Default Managing 40 6-yard fabric pieces - Help!

Hello!

It's me the inquisitive newbie again!

You have all been so extremely helpful in all my posts. My studio is so well organized thanks to you.

I am in full production, completing 40 patchwork cushions in the next three weeks, and will be selling them on Etsy end of July. I'm so excited there are no words.

Pictures forthcoming!

I love you and this board SO MUCH! I wish I could something to express my appreciation.

Now for the subject of my post.

African Wax fabric only comes in 6 folded yards.

The way they are folded is insane. The cuttable end of the fabric is nested deep inside, and to get at it, you have to unfold an origami-like structure.

Please tell me how I can unfold and refold the fabric so that the cuttable end is neatly accessible?

I have used your suggestions of a stiff cardboard folding form (A4) for all my 1-2-3 yard pieces and they're neatly stacked in a shelf, vertically like books. It's AMAZING the difference this has made. It was YOUR suggestion!

Looking forward to your brilliant suggestions.
