Although plastic totes sounds really good (that's what I wanted to do) there is a lot of wasted space. My husband told me but I just knew he didn't know what he was talking about. I hate it when he's right. :oops: :roll:
How far of a move??

Use small pieces as packing for dishes and glassware. It really saves room. And not all the paper to be tossed or recycled. A lot less mess. Just refold the fabric and you are done. :

They threw plastic storage units aside (and other things), and I ended up with a huge bill from the rental company to "haul those" things away. $$$$

Then, as it turned out, the load was unloaded into storage, until our house was finished, loaded again to finally get here. We thought the house would be finished, but it wasn't for nine weeks. Best laid plans of mice & men...

What the???????

I'm afraid I didn't understand this either :roll:

When i moved, I labeled the boxes with my stash as cat liter. That way I knew which boxes went in the sewing room, and nobody would let them get rained on. I moved in November so it was raining cats and dogs. I am surrounded by people who just assume my fabric could all go in the dryer, to dry! Ask me how I learned this?
