I used rolls of Hobbs batting and I too hung it from the ceiling using chain attached to a drapery wooden rod. I had it hung at the end of my work table. Worked great since I had to pin baste my quilts on my work table.

I have mine in the back room in the box standing up. I am afraid to keep it in the basement. Too expensive to take the chance of it getting smelly in the basement.

That very close to the way I have mine. I did not use a broom handle I use a piece of PVC.

Mine is under my longarm - have a pole that holds the whole roll- very convient.

Several of you have said it hangs from the ceiling, do you cover it to keep it from getting dusty? I average about 2 yard a week. Sometimes more sometimes less just depends. This week I've gone through 6. I thought if I hung them then I could cover them with a sheet to keep the dust off on the weeks that I dont use as much. Watcha think?

I have space for one roll of batting under my long arm machine table and two rolls of additional batting hung from the ceiling above my cutting table. We used closet rod for the hanging rolls.

I have 2 boxes of Warm and Natural. I store them in their boxes in the garage. But the garage is right next to my sewing room and easy to access.

My roll just sits in the corner of my sewing room collecting dust - unfortunately.

I have one roll of W&N (maybe half gone now) and one of W&W, both in their original boxes in a spare bedroom. I would love to be able to hang them on a wall with a place under that to pull them out and cut to length.
