I have a spare bathroom/laundry room next to my quilt studio (so customers have use of a bathroom). But I store my batting on end in the bathtub. When I need to cut it, I lay it across the washer and dryer and use the edge of the machines as my straight line to cut it. So far it's been working great that way and I don't have to worry about it getting all the dust on it from longarming and sewing.
