Great idea! Thanks.

I agree completely about smaller versions being useful for different products...but here is my favorite tip for fusibles... when buying new fusible, there is a long plastic strip separating the layers... the instructions for fusing THAT particular product are repeated over and over.... cut the first two complete repeats off and just fold them in half, matching ends, not sides....now sew the plastic with your sewing machine on both sides with the largest stitch your machine has.... put all the fusible from that brand, whole, in rolls AND scraps into the bag... store each separate brand/type in its on bag and you will never forget if it's 10 minutes or 20 or holding or pressing..... I saw this on Nancy Zieman's sewing show and have used it for years.... i think i will make the wall loops for my longarm patterns, and a few pcs of fabric that came on rolls... i'm sure other uses will present themselves when started...

Some of my stabilizers and misc. fusibles I've rolled up the instructions around and rubber banded, then stored upright in a crate or large wastebasket. I don't have any more wall space so I am having to get creative with the floor storage. :/
