That's a clever idea! I've thought about just purchasing a whole roll of batting, but I've held off because I didn't want it just stacked in the corner of a closet. I agree this would make it so much easier to measure. Hmm, you've given me something to think about....

that is such an awesome idea! I've been dreaming of a better way to get the batting off the roll--now, wait a few years for the kids to grow up and move out, clean the basement and reclaim one of those shelving units and I'll be all set! thanks for sharing!

You can them pull down how much you need by the tape measure and trim it off up at the wood for a nice straight edge.
That's what my LQS does. No heavy lifting needed after once getting the roll in place.

Good idea, now back to my drawing board for improvements
