    Thanks - it took a bit of doing because the room is so small, but I love it now.

    Brosier, I notice you are "in hiding", probably in your sewing room! I love your machine covers...I need to get busy and make some.

    Yes - they're easy and really keep the machines cleaner so they require little service. I've finally managed to make 1 for the MB4, too. Yes - I seem to spend most of my time here in the sewing room. Love to sew!

    ps - I was born in Oklahoma City, but I live in Mesquite TX. Southern Oklahoma is pretty close, right?

    Suggestions?
    I have been using the ruler-fold method for about 4 years now. Works great for me.

    The one in this link is very nice looking!

    New storage....looks like it is leaning....but it was me leaning---reaching over my quilt frame!

    This is the method I use (but I hadn't seen the video). I also use the same kind of container but I fold the fabric enough times to fit upright like she did the small pieces. That way you can see what you have at a glance without flipping through fabrics. It takes more containers but well worth it. Has worked well for me and the containers are not very expensive.
