pack any way you want but CARRY it in your own car wherever you have to go sharet (maybe consider sending part of it by ups store - I havent had anything bad happen with them, lol) sharet

I packed my whole sewing room in Plastic totes when I moved and packed them in my car no moving van for my sewing room . Well all the van moved was my cutting table and sewing cabinet.

I used mine to wrap my glassware and breakables, then put the rest in boxes. It was a plus-plus for me...didn't have to buy any extra packing material for fragiles and used fewer boxes to hold only fabric.

Most of my stash (16 large bins in garage) is ready to go - the stuff in my sewing room would be packed in more plastic bins. Just tape the tops.

Great idea. Think I will use it instead of packing sewing room stash when we move from Navarre, FL to Ocala, FL. Thanks....

:thumbup:

I used a lot of those vac-seal-bags -I stacked my totes in side each other -stood v/bs into the top tote This saved me a lot of space and was easier for me to handle at both ends of the move -THERE is no way I'd let strange moving people near my stash They show very little respect for other peoples belongings I'm like an old mother hen where my sewing room contents are concerned I can replace most household stuff But my Stash is irreplaceable

How does she store her stash now? Mine is mostly in plastic bins so that is how they would go. I would also put small plastic bins together in a larger box. If it is loose I would pack it in boxes if she has space. If she has no space pack the dishes with the stash instead of packing paper. Bless you for helping her.

I buy the banker's boxes from Offfice Max when they are on sale. Also, liquor store boxes are a good size but don't have tops.

I used the plastic totes, preferably see-through ones, labeled on the lid what was in them, and continue to store stash in them!

use some of your fabric to pack your other household goods. All my dishes were packed this way and when un packed the boxes were again in my sewing room
