I use my 6" wide ruler to fold my fabric. It's just like using the cardboard bolts at the fabric stores. But after I fold it, I pull out my ruler and then fold them in half the other way. Two rows fit perfectly in each shelf. I also just love looking at my wall of color.
Let's see if I can make this clearer. Yes, the fabric is folded selvage to selvage. The ruler I use is 6 inches wide by 24 inches long. So if I lay my ruler so the length ~ 24" ~ is from fold to selvages, then I start folding it 6 inches at a time, like when you get it on the bolt, and fold it all the way to the end. Then I slip my ruler out and fold the whole thing in half, folded side to selvage side. If you'd like I can try and take pictures.
