I have purchased some UNbuffered acid free tissue paper, some lavender sachets (lavender keeps bugs out) here is my question:
After using the paper and sachets can I then store the quilts in those plastic storage bags that you suck the air out of (even if I don't suck all the air out) or other plastic storage bags?

I have my great great grandmothers quilt and as it was handed down over the last 150 years, at some point it started being kept in plastic (like what a blanket or drape comes in from the store) and the thread has dissolved in lots of areas and it has turned VERY YELLOW, but that will be my next post for help on how repair it safely.

So y'all can see why my question regarding putting quilts in plastic.

Is there plastic out there that is safe for quilts if they are wrapped in UNbuffered acid free tissue paper?

Boy, that was a long post for such a simple question, :roll: lmao.

God bless you and yours, thank you for your help
