I can "wind" up to 4 yards of cotton fabric and still close the drawers!

This works like a charm. I can see the fabric at a glance, and it stays neatly waiting for me! Since the drawers close, sunlight is not a problem.

For smaller pieces (fat quarters, etc.) I use see-through bins.
Thanks for the close-up and explanation - I wondered how they hung in the files.
