My homeowner's insurance agent asked for an estimate of my sewing supplies, machines and fabrics for replacement value. He also said to take lots of pictures of the things I have and store them on a computer or thumb drive. Insurance companies don't like to pay you for what it's worth. Also, he suggested I have each of my quilts appraised. Insurance companies will pay about $30 to $40 per 'blanket' for replacement costs. He said an inventory would be a good idea for this reason.
