Default thank you for posting about the ruler fold method!

thank you for posting about this ladies! I never knew it existed and now I can see all my colors and I can use the fabric I already have! I'm working on organizing my bookshelves so I can clear off a bookcase and bring it into my sewing room to use for fabric. yay! now I can see what i have and i don't need to buy more fabric in order to create! Yay!

Once you are organized you will love it. I can get so much more done now!

I finally put my stash on mini bolts this year and it really helps to actually see what I have. Of course the flip side of that is...I need to sew faster!

Its great once you get all of your fabric out where you can see it. I didn't do the ruler method but found the best way to fold for my shelves and was amazed at the fabric I had and had forgotten about. I'll never use totes again; well under my bed are slide out totes wit lots of fleece but I know what's in them. I also went to Home Depot and had more shelves cut for my bookcase so that they weren't stacked as high and I could organize them better by color or print.

Isn't it awesome? I've finally gotten most of my fabric ruler folded. It's great to be able to actually see what I have in the stash.
