Easy viewing of your fabric for pulling fabric for a quilt,
bins, shelves, etc. You want your fabric stored where it can breath, you can see what you have at a glance. Not have to shuffle through it everytime you need a piece of fabric.
I would say draw storage is the worst way to store fabric.
In a closet to prevent fading from the sun in wire bins, or on shelves would be the best way to store fabric.
