Do you have a system for storing these strips that works well? Please tell me what to do so I can get my table cleared off and get to work sewing!
Take the cardboard rolls that paper towels or toilet paper come on, and roll them onto those , or plastic tubing or anything tubular, then pack them into tubs. They stay flat and ironed that way too.
