oops! could you send it another way?

I serge the edges of new fabrics before washing, so I can tell instantly if I've already washed a fabric by checking to see if the edges are serged. Now I'm thinking I should use a Sharpie to write date and price/yard on the selvedge, too - just for fun. Some of my stash has been around for DECADES!

Sorry, would you be able to resend it? I must be the only one that can't open it, Thanks

Nope, don't label, don't measure, don't mark. I sort mine by color (mostly) or some other hair -rained scheme.

When I get ready to start a new quilt, I browse through my books or magazines and pick a color line. Once I go through the bins with that color, one of three things will happen:

1. I find what I had in mind and there is enough to do the quilt. (rare event)

2. I find that I don't have enough of the fabric and find an unexpected alternative which, of course, requires a change in pattern. (regular event)

3. I decide to buy new fabric for the initial pattern choice. ( yeah, that's happened a time or two. lol)

What a great idea. I haven't done it though. Wish I had in some cases.

This is the imformation on the label I created. I do need to add a spot for the price per yard. You can put any information you want on your labels and know mine will change over time.
