I have been following this quilt board for awhile. I read lots of ways others store fabric. I had been storing fabric in tupperware plastic containers. Then I read, that's not the way to go. I then put my folded fabric in drawers. Then there were some who said no good. I went back to the tubs. I go through them time to time, and I do not see anything wrong with my fabric, some of it I have had a good 3-5 years. I also keep these tubs in a closet away from light. I live in AZ with very little humidity.
