In my case - there are two values for what i have -
What i paid for items then -
What it would cost to replace everything at today's prices.
One could take pictures of some of the stuff and keep the pictures off- site.
You might ctonsider dealing with one category at a time -
Fabric
Machines
Cutting equipment
Rulers
Books and patterns
Batting
Pressing equipment
Craft table
Needles and pins
Quilting equipment - long arm, frames
Storage - shelves, drawers, totes
Miscellaneous
If one does embroidery, or other embellishments, there are more categories

It so depends on how much you really keep in your "stash"....It could easily be somewhere between $5-10 thousand! No clue how much fabric you had...just know that insurance companies never "overpay"...I would figure $10 a yard, and go from there.

It is apparent that your insurance agent does not sew or quilt. Itemized list of fabrics? Get real...
My insurance agent wants an itemized list of my fabrics and sewing supplies. I don't know how I am going to do that since the list is always changing. I took an quilt appraisal in to add a rider on the home owners insurance policy. If the house is demolished, the insurance will give me about $30 per quilt tp buy a new "blanket" with. My insurance agent was floored when I handed him the appraisal. He had no idea what a quilt was worth.

Has your agent told you about owner's negligence ? Better ask what that entails pertaining to your policy. I was so mad at our agent for not telling us about it I changed insurance companies. It would have taken him two minutes to point it out on our policy and it took me all day to read the policy and find out what it meant. The new agent told us up front about it before we asked.
