We moved from MN to NV a year and a half ago. We had a 4000 sf house and only had a 26 ft Penske truck to move it all in. I couldn't afford to waste an inch of space. I used my fabric as packing materials in places where I would have used bubble wrap or peanuts to fill void spaces in the boxes. All boxes were packed tightly so that there was no chance of them caving in or their contents moving. The only item that broke was an outdoor table leg which was not boxed and I think that was due to someone tugging on it. I do pre-wash my fabrics but I don't iron and starch until I am ready to use them. I mostly rolled the fabrics up for stuffing into the boxes so I found unpacking to be very easy. The fabric was clean when exiting the boxes. Even though I used a bunch of stash for packing, I still had over 27 boxes of just fabric. I will use my fabric again for moving since I found it to be economical and an environmentally friendly packing material.
