I ask this question as I have just pegged out some washing and I always peg out my sheets by the corners so the middle bit gets to blow about.

I have just noticed that my neighbour has theres pegged out with the sheet going over the line. I wonder if it is because she has dogs and worried it might be pulled off the line.

I use to peg them out over the line until I read a tip saving book that said they dry quicker by pegging out just by the corners.

So what do you do corners or over the line.

Yours

    Corners, dry quicker and with 3 kids I have to maximise drying time.

    Corners, every time with one peg in the middle just on one edge (wind side). The wind gets caught in the middle and the sheet blows out like a balloon. Dries in half the time. You've got to make sure the pegs are secure though. I presume you have a choice on a sunny day as the sheet will dry anyway.

    Corners - takes up less space on the line and dries quicker.

    DH always throws sheet over line thereby taking up all the space in one go.

    When I have a lot of washing I do peg out like things like pants, socks and hankies between the pegged corners of sheets. Thus allowing me to get more on the line.

    corners unless there's no wind at all
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    I agree with the others corners. I have just always done it like that.

    Just to be different:rolleyes: :D I fold my sheets in half along the narrow edge and then peg by the corners so as they are taken down they are already part folded for ironing.

    I do the same as Math. :D

    Except I skip the ironing bit.

    Yep, corners, with one peg in the middle, at the very edge of the sheet. This way, they billow, like a sail on a boat, and the wind catches in them and forces itself through, thereby drying quicker....splendid!
