Large roll of batting
 

If you buy large rolls of batting ( I like to get it a JoAnns with a 60% off coupon) what do you do with it when you get it home? Right now I have one leaning in a corner. But I'm hoping there's a better way. Thanks

I have a 6 ft. folding table that I have raised with bed, risers that I use for my work table. I have a pipe that goes from one side of the legs to the other. I put the pipe through the roll and rest it on the leg supports. When I need batting, I just roll off what I need.

great idea

I store 3 rolls on the bar under my quilting frame; another 3 rolls on a wheeled stand my husband made for me. The wheeled stand fits behind my cutting table so I can roll off, measure and cut off what I need.

Does anyone have pictures I would like to see your set up

I have a deep sewing table made from an old library table. I wrap mine in a tablecloth and roll it under the sewing table. A friend keeps hers in her spare bathroom tub.

Mine is leaning in a corner too! It might get a large plastic bag over it, soon.

I have my roll of batting on a wooden curtain rod, and the rod is held up by 2 brackets that have sort of U shaped "ends" where the rod goes, this is over my cutting table.

I agree! Photos, please!

I put a little bench in my closest and keep all the batting on top. that way I still have room underneath for
other things.

Here are some pictures of the wheeled batting rack. I do keep extra rolls under my quilting frame (its a Gammill with a metal bar for batting) However, it is so convenient for me to pull from the rack behind my cutting table, measure and slice it off.

Mine leans in a corner behind the door in my sewing room. Out of the way but easy to get to.

Mine are in the closet of the sewing room.

Ash happens when I leave batting in the open...

Great idea, I have something similar that hangs from rafters.

I have limited space so decided to attach mine to my rafters above the cutting table. This way when I do need it I can just pull it down, measure the length I need and cut. I have a very long metal ruler nearby that I clamp to either side of the cutting table to keep it straight. My cutting table is 4' x 8' so can't cut in one swoop of the rotary cutter. Here's a pic of my setup. I'm showing the bracket I'm using and how I keep my clamps nearby. And yes, they came from my workshop out back. The metal ruler is from my workshop too. Its taller than me.

Thanks everyone. A lot of great ideas.

Bahahaha! My cats won't sleep in the kitty beds I have for them. Oh, no. They wait until a container of fabric is unguarded, then it's zzzzzzzzzz all the way. little monsters. Same innocent look as Ash, too, lol. Who, me?

When my sister and I go in together on a box of Warm and Natural, she lets me keep the box for my half. I have the box under the sewing table. The cats dent it a bit because they like to sit on it, but it keeps it from getting dusty.

I use to have roll of batting behind my sewing cabinet. Then I had a 12" x60" bookcase thing with square cubby holes is where it sat. Covered with a sheet. I moved that to my dining room. I have enough batting to make us another large double size quilt, then it will be gone. Standing now with a sheet covering it. If I buy another roll not sure what I will do with it.

I like your idea. Thank you for sharing.

some totally great ideas ladies ! getting ready to buy a new roll an i didnt cause wasnt sure where to put it..along with my rolls of fabric i have fresh ideas..yeah

has any one tried putting the roll on the rod in a closet? My sons are basically out of the house and I have a closet that I could empty. I keep playing around with that idea... just haven't had the energy to wrestle with the roll yet. I am afraid it won't work and then I will be worn out :)

I have mine on a curtain rod and it hangs and I cut as needed
