This works like a charm. I can see the fabric at a glance, and it stays neatly waiting for me! Since the drawers close, sunlight is not a problem.
For smaller pieces (fat quarters, etc.) I use see-through bins.
Thanks for the close-up and explanation - I wondered how they hung in the files.Originally Posted by qltncat
I use 2 lateral file cabinets that I picked up when an office closed. They were filled with hanging file folders. I ironed my fabric, folded it lengthwise in half, and wound it around the files, as if they were bolts. I secured the top with long rubber bands. I can "wind" up to 4 yards of cotton fabric and still close the drawers!This works like a charm. I can see the fabric at a glance, and it stays neatly waiting for me!

Unfortunately, I don't have a sewing room so utilize anything I can including...ArtBin satchels, dresser drawers, and even plastic bags. My dream would be to have s all shelves so they would be together and in the open for easy viewing. A closet for this purpose would be perfect, because then they would be protected from the light.

I use the plastic stoarge boxes...on a metal shelf that rolls. So I can roll one out into my room if I need to.
