Thank you all for your ideas on thread storage, now i need your ideas on stabilizer storage. Do you keep the stabilizer rolled and stored in a small plastic garbage can? What about the water soluble kind? And, how do you keep the woven and non-woven stabilizers separate and marked as to which type it is? T I A

I don't have a lot of space when it comes to storing stabilizer so I have them in at least 3 places. The smaller ones I have up on the wall in a rack for foil paper. The much larger rolls like cut-aways I keep above one of my bookcases keeping their plastic wrap on them as it could be months before I use them so this keeps the dust off them. The ones I use the most including the mesh and water soluble type I still keep their wrappers on them first so I can see what they are and second to keep the dust off them also but I keep them on a shelf under the cutting table so close by where I can just pull them out. It's the best I can do with the limited space I have.

i use a hanging shoe/purse organizer.
the long/wide roles stick out the sides but that's not an issue for me.

I bought an over the door stabilizer from Nancy’s Notions years ago and it works very well. I couldn’t find those on-line when I tried to find it this morning. If you google “over the door stabilizer organizer” though there are very similar ones out there.
