I would really like to see pictures! I'm sorry I'm so dense, but my question of selvedge to selvedge, could be taken 2 ways...either lengthwise or crosswise! So if it isn't too much trouble, please show pictures. The man I used to work for told me one time he was a "visual person" that he had to see things done, maybe I'm that way too!

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.
