I'm not moving-did so 18 months ago. But, I like the idea cite by 'yngldy' to take pictures of the fabric in the plastic boxes so she didn't have to open each one when looking for fabric. I guess I will have to go get the phone. I have most of my fabric (one yard and under) stored in 12 quart plastic boxes and labeled. When we moved we set those boxes into large moving boxes which were not to heavy. So easy to put back in place in the new house and start sewing again. We moved ourselves with a rental van and it went very smoothly and was cost efficient.
