okay but what about when you have fabric that could go either way? I have some brown plaid.....looking at the brown its dark but its also beige! Oh and I'm cleaning today....the sewing area. I'm so flusterated (my own word :-) ) that what should take me an hour or two is taking forever. I appreciate all the tips....I kind of like the idea of bags. I wouldn't have to buy anything else that way and right now money is past being tight!
