look like...sometime after everything else is removed, which means
never.

That is a marvelous looking room. I'm eager to see what else you come
up with in that lovely place.

Why didn't they give you the cardboard bolt keeper?

I have never had any distortion of the batting by pulling it that way. The roll turns easily inside the box.

This is how I keep mine. It works great.

Ikea has rollers for fabric etc I think. You could purchase one of those and mount it.

I'm sure you could roll it on a piece of PVC pipe, you might have to tape the end down to start the roll, but it should work, then you could hang it or mount it to the wall.

I hang my batting rolls underneath my longarm machine. I can hang 6 rolls under there. I also have some brackets on the wall to rolls as well. Works great..I slit the plastic plastic lengthwise and set them down over the rolls. I also have some large plastic drop cloths to actually wrap around my wool batting roll to keep dog or cat hair off them..I just use corsage pins to keep them wrapped tight..

Michael, I use those coupons all of the time but have not thought about buying a bolt of warm n' natural. Great idea! Now.... to figure out where I have enough room to even think of how I would store it. Thanks! :D

I look at all these pics of sewing rooms (esp. w/ longarms) and know that I am a "small timer" :oops:

I am awe of all the talent and expertise of the members of this forum. I can't even imagine having so many supplies at my finger tips.
