mine spools are geared more for gift giving.
Also I make my binding up when I cut out my quilt! That way I do not run out of fabric and have to wonder what will match my quilt when it is done 2-3 years from now! Seriously...that has happened.
On TP rolls, you could not store fabric for that long. They are NOT acid free and would cause fading/staining on the fabrics.
Everything has its use...really it does!

Great idea! Maybe we can see one of these in action. I've seen where people hang the ones made out of TP around their neck to keep binding straight. I wonder if these are too big for something like that.
