I also hang fabric, but only if it's more than a yard. I use the slacks hangers that have the two clips so I don't have to hang the fabric over the bottom of a regular hanger. I don't know if this really helps, but I don't like having to fold a larger piece of fabric to fit in my shelves with the rest of the stash, and also don't care for adding unnecessary folds and wrinkles that I'll just have to iron out later.
