Large roll is on a cardboard tube from JoAnn's - stands in corner behind door in sewing room.
Smaller pieces get folded or rolled, stuffed into vacuum seal bag, air sucked out with vacuum sealer, sealed & size marked on edge of bag. Perhaps it should be allowed to 'breathe', but this works for me & cuts some of the of volume batting space would occupy. I use my vacuum sealer for many things in addition to freezing wild game. :+) |
I usually buy 2/25yd rolls that are kept under my quilting table(they are 45" wide)if I cut some off from the side I use it in the next quilt, if I can. My friends have used some of the smaller pieces in rag quilts, the rest I store in a big bag.

I think this is an excellent idea...lucky you!

LOL my big roll of warm and natural is in the box, which is on my son's old skateboard when it was new and heavy I would roll it over to the table. Now easy to lift, also about 5 years ago, basement where I sew flooded, so it is up, but we have done some work to hopefully prevent another flood, and everything is up off ground now. I have bit plastic container for pieces and always am stitching them together for smaller projects.

On rolls, standing in a corner

Shoving them into nooks and crannies seems to be working for me. lol...

I am still in the UFO stage mostly, what little batting I have purchased is stored with other quilting stuff in my van. If I get stranded, at least I will stay warm.

I purchase batting by the yard off the roll. Keep it rolled on a clean shelf and cut the yardage I need when needed. What's not used for the quilt I'm working on I cut into blocks for "Quilt as you go projects". Works great for me.
