More tips from Bebe!!!!
1. Use a foam pool noodle to roll quilts for storage. They are about 2 3/4 in diameter and 60 inches long. the ones w/ hole in center can be joined w / a 5/8 in. dowel to make a longer roll. to keep ur quilt from touching styrofoam make a fabric slipcover over the noodle.
2. label your stabilizer. Different types of stabilizer look and feel the same. Use a pen write the type on each piece so u will not get them confused.
3. Catch thread snips. Use a small square of batting when sewing or quilting to catch ur thread snips. When full clean it or just throw way.
4. Binding clips. Don't use pins when binding use plastic coated paper clips. Easy to slip on and thread will not get caught on them.

Happy
Quilting!!!!
