I wash and dry all fabrics as I bring them home. I buy mostly 4-6 Yard pieces. I use a 24" ruler to fold them with. I store them in stacks on the wire shelves we bought at Home Depot years ago. I have two closets and that is where I stack them. I open the doors and there they all. When I buy remnants I fold them with a ruler too and store those on the top shelf. I have lots of variety of colors and prints. I have many yards and will never sew it all up, my oldest Daughter will inherit it and can do whatever she wants with it. She is also a quilter.
