Maybe you could pin a ziploc bag into each section and keep the directions in there.

I settled on 19" for the length to cut the Timtex so that I would have plenty of wiggle room to be able efficiently use a single WOF (width of fabric) cut for each sling.

As others have suggested, the size of this project could be varied to accommodate storing things other than freezer paper rolls, so do what works for you. The overall length was designed to be just the right length to clear the top of my quilting table enough so that I hope it won't interfere when there's a quilt "in progress" on the table. I spaced the slings evenly over the length of the backing, and that came out to be about 6 3/4 inches between each one.

Is anyone interested in a tutorial on this? It would be fun to do one if anyone wants it. :D

Yes, I would like to see a tute

Great idea! Love your Juki.

Rubyrednails2 05-01-2011 09:36 AM
Very pretty fabric too! That is a good way to store those rolls of stabilizer, etc.

heberstitcher 05-01-2011 09:49 AM

Thanks for sharing such a great storage solution!

GGinMcKinney 05-01-2011 11:57 AM
Wow! What a clever idea. You should send your idea to some quilting magazines. It would probably be published.

I used quilting fabric and Timtex to make this. The back is one pannel of Timtex covered with fabric on both sides. I made tubular slings of quilting fabric also stiffened with Timtex and sewed them across the top to the back pannel. The whole thing is about 36" long and 20" wide.

What an awesome idea. I have so many oddly shaped supplies.
What a great way to get them off needed shelf space and off the floor and out of drawers.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I just rearranged my sewing room yesterday and was trying to think of a better way of storing my fusibles and interfacings etc...this is a great idea!! Thanks for sharing it :)

tatavw01 05-01-2011 12:16 PM

Only because I HAD to clean it up and put everything away while I built the tables! LOL (It's not that way any more!!!)

Great idea. You have found the perfect solution. Do you have any other ideas for storage? I am very limited on my space.
thanks, Diane

Lucy90 05-01-2011 01:13 PM
Great idea and I may just use it. Thanks for the creativity

roxie623 05-01-2011 01:14 PM
Like this one better than the one Nancy's Notions has. Your tube area is larger and your colors are a lot prettier. Great idea!

Sandyb 05-01-2011 01:20 PM
I like that for organizing. What is Timtex?

quiltaroni 05-01-2011 01:20 PM
Good idea.

Timtex is a really heavyweight interfacing. Any heavyweight interfacing will do.

janiesews 05-01-2011 01:25 PM
Good job! Pretty and handy.

gwena 05-01-2011 01:43 PM
Great idea Wendy

gramquilter2 05-01-2011 02:17 PM
What a great idea, hope you don't mind but I am going to make one of these for my stabilizer.

And yes, a tutorial would be great.

Joan Gaddis 05-01-2011 02:44 PM
neat idea

Juliebelle 05-01-2011 03:04 PM
Cool idea

Matilda 05-01-2011 03:19 PM
Very nice. I am going to do something like this. I am glad that I saw yours and read you used Timtex. I hadn't thought of using a stiffener but I see it makes a difference. Yours looks great! :thumbup:

bluesnowdoe 05-01-2011 03:45 PM
Great Idea thank's
