I get the cardboard forms (for free) from the fabric stores that fabric is wrapped on. They are about 7- 1/2 inches wide, and about 22 long and usually folded. Bring them home and cut each side lengthwise into two pieces about 11 inches long. Then fold your fabric with the fold to the selvege so that it's only about 11 inches wide, and wrap around the cardboard piece. If you have shelves about 12 inches apart insert each like you would a book, and the edges out. They are so easy to access the fabric you need and put it back without having to dig to the bottom of a pile. There is a tut on this website that gives a wonderful example of storing your fabric like this. She has pics and a better explanation than mine. Hope this helps!
