I fold with my 6 x 24 ruler and my shelves look great. The only problem with that is when you have a really large (6 or 7 yards) piece of fabric. It ends up looking like a roll. I usually just fold them into a large square and put them on a bottom shelf. I, too, am moving my sewing room to another room in the house, and didn't realize what a challenge it was going to be. Hubby said, "oh boy! You're finally opening a fabric store. Maybe some of this will leave now." How dare he!!! Nothing is leaving until it's attached to lots of other little nothings! LOL!
