I don't have problems with fabric stored in bins as I still have a few bins full yet. But outdoor fabric I am allergic too. Last year when I was making new cushions for my porch furniture I was wheezing and coughing the entire time. I still have it in the sewing room but over in a corner. Think its only when I'm man handling it that it effects me. I'm also allergic to my kitty but I'm not getting rid or her either.
