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?

Is there some sort of uniform folding technique I could use? I am "organizing," or attempting to, and I would like it to look at least fairly good for awhile.

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.

I've been cutting cardboard 6x10 and wrapping mine around them. Its looking good but cutting the board is a real pain. going to share pictures once I'm organized
