Right now, my fabric is folded and stacked. On the higher shelves, I have used the throw-away cookie sheets from the $ store to keep the stacks from falling over. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

I like scrap quilts and have a lot of sizes and scraps. I include fat quarters with yardage. I fold it so it goes with my big stuff. Like it not folded different and fits better. Extra creases gone. If odd subject, goes with centers (medalions), panels, kit ideas, or orphan blocks.

I use cheap book cases I've picked up at thrift stores for $5 to $10. The shelves are moveable, so I can add or take out as needed. Here's a pic of my first one. It only had one fixed shelf in it and the others were missing but for $5 I brought it home. The bottom section was just the right size for standard fabric bolts so I didn't put a new shelf there. Went to home depot and bought a long piece of cheap shelving and had it cut to put shelves in the upper part. The book case is just the right height for three rows of fabric on comic boards. I have more book cases now, one configured like this one and one with more shelves in it.
