Tried the pegging method mentioned above but there's always one end that detaches itself so the whole lot falls on the ground.
Does the old rule that 'if you wear on your top, you peg it at the bottom, if you wear it on your bottom, you peg it from the top' still apply. I remember that from childhood.
I try to fold it in half in the kitchen, gather it up in my arms, chuck it over the line, then separate the two halves in stages as it keeps falling off. Eventually I end up with the sheet in a single piece draped slightly askew over the line.

1. Fold sheet in half2. Peg open corners to the clothes line giving a little slack.3. Peg centre of the side away from the prevailing wind to the line.The wind will billow into the centre of the sheet and aid drying… job’s a good’n.
