Oh to have the option, how lucky you are. I am just trying to keep from bringing more home until I use what I have. That is the hardest part for me.

I have mine in clear plastic totes from SM and xcan see what is in there. Everything gets too dusty here and I have no place to store, this way I can move totes around and see what is in them. Oh to have a sewing room, the dream I have about given up on.

I meant WM plastic totes, we have sugar sand and too many dogs so every thing stays much cleaner in the totes and I can keep things together in totes.

I would recommend standing it up. I don't know if takes up more room or not, but you won't have a mess to clean everytime you need that fabric that is in the middle of the stack. Also, depending on the size of your fabric cut, it can get lost between fabrics. Good luck!

I used to store my fabrics in plastic totes, sorted by color. also some newer fabric in plastic bags. I Never knew what fabric I had. One fine day I ordered some bookshelves from Staples online which arrived the next day. my grandson put them together. Would not recommend them for books but worked well for fabric. Was able to buy comic boards from a place not far from home. 7 x 10 size. Since my shelves were 11 inches high. each shelf has its own color. I love the way it looks and I can find whatever fabric I want in a minute. I also have not purchased fabric in a month. Except for some fat quarters at Joanne's yesterday. don't know how long that will last.

I have the same problem, plus I've got to climb to replace the stack (I'm vertically challenged!:o) I plan on putting everything on boards as soon as I can get enough boards accummulated.

I have done both. I ruler fold my fabric and store it in cabinets. At first I stacked it. I recently read on QB that some ladies stand the folded fabric on end. I tried that and find that it utilizes the space better and is much easier to remove the fabric that I want. When it was stacked, I always needed whatever was on the bottom. lol

I keep my fabric upright. I was always making a mess when the fabric was stacked. I no longer have that problem.

Standing up works for me but i also have tooooooooo much....lol.

The coroplast plastic does take up more room and it is a little pricy. We always recycled lawn signs when I worked on political campaigns because we never had any money to spend. I would think twice about removing them from private property, but if they are on a public right of way, go for it.
Standing up is the way for me, so I buy fewer duplicates and can see what I have. And the fabric I wanted was always on the bottom of the pile.
