What a good idea. Bought a whole roll of fluffy polyester batting......was something for u tube.....pushing, sitting and laying on that roll to get it down flatter so we could tie the huge plastic bag closed. Then after much struggling, trying to get it into the back seat of my truck. Of course, wanted to take it in the house when dh was gone and had to wait til the next morning. Yup, it sprung a leak and filled the back seat and over the seats. Thought I would never get it out and into the guest room. When my dgs entered the room, he squeeled, Grandma, a hay bale! That was over a year ago and many many quilts later, it still takes up a huge portion of the room. :-)

I have been using the spacebags for batting for a couple years now. Keeps the bugs out and doesn't take up as much space. You have to be careful when you use the zipper so that the "tab" does not cut the plastic. The colored bags don't seem to be as sturdy as the clear. The cube stores more.

Thanks for sharing. I have not used space bags but it sounds like I should.

I had to look them up on Amazon. Looks like a great idea.

I have that problem posting sometimes too, drives me nuts.

I love the story about trying to sneak in the 'hay bale'! I have done that before with large objects which could not be moved into the house under prying eyes of DH - I shudder to think that when he retires he'll have even more time to try to micro-manage me. LOL
I keep my leftover batting squished in kitchen garbage bags in the closet and stuffed between books and boxes on the closet shelves, and just yesterday I went to grab a remnant for a table runner, and what was tucked inside but a dried-up old acorn! I'd better pull it all out and find the nest! |

Ok this will be the 4th time I try to post this message!!!!
Last week it suddenly struck me to use space bags to store my batting in. Now I get 4-5 times more batting in the same amount of space as without the bags. DUH, why did I not think of this before. Don't know if any one else has problems posting. When I try to submit it freezes and says "Quilt Board has stopped responding".... Very frustrating |
To ALL of you having the "Quilt Board not responding" message I was having the same thing!! and it was Driving Me Crazy!
