It can be hard to tell which is the top and which is the side of queen or king-size sheets, so you can sew a tight loop of colored thread into the hem at the top and bottom. Leave the loose ends untrimmed so they're easier to see.
I've done that with socks too. For some reason I bought some some socks that were identical to some I already have, but just a little bit shorter. So I just sewed a little knot of white thread into the tops of the short ones. Makes matching them in the laundry much easier.
