I bought plastic tubs, like the ones for under the beds and sorted by color or type, but I am finding the fabric gets messed up inside when I or family sort through it for something. Plus trying to pull out bottom tub from 2 or 3 on top of it is really hard. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful storage for quilting. Sally
Did you by any chance see my before pix in "quilt room in progress"? It was so difficult to find anything! Now it is wonderful! Sometime tomorrow I hope to get pix on the board for you all. Thanks so much for enjoying my efforts.
I did not cut slits in the plastic, nor did I use pins to start wrapping the fabric on the boards. I just held the fabric tightly to the boarda dnhad the rest of the fabric draped to the left and layed the bulk of the fabric on a chair to hold the weight. Then I folded as carfully as possible and fastened it all with either a straight pin (with a ball on the end) or a "bolt buddy". You can find them on "Ploar Notions" A LQS sold me several hundred and I used the pins when I ran out of the Bolt Buddies". My husband cut the sheets on his table saw and I held the weight to the left of the blade. It went smoothly and I love the little bolt cards! :D :D :D :D
