a professional quilter friend of mine suggests you keep your fabric covered so the light will not bleach out that exposed edge. Who, I asked her, keeps fabric THAT long? lol She did have a point tho... just another piece over the front of the cabinet will do the trick.

TY for the web site. It looks like the ones you bought are $6.50 for 10. How long are they? I didn't see a length measurement.

I looked at other things at that site - amazing how many things you can use to'hang' things!

They also snap together to extend the length

Thanks for all of the photos. They are great. I am sure my sewing room will be that organized too.................for at least 15 mins!!!

if you buy your batting by the BIG rolls for machine quilting I would suggest hanging it from either the ceiling or a wall where it would be out of the way over a table so it can be pulled off and cut right where it is . I have my room all planned but due to remodeling other parts of the house I don't think I will get my room:(. I also think I would hang a flannel tablecloth so I could have a design wall I wouldn't' have to sit on the floor to do lol

Hi, I'm Ramona and love reading this Board, but haven't posted until now. You might want to try the Yahoo Group "yoursewingroom" for great pictures and scads of ideas on how to organize or setup or improve your sewing room. Nice ladies, too! It's one of my favorite groups.

I have found that the triangle is the best for me. I have MS and it saves me lots of steps. I also have floor to ceiling book shelves that I sort my fabric by color. I measure the fabric and tag it also. Larger yardage of material I place on carboard bolts( Joann's are more than glad to give them to you. Those I stack in an armior standing on edage. Batting I buy in bolts and backing too. I buy clear plastic storage boxes used to store scrapbooking paper 12"x12" perfect to place pattern and materials in for the project I am working on or will be. They stack nicely. My fat quaters I bought basket to fit the size of a folded fat quater. I use other baskets to store binding and bias and hang them from the ceiling in my basement. My husband built a shelf to house my TVand radio and disc player. It is at eye level. (I just like it on for the noise) I also have a small college type referiator to keep cold beverage and fruit in for those snack time. My husband also placed two set ofshop lights,one above cutting board and one right above my sewing machine. My Pa made me two shelves to hold my rulers and templates. And since I am in the basement I have an esculator to ride down and up the steps. As you come down the steps you will see a sign up above that says ,"Rosie's Heaven" along the side walls coming down the stair case are photo of quilts I have made and are framed with a discription of the quilt and who it was made for along with the pattern name. I know this is long but maybe some of these will help. Above all it needs to be comfortable for you.
