How do you store your batting
#32
My sewing room is in our finished basement and I store my rolls of batting on the ceiling, Hubby put up some hooks and I got some closet rod to go thru the roll. It works great and I just pull off what I need at the time.
as for the pieces, I store them in rubbermaid bins and when I have enough, I zig zag them together to use in charity quilts or childrens quilts

I usually buy whole rolls with Joann coupon or when on sale elsewhere. My SO cut a broom handle a little longer than the roll, put cup hooks in each end. I put the broom handle thru the tube the batting is on, attach length of chain to each cup hook and hang it on another hook in the ceiling. I have enough room for two rolls. Of course it helps that I have a wooden ceiling since I live in a log home but I'm sure you could do something similar. As you can see it's almost time to shop for more.
hanging from ceiling out of the way

My mom and I bought the whole bolt last time it was on sale at Joann's. Mom has a gammill so it's on the bar under the table. I think there are 3 on there right now.
Thanks for those videos... they are great. I really like all of her videos.

I buy mine on the roll that is standing in the closet with numerous totes of felts, wools, faux furs, etc and a few other vinyl rolls that I work with. All the cut pieces are with the intended project and small pieces are in a linen/sweater bag for storage. I too sew these pieces together for other uses - quilt as you go quilts, cosmetic bags, etc... Only itsy bitsy pieces go inot a pillowcase with fabric scraps for doggie & kitty beds for our local shelter. Waste nothing.

A friend of mine had her husband put up brackets in the dead space over her door in her quilting room. She then added a closet pole to lay across the brackets. She puts the roll of batting on the pole and pulls down what she needs.
