I do think her folding techniques and the idea of arranging everything so that it is visible and easily accessible is a good concept for fabric storage. I think that she's on to something with having people regularly handle and fussily fold and arrange all their belongings -- sometimes doing that is enough of a fix to avoid going out and buying more stuff. Plus, if you've handled it a lot, you remember you have it and don't replicate purchases.
I don't generally speak to or thank my inanimate items, but I could make an exception for my Bernina. I think I will go thank her for years of service and ask if she might like a clean out and a squirt of oil.
