Run the chain thru the plastic pipe, slide on the tube of batting, Hubby on one side, me on other, up to the ceiling it goes and hook chain into cuphooks. I have 4 rolls on my ceiling, clean and out of the way.

I store my rolls under my quilting machine. The table is 14 feet long so I have lots of room. The pieces I fold and lay flat on a shelf. Large leftovers i piece together and use as soon as possible.

It's all done on your sewing machine before you even layer your quilt, no stuffing required. I learned from visiting Patsy Thompsons blog, and she even has a few instructional videos on YouTube if you're interested. :)
