How do you store batting?
I have a big roll of batting that fits well in the closet but I have about 10-12 king size bags of batting that I have bought on sale that are really hard to store because they slide all over the place. I took a couple of lengths of batting out and put them in the space saver bags but the seal did not hold and it exploded.
Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

My batts in bags are stored on top of shelving in my quilting room. I haven't had a problem with sliding, but I don't have as many in bags as you do. I do have a number of rolls of batting in a guest room closet.

Thanks. Don't have the box the roll of batting came in -- DH recycled that right away. The netting is an interesting way to corral the bags -- I will need a couple but still have to figure out where to put it.
I do have some space on top of the shelves where the fabric is stored (there is a railing around the top of the shelves - they were made by my Dad). I could put batting up there, but right now it has all my small bins with sorted scraps. Hmmm..... I have to think this through.....

I have not done this but had a thought - what about taking an empty tube, take the batting out of the bag and roll it onto the empty tube. Or if you want to do it right away and the local fabric store doesn't want to give you an empty tube maybe you could buy one of those pool noodles and wind it onto that.

I just saw something yesterday on Pinterest where someone used bungie cords to trap their pillow forms... In the corner of the room, she put two eye screws in the ceiling about a 6" apart and another two in the floor, then stretched a bungie cord between the ceiling and the floor. It trapped her slippery, plastic covered pillow forms! That might work...
