Should I do it?
#71
I too have tubs but I did not purchase the great big ones. Mine are about two to four gallons in size. I have loved looking at everyone's stash organization posts and pictures so on a QB posters advice I went and got some comic book backer boards (100 for $10). I too am going to fold my fabrics around them but since they are already sorted by color I'll be able to put them right back in the tubs and put the lids back on. They are stacked under my LA quilting frame so I just have to spin around in my chair to look at the clear tubs to see what I have. Maybe just a different method of tub storage would work for you too? Just a thought.

Your hutch is beautiful, but it probably is not large enough. I had the same storage problem and purchased a large metal office cabinet with doors and four deep shelves. It works great and holds everything.

Looks like your fabric is creeping out od the sewing room anyway so just go for it. Those S&P are just collecting dust and are crying to go into a tub. BUT watch out the next thing you know you will have a full bedroom full of tube of things you dont have time to dust just ask me I know. LOL

What will you do as you get more fabric?
I would refold your fabric and continue using the storage bins.
I think you might be surprised at how much more organized your bins will be. I've started refolding my bin stored fabric using the ruler method.
Another question, is your hutch in the same room as your sewing center?
