would arm wrestle a poodle for that room..LOL... I use the 6" by 24" ruller to fold mine pretty much the same as you do. I then slip the ruler out and fold the neatly folded fabric in half. I had measured my fabric pantry inside to inside and it worked out that it would 5 stacks of fabric. The depth of the pantry worked out to the length of the folded fabric. I keep the fold facing outward so I can see what I have and then if my hands are particularily uncomfortable, I can just slide the 6" ruler under the top fabric of where I removed the fabric I was using and I can then slip it back into where it goes. If I would have had this fantastic way of keeping track prior to learning my way, I would have preferred doing it Sunshine's has. But.. I am blessed to have the two huge pantries and one smaller one and the ability to treat myself via a monthly fabric allowance to even have the fabric..
