Your longarmer may have one or two extra.
Also when my husband has purchased fishing poles, they have nice cardboard rolls.

I have mine rolled up and when they are taken out there are no wrinkles. I have several rolled on one roll.

Love your quilts.
Enjoy the art.

Your local fabric store may have extra rolls that upholstery fabric comes on. They are usually happy to accommodate...also carpet comes in rolls sometimes so check there.
