Wasn't there a thread on here that told how to use the various ruler size methods to fold your fabric consistently?

I want to fold mine to fit into the plastic containers so that they fit in it like file folders....if that makes sense. I have FQs, Charm Packs (only a few) and yardage...not more than 3 yards of any one cut.

Does anyone remember the thread?

I have mine in plastic tumblers. One for remnants, one for sporty fabrics, one for floral, one for animals, etc. I'm still a bit new and building my stash so my tumblers will need to be bigger soon.

Ohhh I know the feeling. While dh does work on my sewing room that I can't help with, I have been doing my fabric like this. It does look alot better and I figure now I will be able to go right to what I need. But it has taken me a long time to get it done.lol I'm sure you do like it better.

TY, yes I love it like this. I have a long way to go but I just started so I've gotten alot done.

I do have a lot in plastic containers, but I hope to get most done this way.

For part of my stash, I use a 4-drawer file cabinet, fold the pieces to fit the width of the drawer and stand them on edge like files. They are also sorted by color. If I had room, I'd try finding another cabinet @ a yd. sale. Had to resort to plastic bins made in file cabinet style. Works fine but seem to have them everywhere. Often wish I was back in my 9 room house. Oh, yeah, forgot---I'd have that much more to clean. That's almost a dirty word. LOL
