Great advice! I went on a kick of washing things as I brought them home . Well I then decided to do some iron on transfers onto muslin or 100% cotton . Well needless to say all of the fabric I needed (yards and yards) had been washed. Now I wash as I need it. Except scraps I aquire , that's a nightmare.I had a garbage bag of scraps someone gave me in the basement ,basement flooded , what a terrible tangled mess I had after washing those!
I have no other organization advice, I hope to soon get mine organized. My youngest is moving out so I am putting shelves in his room to store my acres of accumulated stash!
(hopefully it will keep me from bawlin and squallin over him moving out)
