fitted sheet fit the queen mattress by decreasing the width measurement.

Place the king-size fitted sheet inside out on the queen-Size mattress and arrange the corners so they are positioned properly.The wrong side of the fabric is facing you.

If the sheet is the correct size, fold it up until it lays flat and smooth.The center fold is about 16 inches.

Using the straight pins, pin along the fold against the mattress as straight a line as you can from the top edge of the fitted sheet to the bottom edge.Carefully remove the sheet from the bed and carry it to the sewing machine.

Using a straight stitch on the sewing machine, sew as close to the pinned line as you can, without removing the pins.
