How do I move my stash and stuff?
#1
My DH and I are moving back where we moved from originally because he's retiring. I have about two and a half months to get things sorted and packed up. That would include my quilting studio. It's not in horrible shape because I organized back when we all went on that organizing toot. Remember? However it's not in GREAT shape either. All you ladies who have made moves and survived please help. I need to get rid of some stuff I don't use and won't use in future. What should I do with it? I also need to make sure I can find all my most important quilty items once I'm in my new house. That'll be the first of what I'll unpack. Except of course my sewing machines. Any and all tips will be gratefully accepted. 8-)

My Sister laughed at me when I moved just less than 5 years ago but now knows why! I packed; my quilting bits m bobs last, in fact it traveled in my car, and was the first thing to be unpacked ane put in situ first, I know my priorities, and so does my family :twisted:

i moved about a year and a half ago i had a sale invited quilting buddies and sold everything i didn't think i would use. that is before i knew about this site. Would probably sell here now. i used BIG plastic tubs to pack all fabric that was not on bolts. Heavy black plastic bags for fabric on bolts. put everything from each peg board in separate plastic totes same with all the stuff that was on cutting table and sewing table. That way when you open a plastic tote you know that all the stuff in it goes in one place.Be sure to not pack the boxes with books to heavy and good luck. here is a picture of room after unpacking http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-87898-1.htm

The only thing I did that I thought saved me time unpacking was putting small things in plastic bags, like smaller rulers, machine feet, bobbins and thread. Then I put them in the boxes with fabrics. Fabrics and accessories went in boxes on the truck. My machine came in the car with me.
