My fabrics are all in vintage lawyer's bookcases with glass doors so I don't have a problem with dust. Couldn't imagine having to clean the dust off all the time. My overflow is kept in plastic storage containers by categories so I know where to go for what project I want to work on. I have read so many opinions about fabric on wood and using plastic being harmful but personally have never had any problems and have done this for many years. I don't believe there is a right or wrong way on this subject but more personal preference. Somebody is always coming out with something new to spend our money on and swearing you must do this or that to preserve your fabric but quite honestly fabric has survived for decades in just about every situation imaginable so it's really not a issue for me.
