There are some great ideas for fabric storage on YouTube. I am on my iPod, so can't post the link, but Search for storing or organizing fabric. The one I like best shows how to wrap your fabric around your long ruler, slide the ruler out, then fold in half and place on a shelf, in a bin, etc. I am tired of bins because they are so heavy and bulky. Another video shows how to make an easy roman shade to cover the front of your shelves to protect thefabric, but you can raise the shade easily if you want to see what you have.
