When I re-org'd my sewing room, I bought two bookcases with doors from Ikea and proceeded to refold 30 years of fabric using the ruler method. it took many days. Now it looks gorgeous and is all sorted by color...truly a sight to behold. However!!! In studying the comic book method, I began to see that if one folds and stacks the stash one piece on top of another, the stacks get messed up when you want a piece from the bottom, whereas if you use the comic book/quilt shop method of lining fabric up like books in a library, you can pull out a piece and not leave mayhem behind.
Is it enough to make me want to refold my entire stash? Nah. But it's something to think about.
