Will it damage fabric to store it long-term in wooden dressers drawers?
A year or so ago I put some left over fabrics from my first few quilts in my bottom dresser drawer so they can lay out flat. They were already starched and pressed and I didn't want to refold them. Plus, they were all different sizes as well.
Forward to today, and I've made many more quilts and have more and more left over fabrics I really want to store flat. I've been primarily making lap and twin size quilts so I have had quite a bit of leftover fabrics with each of my projects. Eventually, I'll get back to these fabrics and make another quilt from the collection.
I've used up all my under bed storage so I'm thinking of using more of my dresser drawers. My dresser is wood (not sure what kind) and about 28 years old. Is this safe? Should I be lining the bottom and sides maybe with some type of tissue or other material?? Thanks.
